So today I officially made it into the two-hundreds.  I'm now down 61 lbs since surgery.  It's been slower than I expected; but the addition of my new and fantastic counselor has really helped in the last few weeks.  I'm finally getting this figured ou

Ok, so yes a scale victory this week also of 2 lbs.  HOWEVER, I have been eating the right stuff and exercising every day for 1 week today!  That is a huge victory for me!  Did some soul searching, established myself with a new counselor, and am finall

So it's been awhile, and I need to check back in with my OH family!  I'm down 50 lbs from my highest, but that is over 6 months.  I definitely haven't been using my tool as well as I should and have been burning the candle at both ends with school, tea

Thanks for everyone's responses to my original message. I feel like I am still having a problem with not getting restriction. I'm sticking to low carb and protein shakes (with a few minor slip-ups along the way, hey, I'm still learning/figuring this

So today I am officially 22 days post op and feeling pretty well.  I'm down 22 lbs also so I'll take that as my magic number.  I'm still figuring out food things but mostly doing ok with it.  Happy to say (knock on wood) that I haven't thrown up or had

After trials of back and forth with insurance and weight loss clinic, I am happy to say I am finally scheduled for my RNY on 8/31/15.  I am so stinking happy!!

So, I'm getting very excited to be moving forward along with some of you others.  I don't have my surgery date but have started my pre-op diet.  Weird question, many members I see have a weight loss pre-op diet that seems to be mostly liquid.  The pre-

I had my test review appointment with the surgeon yesterday and I really liked him.  We went over everything in detail and I signed consent for surgery.  They've submitted to insurance for pre-authorization and looks like surgery will hopefully be earl

Ok, test review appointment with the surgeon is this week coming up on 6/25/15.  I'm nervous and excited and all the other myriad emotions are swinging me along in their emotional wake.  

At this appointment I'm hoping they will give me a range

So my pre-op appointment with the surgeon is happening on 6/25/15 and I am excited we are finally here!  I met insurance requirements in May, so that approval went through.  This appointment is just to go over my test results, get recommendations for p
