I had my surgery November 9th of last year. I am down 154 pounds since surgery 204 pounds overall. Best decision of my life. good luck!

Thats so exciting...I hope all works out for you!!!

That is great, I hope everything will go well. I hope to be you in a few months are so. Haven't begin my process yet.

Skin brushing feels great, when someone else is doing it. I used to get it at as a spa treatment. I have been looking for a good cactus brush, but can't find one for less than $35. I think you have a great odds on your side with the youth/length of time. I am not s lucky, but am still hopeful. I am also adding the Dove replenishing/rejuvenating body wash to my routine. I scrub with the loofah, just like the dry brushing routine. Can't hurt.

Hope you guys are doing okay today! It only gets better from here! Prayers for you both!

mines too at 8;30 good luck

Good luck, I am tomorrow too and a nervous wreck right now.

I have ordered clothes that will fit me around my goal. I use them as inspiration to eat right, and as something to look forward to. I had part of the clothes from a ways back when I had lost the weight but then gained it back, plus some more. I bought a few pairs of CUTE levi's at a resale shop to hang around my closet to have for a goal. I enjoy knowing that eventually i WILL wear those jeans....

Your body has been through great trauma. Please don't hold your recovery against it. We all heal differently and have different post-op experiences. One who did not experience an allergy and vomitting will likely settle in a bit easier. Everything I've read tells me that this too shall pass. It will get easier. We must believe this. I am almost a month out, and am getting on okay, but suffer extreme fatigue by the end of the work day and struggle to stay awake while driving home. It is horrible! I am choosing to believe this is only temporary. Wishing you WELL, dear.

10lbs that is totally cool I hope I am that lucky. I am still waiting to be approved. The wait is what is so hard. I am doing Weight Watchers until I know I am approved. I lost 6lbs this week. I still want my surgery now.
