The weight seems to be flying off of me know. I know I will plateau sooner or later. I have lost a total of 50 lbs. I am so excitied. I can't wait to see the Dr. on thursday to see what foods I can start eating. I am not getting enough protien in and I feel so sluggish.

I had my surgery on Monday the 27th. Last night was the first night I was able to sleep more then 2 hours. I thought I was going to crazy without sleep. I am starting to feel a little hungry but not too bad. I am just really tired of water, soy milk and poweraid zero. I am hopeing on my two week visit I am told I can eat yogurt. I have been dealing with a lot of pain and I also came home with thrush from the hospital. I wish the pain in the left neck and shoulder would go away. It keeps on staying strong. I'm not sure if that is something I need to call the Dr. about. I have lost weight so far. I went in 398 and today 1 nweek later I am 381. So the surgery is doing what I need and want. I wonder if I will be able to eat food again. I mean oatmeal, sandwich, and so on.

Looks like Monday is a go for my sleeve. I am also having my galblladder out. I am nervous and excitied at the same time. It's going to be a big change, but change is good and I could use it my life now. I am finding that going through this I am finding out so much about myself and I see many fantastic things in my future.

Is there anyone out there that was over 350 lbs. that had major weight loss success with the sleeve?

I just got my surgery date. It is June 27th. I am excitied and scared at the same time. I decided to go for the by-pass insted of the vertical sleeve. It took a lot of reasearch to change my mind and I am confident with my decision. I still need a little bit more to loose but I am getting there.

My Dr. told me to take a photo in front of a door and every month of my journey continue to take the photo so I can see the difference. I think this is an awesome idiea.  You can gage your size by how much of the door you can see. I'm going to have My husband take a photo tonight.
I am also going to try to keep my posts light. This journey can be intense at times and I need to keep positive.
So Many happy thoughts to you all!
Good luck in all of your Journey's :-)
