So I was approved for the Sleeve on January 29th after fighting my insurance company for almost 3 months. I have been in contact with my doctors office since October 28th which was my initial weigh in. Well I did good for the first month than the fighting began with CIGNA. I got so stressed out that over the holidays and until recently I gained 15 pounds since my October weigh in. I have been doing strict dieting since January 30th and actually started my liquid diet earlier than what they told me. My surgery date is February 11th and I do my "Bootcamp" this Wednesday the 6th. Have you heard of a bariatric office delaying surgery because you gained weight before? All they told me in the beginning was they would "like" to see me lose 10lbs before.

Thanks everyone! Good luck to all of you that is still in your journey and congrats to those who is finished traveling.

You can call me Sassy McSassy pants tonight.. Lol. Thank you very much sweetheart

Great job Girl! You are killing it.

Starting weight 278lbs Today I am 170!

Thank you

Girl, I eat whatever I want too and still drop. If I want a taco I eat a taco! Lol. I have lost 108lbs and find it successful as well. I mean we eat as much as a 2 year old kid., I am not beating myself up over it too. Congratulations! You look Ahhhhhmmmazing!

I am sure you will. It seems like it takes forever but it really doesn't. Good luck on your journey! My love handles are trying to stay for some reason. I guess they will be the last to go, lol.

. Lol, don't hate.. I will forgive you for putting the Blue Devils on this post

Thank you. I am getting there. Getting so close that I can taste it. Happy either way right now though

I know how everyone loves before and after/ during pictures, I sure do. First off, I would like to say that I started this journey for a baby. My husband has an extremely low sperm count and the only way for us to have a child was through IVF. I was denied because my BMI was 42.3 and I weighed 278lbs at 5' 8. I needed to be a BMI of 30 or lower before my doctor would look at me for IVF, (Invitro Fertilsazation) I am now at 27.8 at 183lbs. I don't care how much more I lose. I had a goal of 145lbs but don't care at this point. I am soooo happy at where I am, at this point. I get to start IVF in March. Unfortunately they found a Fibroid Tumor the size of a softball which will be surgically taken out on November 20th. I also don't care at this point about that tiny little obstacle on my journey. I am seeing a healthier me and a child in my future. I am not a 5/6 but a 9/10 and can't be more excited! I am happy and confident in myself and my future. To hear the little pitter patters of baby feet in my future is what makes me smile. Knowing that I can possibly have a healthy pregnancy and see my grand babies and hopefully great grand babies makes me smile I took this journey for a child but recently realized it was for myself as well.

Thanks you everyone. Very very excited about becoming a Mom one day

I went from wearing a size 20/22 in pants, 2xl in shirts to 13/14 and Large in shirts. It happens fast loves.. It feels like yesterday when I was per-op. I never pictured myself evolving so much in this little amount of time. Good luck to all of you and thank you for the compliments.

No, I haven't been online to change my ticker for a while. I guess I need to do that, lol.. I just use my app.

That would be the protein. Gotta love the smells of rotten rectum, lol. It eventually gets better

I have PCOS and my skin under my arm pits and thighs are darker.

I took off for 4 weeks just because I could and drew 90% of my paycheck. So why not milk it? lol. I could have went back after a week but to be on the safe side you may take 2 so you have a routine down.

I was down 54lbs on 5/11. I went from a 2xl in a men's tee to a Large. A size 20 in pants to a 14 275lbs from the day of surgery to 221 at 5'7.

I drink the hell out of 5 hour energies even though i have energy already. I guess I have a new addiction to making sure I am on the go continuously, lol.

You look wonderful love!
