One month ago today I started this journey. Thanks to everyone who has sent encouragement and support! You guys are amazing!

I was losing my willpower on day five of my protein shake prep. Then I received an email from my surgeon's office reminding me of the importance of following the protocol. That bolstered me up!

After quite some time browsing this site, extensive research, and , meeting with a bariatric surgeon, the decision has been made. All that needs to be done now is to set a date for surgery. I am very excited.

good morning everyone up early to go to the track everyone have a good day

Goal of today is to drink 2 liter of water! 2.5 liters if I'm lucky

Hello WOnderful new friends- today I am one month and 1 day post op and feeling really good. I am enjoyong reading everybody's status reports and want to thank you all for keeping me engaged in understanfing this new life change. I am taking my vitamins daily, consuming at least 60 gms of protein and trying to intake at least 64oz's of water. I feel that is the hardest part so far. I do have 2 questions if I may. Can I exercise more at this point? When can I have a glass of wine? :-)

losing my hair like I'm losing my lbs!! lol

Haven't been on here in a long time, things have changed'

I have officially joined the 200 club! 299 lbs today!

we need to take at day at a time!!

54 pounds.. and I ran 3 miles on Sunday.. I'M RUNNING. WTF!! DREAMS COME TRUE!

not losing weight is causing me to slip into old habits

My scale is driving me crazy! I am so close to "Onederland." However, my scale fluctuates a bit. I can weigh 3 times and get 3 different weights. I usually weigh until I get the same weight twice and then go with it. Or, I just go with the highest weight. Today I weighed 199.5, 202 and 202. So, 202 it is. But I want to get to Onderland!!!!

First post-op appointment, down 52 pounds. This surgery is such a blessing!

Things are looking up, hoping if I can meet all criteria tomorrow, I can go home on Tuesday. Keep fingers crossed!

Just want to be happy

I made it to my first big goal! I am down 100lbs as of this morning. Just 10 more to go to get to onederland. And 45 more to get to my ultimate weight goal. Woot. Woot

Hi Everyone, I had surgery on April 20th and only had limited access to this website so I haven't really been following everybody. But today is my first day back at work and access to this website. I miss all the support. My surgery was a sucess no problems what so ever. Just wanted to check in.

Yay made goal weight
