I have been to the support groups at my local hospital but I feel like everyone already knows each other so they don't pay attention to the newbies ;(.. so if your a az sleever let me know love to chat

I think it would be great for us all to meet up sleevers and soon to be ones. Sleep study hahaha that was a horrible uncomfortable experience for me lol good luck you'll do great

Azjanie are you excited how are you doing what's Ur starting weight if you need anything let me know

Ya Dr Chen did great well he said he did great because I did great I am now 265 starting weight was 292 feels great. And mine was at banner gateway lol so many banners LOL. We should all go to a support group together... Sept 26th is my two week post op congrats girl ill be sending good vibes your way.

My surgery isn't until the 12th of this month and I've been hearing you'll have so much extra skin and your stretch marks will stay the same... Is there anything besides coco butter that will help and the extra skin I know excersise but anything else to help with the elasticity.. thanks all and good luck

Thank you so much

I will be 2 weeks post op on thursday and i am ready and feelin good to start hitting the gym a lot and I figured some of you have maybe just had there surgery and are feeling up to working out I know I hate going to the gym alone so if you're in my area let's go together

Omg i thought i was the only one my boys will eat and make bagels and sandwhichs and im just like oooommmggg i have never cheated not even on my liquid before surgery ill be two weeks on thursday not looking forward to the puree goodluck to all

Thank you all so much, ya my family were having steak and veggies and potatoes and I was like well potatoes have the texture like baby food so why not haha but I didn't try any ill talk to my doc on my post op appointment even though by then I can eat whatever I want well you know solids lol... How is everyone feeling.

I had my surgery on the 12th I am already down 23lbs, I have a little pain but I am doing a good job. I am now on my full liquid diet. I am allowed cream soups and puddings and baby food but I was wondering am I allowed mashed creamy potatoes... My doctor was Dr Chen in az he did an amazing job he said my surgery was beyond amazing that I followed my liquid diet without a doubt. Feels good anyway just wanted to know if I could have creamy mashed potatoes. Good luck to the rest of you...

Hey everyone I'm christin, I was 291 and now I am 286 I think that's pretty good. My surgery is scheduled for the 12th of September very excited. I am crabby though haha my body is saying feed me please. This is me now and was me 7 years ago hope to this body again soon. [ATTACH]17793[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]17794[/ATTACH]

Hahaha its almost awkward haha

Happily taken for the past 10 years haha he's all yours, we were just letting him know that we see the huge success he is having.

My surgery is this month on the 12th I am so nervous but I had my preop appointment and he said I am doing great and things should go by great so that made me feel better, when is yours??

I agree, big country you look amazing keep it up

Stay positive it gets easier I'm down 11lbs now feels good my date is getting closer you'll get there and do great!! Thank you all

I understand the whole keeping it real but how you came across was like your gonna fail period point blank ppl have their moment of weakness and you saw yours before surgery happen and then you went back when you were ready maybe that's what she needs to learn all in good time and if she does fail that would be on her because she didn't do what she needed to do bit she says she is back on track and doing great that was her turning point. I get positive and negative all the time but never told I am going to fail. I am only one week into my pre op and I've already lost 9 lbs and I told the Dr I wasn't paying attention and took a bite of my soup before I strained it and I realized and strained and that was it he said your body is use to you eating and you will forget or be caught up into something and accidentally take a bite but it wasn't me failing it was me doing what I normally do and my successful part was realizing what I did and stopped and sounds like she did the same as well. You were 400 and now your in your 200 that's wonderful its healthy to be positive and to be firm but all in good ways of doing so. Good luck to all.

That's really rude to say, you don't know if she is gonna fail, everyone has their weaknesses and everyone has their strengths to flat out say someone is gonna fail is rude.

That is awesome before you know it your gonna be skinny mini haha.. ya the 2 week liquid diet is doing ok so far but its the not filling full thing so I think I am having to much tomato lol but the supplements aren't bad I take one chewable tablet multivitamin and then 4 (throughout the day) calcium chewables they are called bariatric support at hi health and really cheap a lot cheaper than buying all the supplements u need separately haha... I was 290 I am now 286 and I hope to get to 160

Hey janett, congrats on the surgery how is it coming along... I am getting mine at banner dessert hospital with Dr Chen I heard he is amazing soooo yay!!

I love food lol traveling sounds awesome.. ya in all the support groups they say its a tool atleast every five minutes haha

Thats absolutely wonderful keep it up stay strong and remember this is a tool, I haven't had surgery yet but that saying is drilled into my head hahaha
