I'm in Northern CA and had my surgery on 4/20. No complications. Just taking everything day by day. The gas pains and getting in/out of bed have been the worst. Each day it gets better!!!

Oh you went the day before me. Doing pretty good. Cheated for first time had some ice cream and trust me I have been hard core all the way through. Dumb idea sick as a dog. Via the bottom end of business. Walking 3-4 miles a day. Feeling good. Weight is coming off 2 lbs a week. How about you? Are you feeling strong? Hope all is well. Michele

Hey there Michele, doing pretty good, and my first adverse reaction came from adding too much mayo to my tuna! I lost crazy fast for first couple of weeks, now it's down to about 2-3 lbs per week, but at least it's not going up!! Yes, fairly strong, I have my moments but trying to keep the bigger picture in mind.

Oh, total of 48 lbs as of yesterday. Although I'm not supposed to be weighing myself :)

Funny you say that about mayo in tuna. That was my first mistake. Yeah I thought I'd be losing faster but keeping on on track. Walking and probably not eating enough Protein. Losing though. Really excited to shed the next 20 cause I'll be breaking out the 200's!!! Thanks for answering. Stay in touch! Hope you are well. Michele

Hi. Chele367, I know that area! I used to live off Floyd and mchenry .

How are you doing so far. ? I am kinda of lagging on getting my blood work and going to my psy appt. I am just so undecided. I have always said " if I have ins , I would get the weight loss surgery" well I have had ins for a couple of year and they are going to pay for it. I really want the surgery one day then the next day I am not umm not sure. I just pray I can make up my mind .

I live in Salida. I am new to this whole thing. I have talked to my doctor about having the surgery and I have to meet with a counselor on Thursday. Then I have to take a class in December. It is still a ways away for me to get the surgery, but I am looking forward to it. I have Kaiser. What insurance do you have?

      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?
