Mine if anyone is remotely interested HW 365+ October 2017 SW 319 September 5th 2018 And ( drumroll please!) today October 10th 2019 - 181 smoother sleeker pounds. That's 82.1 kg for all you metric folk and for You Distant cousins in the UK 12.929 stone- No Matter the means of Expressing- pretty darned fine for a old chick of 73 with the Natural metabolism of a Sick Sea Snail on a Good Day! This Formerly Plump Princess has become the Empress of All She Can Survey and if I do say so MYSELF, it couldn't have happened to a More Worthy Person- worked hard to shed my Fat Insulating Shell and now the 🌎can see the Real ME I was afraid to show for many years.

And the today thought from one of the apps I subscribe to TAKE THE CHANCE- FOR YOU DO NOT KNOW YET -HOW WONDERFUL YOUR FUTURE MAY BE! And like my Bari- Bud. Lynda486 said " I wish all of this for you!"

I am so proud of you on so many levels. You were able to identify the sources of negativity, address them, face them, and advocate for yourself! Hurray for you!!!! I have no doubt that you will be totally successful with your weight loss after having surgery. I did not lose but a few pounds in my 6 month pre-op period. But I have been hugely successful after surgery. I don't think your doctor can accurately predict how every individual's body will respond to surgery. I can tell that you are determined to make this work, and that is what it takes. When you think of it, it's kind of silly and unrealistic to think that someone who has wrecked their metabolism by dieting, and who needs WLS as a last resort, will be able to take off loads of weight before surgery. If we could have done it, we would have already, right? Please don't let that idea rattle your confidence. If anything, let it make you more determined than ever to prove him wrong. Your coworkers are being just plain selfish. Period. You take care of yourself right now, OK? Please keep us posted about your journey!

Getting so excited just got 150lbs lost and coming into the final days to surgery 18 data to go cannot wait it's been a long road.. Hope everyone who has had surgery so far is going well. I'll be going into hospital 10/28 at 11am I think surgery will be after lunch sometime Getting excited maybe a little anxious but hopefully no complications from the RNY. 50lbs gone 80-90 to my end goal

Thanks Viking- I always have looked forward to Your Postings!

I wish all of this for you!

I haven’t yet. 10 months out now. Not easy. :/

Finally! Got put on soft food today. Had shredded chicken with salsa for lunch and a single chicken liver for dinner. It was amazing. Sent from my SM-G975U using BariatricPal mobile app

Sorry I didn't get back to people after starting this post. I went to the hospital and ended up admitted for 12 days. I injured my kidneys due to dehydration. I'm now at home with 3 different types of anti-nausea pills. They determined there is no problem with my surgery (no stricture, no kink, no ulcers), but they don't have a reason why I've been so sick. Thanks everyone for the advise to get to the hospital!

Yeah that's weird I say keep it liquids for a couple weeks give your stomach pouch time to heal and adjust
