SW: 612 CW: 247 GW: 200 Been following along on this app for a while now kinda in the shadows LOL!! I got a ton of useful info from the forums though that helped me so much so far along the way!!! I know I still have a while to go but I just wanted to share my progress so far after a little more then a year in after getting sleeved. I thank god every day for the second chance he gave me! I won’t mess up this time! Never in a million years did I would be able to lose 365 lbs EVER let alone in a little more then a year LOL!!

I had my surgery done on the 13th of March two days post op and I’m a bit sore but I’m getting their my 2week preop diet helped me lose 15lbs before surgery which made things simpler and had a successful surgery now it’s up to me to keep moving forward with losing the rest of the weight

Wait, I ask women in the grocery store all the time for help, for help, not for pickups. Nothing ever came of it.... Should I have hung out more in the chocolate and ice cream isles for rebounders? Sent from my XT1609 using BariatricPal mobile app

That does stink that it basically adds a stall week per month because of our stupid menstrual cycle. Joys of womanhood I guess! I remind myself about how many calories equals a pound each time I've stepped on the scale this week. It is super frustrating. I've fluctuated all the way to +4lbs. And then the next morning I will be down 2lbs and so on.... Next month when it is this time, I won't even weigh in. It's too stressful.

I did my upper endoscopy yesterday. Aside from the IV needle in the hand, it was pretty painless. Also they are more than likely going to have you do a urine sample for pregnancy testing. The actual procedure is only 10-15 minutes but after they let you sleep off the anesthetic it’s about 45 minutes. Hope your barium swallow test went well today. And the nutrition appointments fly by pretty quickly [emoji846]

I’m 27 and live in Texas. I started the whole process in November and just got approval by my insurance company. I’ll be having surgery May 29th right after the school year ends. I’m both excited and nervous.

So the upper gi was super simple, I was in the office maybe 2 hours total and that was for registration, prep and after. I don’t remember any of it but I had no issues once the anesthesia wore off. Also the psych appointment I had this morning was easy too, he was super easy to talk to, and the questions were just every day things. Happy early birthday!!!! I have to lose weight to show that I’m dedicated to the program and success. I’m trying my best but it’s very difficult. I have read so much on this app and other apps, websites, articles etc that have educated me and help me through this process. My family is also very supportive which is helping me a lot. I am happy to know someone else on about the same timeline as me!!

The nurses all understand but it makes the residents and interns edgy. How do they ever present this on Grand Rounds? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
