Woop!. Starting at 229 today. According to hospital scale.

Why are the robes for like six hundred pound people?. Even the socks are huge!

Meet with Dr. Soong tomorrow for my Surgery consult.

Today is my first day home. Dr also repaired my hiatal hernia during my sleeve. The gas seems to just be moving slowly for me. I was able to walk ten minutes two times on my treadmill today. I'm drinking water and melted Popsicles. Tried a spoon of tomato basil soup but I put it down because there were small chunks of tomatoes in it and every time I drink something, I can feel tightening across my upper abdomen. Guess it's Jell-o for dinner. Still going through it with my live in ex right now.

Wishing you the best on your recovery. The first few days are the worse, but it does get better.

My surgery day is booked for February 1st. This is just for now with hopes to move my date to January. The Surgeons are so booked. Unreal! But very successful with the sleeves!

So happy for you rose.

Good luck! Keep positive thoughts. My surgery is 11/25 ... Nervous!

Shout out to the PR queen.

I am not sure of my triggers, but it is probably related to just watching tv and being bored.

DING DING DING my husband has high metabolism and no weight problem...My mother n law is an amazing " southern" cook. My son weighed 8 pounds I delivered natural ( not by choice) and I had PCOS which makes it very difficult to lose weight and keep it off. I always eat on the run fast food things when the kids had football our wrestling..in the end it's still my fault from the choices I made..that is why I love this journey and the new healthy me..today is my anniversary 27 years. When hubby married me I weighed 80 pounds..uggh I don't want to be that small again but I am hoping to see 115 that my Dr suggested..

I happy for you; sounds like everything is coming together for you. great. I haven't gotten a date yet. I'm thinking February now. I really want to get it done now; but, I'll have to wait. I'm 230 and 5'5" looking forward to losing 70 pounds so I can get off the pressure pills and lower the cholesterol.

You are almost there!! I wish you the best. Keep us posted of your journey!

I am starting to let those who are close to me at my work know. Last Friday... one of the guys I work with told me that I dont need to do this surgery. He told me that I dont love myself because If I did, I would work hard to lose my weight without surgical intervention. Instead of pleading my case, I told him... "as my friend, I would hope you would be supportive but if not, thats ok too because I made my decision for myself and not anyone else". I find that those individuals that have lost the weight naturally are usually the ones that cry the loudest at those of us that choose to have weightloss surgery.

You go rose.
