Hello. I was a smoker for over ten years, i was up to a pack a day. I have been smoke free for two months now!! Originally i tried the ecig (v2) and used 4mg for about a week and a half, then i lost it and instead of ordering another one i just quit!! I feel amazing without nicotin!!! I do smell it from miles away and my mouth waters... But i don't give in! Originally surgeon said no nicotin six weeks before surgery, and i would take two tests to ensure i hasn't smoked. It is doable... Is it hard... Extremely!! Is it with it, definitely #!!!!# Surgery scheduled for may 20. 30 days and counting

I am in the same boat! I am using MFP and I got a body media band to track my calories burned, I am losing but not like I should be. They say if you have 1,000 cal difference between what you eat and burn you should lose at least two pounds a week....

I cant wait to not be the biggest person in class or at work. I cant wait to wear high heels!!!!! I cant wait to have my first child (at a healthy weight). I cant wait to order or eat food and not be judged because of my size. I cant wait to not worry about fitting into a seat or chair. I cant wait till May 20 (surgery date). I cant wait to be a new healthier verision of myself.. <3

Girl I know how you feel. This guy that I use to be very close with (now I am in a new relationship and things are different). Anyhow suddenly he wants to be talking, texting and "hanging out" not to mention he sayd stuff like "your cute know but your going to be a knock out when you get skinny".... Excuse me??? F off! I am who I am skinny or fat! You dont like it welcome to the past! Anywho, you know what is right to do. You do what you feel inside! But they should make you feel beautiful no matter your size!! (Becuase you are!!!)

Yay for may. Got my date, may 20

I would call and ask didn't hurt and saves you the drive

Hi. Welcome. Congratulations on your decision. I am also in the preop stages, have my sleep study tonight

Yay. Good luck to you both. Happy healing

Bethann you have been such a great support for me. I just want to tell you that everything will be ok. Resubmit, they will approve you! They just have just over looked something

Congratulations. Yay

That's a yours point. Good luck. How it all falls into place

Are you done with all your tests?? I saw your waiting for your surgery date

I am doing my pre op diet. I am getting all the tests done. Right now I'm actually I'm the upper endoscope waiting room. After this i have a sleep study but waiting insurance approval... I am down 24 lbs total in one month. So excited. I am looking to have surgery in may as soon as school is over

Hello everyone. I just wanted to share my surprising news. January 22 i had my first pre op appointment and i weighed in at 369.8. Today (almost one month later) i weighed in at 345.8. That is 24 pounds in one month!!!!! Omg i am so excited. I am starting to feel the weight loss and it feels great. I am going to my upper endoscope this morning... Wishing you all luck. Happy healthy thoughts

Weird isn't always a bad thing

Well i am just doing a healthier diet. No soda or sugar drinks, no alcohol, five to nine servings of fruits and veggies. No simple carbs, high Protein, Breakfast everyday. Limit dairy. It's been pretty doable. I'm also going to the gym 2_3 times a week and wearing my bodymedia arm band

Keep your head high and eye on the prize!!

You go girls. My thoughts are with you today

Omg that's so exciting. Don't be nervous, easier said then done... Last night i dreamt about surgery.. Good luck. Your going to look fabulous in your wedding dress

I am shooting for mid may!! Send like a prefect time

When are you expecting to have surgery

I too I'm on my high Protein solid food diet and it its very hard. I have given in a fee times but when i do i try and make slightly better decisions then before. Just little steps. Do not deprive yourself during a craving our something because then if you give in later it will be worse! I saw i great quote on pinterst: one bad meal doesn't make you fat, just like one healthy meal doesn't make you skinny! Get up and do it!!!!!!! Message me for encouragement

Congratulations. So glad everything is good so far!!! Happy healing

I meet with my surgeon today and his number one thing for me to do is quit smoking. I was already planning to anyway but geeesh its do hard. Just wanted to open up to invite people too share their stories, offer encouragement and find others looking for the same support
