So, today It's been officially one year since my surgery. Yay! I am very happy about how much I lost. I started at 264 and am now at 154 and still want to lose a little bit more so my doctor can refer me to plastics. It's slow going but it's going. I wasn't sure what I was going to write but decided to just go with how I was feeling. One of things I love is I'm much smaller and have more energy but I am also a bit resentful. Bigger people aren't taken seriously sometimes by doctors. I complained of chest pain before the weight loss and was told your blood pressure is too high. Now that I am smaller I was told well that shouldn't be happening and got a CT scan done on Thursday. I had to take prednisone and Benadryl because I'm allergic to the dye contrast. Well they did find two blockages in my arteries one at 70% so tomorrow I have to go in and get a stent put in and I'm a bit pissed off that this could have been taken care of earlier if they had taken my concerns seriously. I haven't done any exercise in a month cause I'm too scared I'll keel over with a heart attack. The moral of this story is to pay attention to your body and if you have concerns speak with your doctor and be insistent if you need them to listen.

If you need a good tv show that will have you laughing, especially if you are an 80’s girl- watch Derry Girls on Netflix.

I am having the sleeve on the 25th as well!

Hello. I’m new here. Good luck to everyone who has an April surgery. My date is May 3rd.

I officially weigh in the 130's!! 🎊🎉✨

old-ish timer here. not sure if my info fits the vibe here, but here it is anyway: 4.5 yrs post and am 114 lbs lighter today than i was when i started. i eat all foods like a "normal" person, but at much smaller quantities per sitting.

April 18th. Started pre op diet yesterday

I mixed the caffeine free and the caffeinated tea/coffee slowly reducing the caffeinated until I went completely caffeine free coffee and tea. Caffeine free still has a small amount of caffeine in it though, but I didn't get that dreaded caffeine withdrawal headache.

I had surgery almost 10 months ago. Hubby is just eatting better
