I used to be a Pixburgher, but move south for warmer weather... :)

Rough loss for dem Stillers last week. If Cope was still around there would have been a few Doule Yoi's!

Make sure you get your Primanti's in before your surgery date. It will be a few months after survey before you can eat one of those, or should I say part of one...

Good luck with your surgery!

Bsanders-yeah, Steelers did great, considering all the injuries! We'll get them next year! Good luck with your surgery! I am scheduled for the 15th. Enjoy your steak! I am having smoked turkey dinner before I go on the pre-op diet! ????.

I am post op. Surgery date was 12/23.

The season certainly had its ups and down. Line backer ply picked this year as everybody stayed healthy. The secondary needs some help. I think Pouncy has missed as much as he's has played.

I never did get my "last dinner". They crammed me in at the end of the year, so the day I found out I had to start my diet.

Your right about Pouncy.. He hasn't played but 16 games in 3 years.. He's kinda fragile I guess!! Next year might look good for us.

How you doing post op?

I'm doing pretty good. First few days were kind of rough, but you expect that. Getting all my Protein and Water in can be tough at times. I started setting timers on my cell phone to remind me. I wasn't prepared for how little I could eat. Early on I purchased little 2 ounce cups at the grocery store, so I could measure everything out. It takes some adjustment, but I have no regrets. I started my preop diet on 12/13 and have lost 50 pounds since then.

Are both you doing a liquid preop diet? I was so thankful I didn't do that. I did an extreme low fat and low carb. Wasn't great food, but it was food.

Hi all you fellow Pixburgers!!! I'm from the City but live in McMurray Pa now just south of Pittsburgh. Have to admit and I hide saying this (I'm not a big steeler person) Please don't hate me ???? I just never really understood football. I do watch them tho lol.

I am half way through the process for my sleeve at this point. I have my 4th visit the first Thursday of February. Still need a stress test but nothing else after that. I've done everything they've asked (and boy it's been a lot!).

@@Ronjohn, congrats on your progress! Sounds like your doing great and adjusting well! And I too will be moving south in 3 years when my hubby is retired from the airforce!

@@Newbe312, Your time is coming up soon! I wish you all the luck! Enjoy that smoked turkey dinner!!! I bet it's gonna taste amazing!

@@bsanders, good luck to you in your upcoming liquid diet! Be creative and enjoy that Steak!!! Do you by chance live anywhere close to where I am since you said south of Pgh? I'm not as far as 2hrs tho.

I hope you all keep in touch and let me know how you all do and are doing!!! Where are your surgeries being done?

@cladd-You live in my old stomping ground. I lived in Peters Township. There are certainly a ton of hoops to jump through. I understand why people go down to Mexico.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
