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??

I had mine out last Monday, and went back to the gym today and did crossfit.. So you are probably ok..

I hear you I'm down to a 16 from a tight 26 and sometimes I can't see it, till I look at pics.. Keep your chin up.

You don't want crepes.. then don't eat them! YOU have a choice.

oops

Happy 5 months to us that had it on the 23rd or 24th we are almost half way there and let's keep loosing!!

Man, I am having one of my best weight loss weeks since my surgery! 7.1 pounds this week! WOOHOO!

I think I have finally hit one-hundred land. I am hoping that it stays under 200 even with family here. I have made quite a few good choices and my uncle and his wife see a major change in me. I actually said no to garlic bread, because it wasn't worth it. I did say yes to the Pasta and martini but I am making choices. I actually have 2 days left of pasta but ended up getting rid of 1/2-1/3 of the pasta so it is more seafood than pasta now.

Hi all, I haven't updated in awhile so I thought my recent 6 month check was a good time. I am 65 pounds down and am feeling great. I have 40 or so pounds to go so I am more than half way there even though I have been losing slowly. My meds have been cut in half and I have recently started a Pilates class. No hair loss so far and no complications so...I am happy. I hope everyone is doing well also, we all have our highs and lows but I am so glad I made the decision to live the sleeved life!

This past month was my worst loss so far. 2 pounds.

I know... Me too... I was hoping to get to 100 lbs lost, now I'm hovering at 80 lbs, and think I might be done. Its been gradually slowing down for me. As much as I said I wouldn't make this about a number, I am so close, and I wanted to see that number on the scale I feel so much better than I did at this time last year! I have to keep reminding myself of that! This was the best decision I've ever made!

Putting it in perspective - when was the last time you lost 80 lbs in six months?? THAT IS AMAZING!! Keep your chin (not chins) up - as you said this is the best decision you have ever made. The tool will keep working for us, it just might not be as fast as we want. Great job!!

Yesss!!!!! Thank you!!! I love my new life! Me and the scale on the other hand... Its a love/hate relationship... LOL

I agree, I've hit a stall that is about 6 weeks long. Down about 89 pounds, 13 more to my goal... with determination and the sight of my goal weight only about 13 pounds away... I will strive to work harder, watch what I eat and Celebrate those small milestones in my Quest to become a healthier, lighter and happier me!!! Good luck to you all, on your journeys!!! We didn't do this for the instant gratification, we did this for a lifelong desire to be better, have better and enjoy better, the smaller things in life!!!

It's CRAZY going from a hot, sweaty mess to being chilled! I went through surgical menopause 3 years ago and it's the same for me. At times hot (but not sweaty-hot), and cold at times. Doesn't seem to be a great middle ground!

@@TealSister I've been going thru menopause the last 3years when does it stop omg I'm adding and pealing clothes all day
