I have officially reached ONE-derland. My current weight is 195# (down from 291# + a little). I'm beyond excited! Outside of just the numbers on the scale, these are the things I love about my weight loss.

I'm just about 4 months out from surgery, and I'm nearly 60 pounds down. I'm sitting at a weight that I haven't seen since my son (who will be 14 in October) was a year old. For the first time, I really feel like I *can* do this. My ankles and knees ar

I'm about 7 weeks out from surgery, and things are going pretty well. However, I also live in the desert. I am back at work, and I have to drive a lot. I keep water with me, and I drink drink drink all day. I'm getting plenty of fluid in. However, for

I'm 11 days post-op, and I'm down 22 pounds. Even if you include my 2 days of clear liquids prior to surgery, that's 22 pounds in 13 days. Is that normal? I mean, don't get me wrong - it's exciting, and I feel great. I am getting my protein and fluids

I walked a mile today! It was my first walk outside of the house. I've been too embarrassed to walk outside because I couldn't tolerate pants on my sore post-op tummy. But, today, the yoga pants feel good. And I walked! I've lost 20 pounds so far, and

A week out - I am nearly a week out from my surgery. I am overwhelmed by the desire to eat anything but clear liquids and protein shakes. OK, honestly, I just want anything that's not chicken b...

I can't believe I'm already 4 days post-op. The first couple of days were really rough with lots of nausea. That seems to have passed, thankfully! I stepped on the scale this morning, and I'm down 15 pounds from a week ago!. I'm honestly shocked. (I ca

Heading to Vegas - In just a few hours, I leave to go to Las Vegas for my VSG. Well, surgery isn't until Wednesday, but tomorrow really starts it. I meet my surgeon, finally, tomorrow afternoon. I ha...

I'm 8 days until my surgery date. I remember after my c-section (years ago), that lying down was really uncomfortable for a couple of weeks. I'm worried about that happening. After my c-section, I slept in my recliner. However, I don't currently own on

My surgery is scheduled in 12 days, and I'm having a bit of anxiety all of the sudden. I got my pre-op clearance done yesterday. My FMLA is all approved. I'm good to go, and I still feel really confident about my choice. I'm not exactly sure why I'm fe

Hi Folks:

 

I've been lurking on these boards a couple of years, but I only recently finally got around to registering. I have scheduled my date for my VSG - April 29th. I'm excited! And terrified. I'm going to Las Vegas from Arizona du

Hi Folks!

 

I'm new on the boards, though I've been lurking for a long while. I'm looking at scheduling VSG surgery within the next 6 weeks. I'll be cash paying, and my husband and I compromised on Las Vegas as a reasonable price that d
