Aww Jennifer: I know that feeling. IT will pass. Exactly what is it that is making your nervous? Just think about all those new clothes you will be buying. The new life you will have. The incredible amount of energy that will materialize as if overnight.

Hugs sent to you. PM me anytime.

Jennifer, you are gonna do great and it will all be fine. I have a bit over two weeks to wait for my surgery, but the jitters are creeping in occasionally. Sometimes I think "OMGosh, what the hell am I doing?!!" and then I realize I'm just stressed. I know because I'm cursing. And it passes and I get excited again. Keep posting and begging for encouragement. Things get busy and hectic around here (LBT) and we can hardly keep up...don't be afraid to yell over the din..."here I am!!!"

Your gonna do great!

No problem Jenn: Let me think that first month I think I lost around 20 lbs maybe 22lbs. But it was mostly Water loss but it was still a loss. That first month I was mostly on liquids then mushies. So Protein Drinks, Soups, tuna (very mushie), refried Beans made with Tomato Soup. LOTS of soups. I would recommend getting the Magic Bullet and blending lots of your foods for the mushie stage. I wish I had known about it then.

Hi Jennifer! It's not so bad - recovery that is. I got mine yesterday afternoon and already up and around. Slowly and carefully but doing pretty well. Spend some time getting prepared with pillows, heating pads, ice packs, broth, juice, etc to help pass the time. You'll be fine and good luck!!! Laura

      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
