I am doing this for me.

Today, as I was starting my daily workout on the treadmill, I was debating shortening my time because I just wasn't feeling it. Instead, I said out loud, "I'm doing this for me" and I kept on going. Thank you for this post!

And you made my day with this post on a day that I really needed it! Being on liquids was tough, my boyfriend was getting sick of going to the japanese restaurant for my Soup every other day, but I got through it and you will too. And you'll love yourself for it! Good luck tomorrow, I'll be sending good thoughts your way, keep us posted!!

When the hospital calls at 6 am on the day of your surgery and tells you the surgeon can't perform the surgery that day,

Tell yourself, "I am doing this for me."

Seriously, tho. That happened to me this morning. Total bummer.

Oh wow - sorry to hear that. Was your doc sick?

Did they re-schedule you?

Did you have to travel or was it local?

If that happened to me I'd be in trouble going so far from home and taking time off work etc.

I sure hope it gets re-booked for you quick!

I have an appointment with one of the surgeons' partners tomorrow and they will try and have him do it next week on Tuesday. It is local, but just disappointed.

      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
