Anyone scheduled for surgery in January 2018? I'm booked in for the 12th. Would be nice to chat to people in the same stage x

@fulamuso looking good!!

You're all doing so well.

Happy valentines to you all.

I'm at 235 now so slowly but steadily heading in the right direction ☺ x

Thanks! As long as we're going down it's all good ?

Hey folks! That's another couple of pounds for me to happily report are gone from my life forever this Wednesday weigh-in. I'm at 233 even though I'm super grumpy and hormonal ☺ how are you guys getting on?xx

Down another 6lbs this week. Currently at 324 for this weeks Wednesday weigh in. Have a great week all!

Hi friends!!

I'm 3 weeks post-op today and trying to feel good about my weight loss. I'm down 13.5 lbs and feel like I'm at the slower end of things. I was really hoping to hit 20lbs my first month but I'm not seeing that happen. I am very thankful I've lost this much, believe me, I know I wouldn't have lost this much without surgery. My concern comes from knowing these are my "golden months" where I'll have the most success. I need to lose anywhere from another 100-120lbs.

How are you all doing?

Keep hanging in there and know that you made the right choice. Everyone's body acts differently so before you know it that 20lbs will be long gone and you'll have better things to worry about like OMG I need to go shopping Again for smaller clothes . Keep up the strong work!

Anyone else worried about their kids jumping on them after the surgery? I have a lively 2 and 4 year old and am not sure what to do to avoid it happening!

Haha @mstipps this most definitely happened to me about 2 weeks after surgery. My 2 year old climbed on top of me while I was lying down and kneed me in the gut, in my incisions. It happened so fast!!

I called my doctor and the on-call PA said not to worry as long as my incisions looked okay. There's a lot of protection between that tiny knee and my stomach, and he's 25 lbs, so it's not enough force to do anything. For your 4 year old you can probably explain, mommy is ouchie here! Be gentle...

Yes! My 4 year old was great. My 2 year old tried but OMG she got me good and burst my stitches in one of the incisions. I felt them pop. So gross! Xx

@mstipps omg!!!! You poor thing!!

Slow & steady wins the race! Non hormonal here. 233 would be nice right about now!

Thanks @Seahawks Fan I'm seeing this as a marathon instead of a sprint so not gonna panic when it doesn't vanish super quick. Staying positive. X

I'm OK now thanks @sleeved2win. Nearly puked at the time hahaha! I have a wonky scar now but still healing well ☺ xx

Great job!

Hey guys...at 227 and down 29lbs.
That was on Monday! Promised my NUT i would try to way less! Will use Wednesday as my weekly weigh in from now on. Traveled last week. Up my calories per my nut and 3 pounds dropped! Make sure you are getting enough food in. It makes a difference! Have a great weekend everyone![emoji7]

Everyone is doing so well!!! Are you guys using a website called "eatthismuch"? I'm finding it useful to get ideas of new things to try. You can adjust calories and input nutritional goals like how much protein to get in or carbs/fats etc. It make me feel like I may stop relying on protein shakes
