Hi all! I just wanted to send well wishes, happy thoughts and get skinny soon vibes to MEREDITH!! She had her surgery this morning!!!! Hope all went well !!!! <3

Yes thats right , I said it! I'm outraged at myself for gaining so much weight . I went from 272 last may to 232 last october. NOW, today....I'm 272 again. Back to my highest. I have been eating like a horse since i found out my surgery was scheduled and everything is a GO. Now, I'd like to lose 10 lbs before I start pre op. Does this sound stupid or logical? be honest , i love all of your honesty!!!!

Thanks for all the info guys! My biggest problem is.....well theres 2 ........1st my boyfriend. Yes, im responsible for my own self but he comes home with all these goodies and I eat them. But he brought them into the house!!!! and 2nd...my life is so crazy hectic that its easier, faster, and cheaper if i stop and get dollar menu fast food on my way from one job to the next. But, proudly I can say ...today I stopped at chik fil a and got a salad fat free dressing, un sweetened tea. and when i stopped at the store i wanted a snack so i got all natural veggie chips Hey, its a start !i'm not trying to lose 100 lbs by surgery. I'd just like to get back to the weight i was when i sent in my paperwork (10 lbs ago i think) I promise to not get addicted to the scale but i will be more conscious about whats going into my mouth. again thanks for the help you guys are amazing and I can't wait to be post op with you all !

Thats a great approach!! I think thats jealously on their part so give them a taste of their own medicine!

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine what your going through. When the time is right you can reshedule. He would want you to do it for yourself. Thoughts and prayers coming your way <3

I'll sub to you! i'm "weightwatcherx3" i did weight watchers vlogs before....now on to the VSG

Meredith, i was thinking that today. My mom and i are planning a trip to atlantis NEXT december. I told her I want to be in a bikini by then!!!! (hopeful thinking) ......... as far as myrtle beach area .. Here are some places you can go to keep busy: -the beach, of course -the boardwalk/promanade -tanger outlets (shopping!!) -festivals (http://www.visitmyrtlebeach.com/PLAY/) -theres a place my mom found that is like a fishing place but theres an area and trail to walk around, i forget what its called , ill send the link later. and theres also a little village place that she found...ill also link that here later! As far as food goes...since you'll have dad and sis there with you...send them to go get food and you can hang out for a bit!!! My mom is coming the first half and my bf the second half....so they already know they're on their own for food i don't want to be anywhere around it!!!!!!! Theres plenty to do down there, i'm sure. Plenty of places to walk, or sit, or shop.

Thats great you've done so well, and that your doc is a hottie!!!

Look at you Ryan! Your ticker is so motivating! Thanks for letting us know we're in good hands. Thats always a good thing to know. Congrats with your loss- stay in touch Meri- are you not being strict with the pre op? or are you just not losing it too fast?? DO you need me to come yell at you if you think about food? I'll do it!!!!!!!!!lol jk im so jealous that your date is so close! WANNA TRADE!?!?!?!LOL I don't feel like august is EVER going to come! You have to send me a link to your youtube, that'll be great for you to look back on later , and great for us to see what we're going to go through! I plan on filming everything! Be ready lol

one of my friends that i met on this forum did her 2 week pre op (muscle milk light) ....and she ended up losing 33 lbs. Doc thought she could lose the rest on her own so she ended up not getting the surgery. I'll be happy with 20!

yay!! I feel like it's never going to be here!!! Looks like you have done amazing! congrats! and welcome everyone else so glad to have all of you by my side!!!

Your so close meredith! I'm so excited for you!!! Glad to see you pop in jafter. How are you feeling? By the looks of your ticker, your doing well!

congrats to you both. Thats great that you guys did it together! I hope she feels better soon!

Not sure about the atkins ones. You may want to type it in. My doctor gave me a list of pre op shakes that i can choose from.....it wasn't on the list. Not sure why. Seems like everyones pre op instructions are different, if they even have ANY LOL

i have Ready to drink muscle milk light. it tastes kind of like slim fast.

this job sounds great. Do you have to be an RN to do it? I'm a CHHA.

Hi all, my friend is having surgery in June. Shes got a thyroid problem. I'm not sure if its hypo or hyper but her doctor is telling her that she may not lose more than 80 lbs the whole surgery. I'm not sure how much she weights but i'd say more than 300 less than 450. Is this the truth? She's now worried about getting the surgery because shes not sure that it's going to be worth it for her. Shes about 28 years old. What do you all think? Ps....shes on medicaid so the surgery is free and so is the skin removal surgery afterwards. Not sure if this has anything at all to do with it but i figured i'd throw it in there.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your page!!! I read the whole story and looked at the pictures for about the last hour! you look amazing! And, I know you FEEL just as amazing. Congrats with your loss. I can't wait to see you hit goal!!!!!!!!!
