Weight before surgery= 310 Date of surgery 8/14/12 Current weight 272 Goal weight for competition 250... We'll see lol.. I LOVE Halloween..and this year I'm gonna be the sexy pirate! So lets do this!

So I messed up my pre-op diet...fresh start today! Surgery Aug 14 wish me luck people.... This will be hard! Fyi. Unjury unflavored is nasty!

Hello everyone! I am planning on going to Mexico in mid-August. I'm very excited and can’t wait to lose this weight. I'm 5'9 303 lbs. and a size 22. I speak fluent Spanish as my family is Dominican so I have no worries with communication. I have family that have been to DR for surgery so I'm familiar with "3rd world country" medical facilities. My goal is to get down to 150 lbs... So basically 1/2 my sizes then depending on how I look after the weight loss I plan to get a full body makeover if needed. I live in south FL so if anyone in my area is going to be having this done around the same time I’m looking for a sleeve buddy... Thanks for reading my post! Hugs

Awesome post! Gives me lots of encouragement..thanks so much.. Surgery on August 14

Yay Patrick!

At busch gardens and I didn't fit in to the roller coaster....Aug 14 where are u!

I lost my baby wolf ( one of his many pet names) in November and think about him everyday.. It has gotten easier. But still 12 years with my baby Casper were a blessing. I wish you the best at this tough time

I am scheduled for the same date ! Yay

I'm very happy for you such an inspiration. Congratulations on getting of all those meds!

Nice post. very inspiring

299 ..going on vacation on Tuesday lol so I be up a pound or 5 by next weigh in lol. surgery on August 14 2012

I got Ginnie/ahh bras knockoff from Ross.... 2 for 4.99 they fit like a dream I have them on right now in class...ladies you don't have to spend a tom on money on transitional bras..

Well how about going to Ross or marshals/tj maxx.. Bras are like 5 to 10 bux there.. Just to hold u over til you stable out your weigh then thou can buy the good stuff...

I'm August 14 and I'm super excited... Can't wait to hear how you do

how weird i was just thinking.. the same thing.. im full right now and my nose is runny .. lol

good luck !

Cool I'll be there on the 13th , surgery on the 14th see u there !!

Lol @ food porn.. I was flipping channels and got suck on food network... They made chocolate filled beignets...omfg .. I was so stuck a drop of saliva dripped out

Awesome!

I have to take a laxative 3 days before..I'll probably take mag citrate..

So I've been reading about pre-op diets and I'm going to do Atkins..does anyone have any tips? Gonna do this for 2 weeks then go on vacation to Curacao for a week then go right back on it once I get back. Then liquid diet as requested by my doctor..

that does not sound bad to me at all .. esp. since ur going the liquid 3 days before.. do u have to add the laxative 3 days before surgery?
