My WLS blog is located at RNYLife.com

I have my surgery scheduled for February 22. Little nervous but excited to start this chapter in my life.

Wow congrats!! I never thought of stair pushups. I can't do normal pushups, so I'm totally going to try the stair idea and hope it works for me. Thanks & GL on the rest of the weight loss.

I started doing something similar, just not as in depth as you. But hell... That seems like a better idea. Thanks! Lol

Awesome congrats!!! :-)

Great list. Definitely going to take some of what you listed & add a few of my own & give it to family that can't understand (*facepalm*) why I want WLS.

But to answer you're question, no I didnt imagine myself to be the fat girl my entire life thats why I started looking into options about 2 years ago.

I have been obese my entire life even as a kid. To be honest I don't even know what skinny is because i've always been the overweight one. Looking back on photos I say wow wish i was that thin again...even if it was technically considered fat.

I'm also a shortie 5'2". Highest weight 315. Currently going through the whole process & can't wait to start my new life with the sleeve. Hearing all the success stories makes me cry tears of joy. Can't wait to be a success story too - no ifs, ands, or buts - I will be one & wont stop until I achieve what I thought was impossible before. *high five to every past, present, and future sleever*

My personal pick is the sleeve. My reason is because it seems less complicated then the bypass. With the sleeve the doctor is only touching your stomach. The bypass they are playing with your intestines too which for some reason scares me.

I personally would not. From what I've read you will be doing a lot of walking after surgery to avoid blood clots. What better walking companion than your own dog. Plus, I'm sure there are ways you could satisfy your dogs active needs without injuring yourself.
