I finally got my date today! I will be getting my surgery on March 9th!!! I am so excited and 100 things are running through my head! Any advice from people who have already had the surgery? Any one else getting theirs done in March??

Red meat upsets my stomach. Anything with too much fat or butter makes me go to the restroom all night.

Seems like a lot of things causes issues.

I am good with chicken or fish.

I can't eat bread, which I guess is a good thing. I'd kill for a small bite of grilled cheese with tomato soup. Maybe someday. Right now, it clogs up everything and causes pain.

Hi everyone! So nice to see everyone's progress. I had surgery on March 24th and I'm down 68 lbs. Yay. I'm too need to start exercising! That's a big hurdle for me! I feel so much better. I can't believe how much easier it is to move around. So very happy! I think I have about 20 more pounds to lose and then I'll see how I feel about where I'm at. Question for you guys. Do you have anything you can't eat? For me, it's scones. So strange! It feels like a rock in my belly and then my stomach is cranky for days afterwards. Like everything I eat makes me feel bad...almost a little nauseous. Just wondering if you guys suffer from the same thing.

Most likely the bread/sugar combo.. I would def stay away from too much bread.

Bread is a bad one for me too. Also, those grocery store rotisserie chickens. We loved them and it was a semi-healthy meal for those busy days but I've tried a few times and I get seriously nauseated!

I have a question for My march sleevers, has anyone here meet the goal that they set and if so are they happy with it.

My surgery was March 23rd I have lost a total of 98lbs I'm wearing a size 10 WOOT WOOT from a size 20 22. I have met the goal that I set but I feel I need to go a little further. I'm toning in the gym and it still isnt enough all the xtra skin in the tummy area MAKES ME SCREAM UGGGGHHHHH. IM SURE IF THE SKIN WASNT HERE I WOULD BE A SIZE 8!

U lost alot. I'm only down like 70

Wow 98.. I jealous! I was down 75 then gained 13 the past few days during gallbladder surgery!

I had surgery March 11 I am down 79 lbs. I can eat mostly anything. I just graduated from nursing school and I think I will have more success finding a job because of my weightloss. It is a little harder for me because I still have a lot of weight to lose presurgery I was 339 and currently I am 260. I would like to lose 100lbs more. I am 6ft tall. Congratulations to everyone who has hit goal or is close to it. I still have a long way to go.

I fee you with th extra skin! I went from a size 26 to 18 in jeans and 3x to large/xlarge in shirts. I've lost 115lb. I think I could be a smaller size jeans as well if I didn't have extra skin! Oohh well maybe some day! I still want to do another 30-40lbs so maybe I'll still get down to a 12-14.

U will get there i was so nervous that i want doing enough then i woke up one day and was there my surgeon told me stay at this weight for 6 months and he will give me referral to remove skin

Everyone is doing so good. I have lost around 60-70 lbs. I had a major set back and yesterday had my gull bladder taken out. I will once again not be able to go to the gym. It seems soon as I feel better, I then have something happen and am unable to go to the gym. I have also had tons of issues with craving carbs, especially when my stomach hurt. I have tried to be good but honestly I haven't.

Luckily I already had my gall bladder out too... down about 95 since pre op but still have a ways to go too.

I'm half way to my goal. Down 45 lbs. 45 to go. I broke my foot and was not allowed to put weight on it for 8 weeks, then within a week of the boot coming off, I developed a hairline fracture in the same foot. Again no weight on it. With limited mobility, I guess 45 lbs isn't so bad.
