Wow, you look awesome! Congratulations on the loss!

Congrats on making the decision and getting the date! It's coming up quick! I don't have a date yet, but I know exactly what you mean about being nervous about it. It seems every day I have second and third thoughts about it. But, then I remind myself of the reasons why I made the decision that I did and it seems to help. I even went so far as to ask one of my good friends one day if she thought I was crazy to do this. Thankfully, she immediately replied "No."

Hope all went well with your surgery!

Congratulations on your sleeve Chuck! Great song - very appropriate. Although, I almost hit my computer screen when I saw your avatar....

Glad your surgery is back on! Congrats!

Good luck and I hope you hear about your approval soon.

I hope you get your approval soon. Good luck and welcome to the forums.

I live in Michigan (around Clio), but because I am so often in Cincinnati for work, I'm actually going to be having my VSG surgery done in Ohio. Congrats to everyone who has had it done already. Wendy, I'm sure your surgery will go off without a problem.

Congrats! That is a wonderful start!

That's wonderful that you are doing so well! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your story. It gives me hope for myself. Congratulations on making your goal - and surpassing it!

What I am doing is having a protein shake each day and trying to eat healthier the rest of the time. When I met with the dietician, she told me to cut out caffeine and any soda, to stop eating fast food, and to try to eat smaller meals 5 times a day. I was eating 3 times a day - but all fast food, so this is a MAJOR change in my routine. I decided to do the protein shakes so I could figure out which I like. I had ordered a bunch of samples and am working my way through those. But, I can tell you after having 3 protein shakes for 3 days in a row, I can tell that my appetite/eating habits are starting to change already. I can't eat the same amount of food that I would have before. I had ordered a "last meal" of one of my favorite take-outs. Well, after eating it, I was not feeling too well - if I could have, I would have had it all come back up (but it wouldn't come). I've never had that happen before when eating that stuff. I'm not wanting to experience that again, so I really don't think I'll be ordering that again. I contribute it to having the protein shakes - I may be wrong about it and it may just be "all in my head".

Glad you came through it well and don't have the gas pain.

Congrats!

congratulations! Sounds like it went well for you. I hope the hunger goes away for you soon. Thank you for posting.
