Recommended Posts

well next week I will be in my 3rd month of my 6 month supervised diet. (required by my insurance ) last week I went to a lung doctor and went for a sleep study . because my insurance would not pay for me to have a in lab study I had to do a at home study . the home study did not gather enough information so I go next week to talk to the doctor to see if we can get my insurance to pay for a in lab study . I got good news from the lung doctor he said my lungs are healthy and look and sound great . so he cleared me for surgery and sent the clearance letter to my surgeon. YAY! he told me that the only thing that concerns him is that I have a genetic blood clotting disorder and have already been hospitalized with blood clots in both lungs . but he said that they need to be extra careful with me. I assured him that I have talked to my surgeon and he is aware of the clotting disorder and knows I have a history of blood clots . and I really trust my surgeon .I have no time for negative thoughts .I was scared when I started this journey but now I push the scary thoughts away and keep moving nothing is going to slow me down. I put this off for a long time because of fear all the what if's and one day i just decided that I cant let fear of the unknown hold me back. I am glad that I have embarked on this journey and i know it is far from over heck it has just begun. things are flying by and I am getting closer every day. taking it one day at a time. is their anyone else who is still in the beginning of all of this stuff? i would love to have some fellow soon to be sleevers to chat with.

Hey my name is Ana and I just finished my second month of the diet. It's pretty nerve racking and I try to stay positive but it's hard. I try to tell myself I've been over weight all my life so 6 more months isn't that bad lol

      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
