If you haven't already, try putting on some of your clothes you wore this time last year. At 70 lbs down, I bet they'll be falling of you. Go to the mall or something & just try on clothes 3 or 4 sizes smaller than pre-op. You'd be pleasantly surprised.

I lost over 200 5-6 years ago and couldn't see it. I didn't was my head around it and I think it is why I gained it all back. I decided this time that I WILL go to a counselor for help with that. Obviously you've lost it so its time to SEE that you have. Good luck, maybe it is time to see a counselor too. Talk to your surgeon's office they certainly have a list of counselors that are familiar with issues bariatric patients face. I know mine did.

Full Very FAST and at 5 months out I have NOT even been Hungry yet!!!! Be careful cause one bite to much and YOU are Stuffed like a Thanksgiving Trukey!!!

Good morning- I'm so excited for you. Some people just need more time. It sounds like your ready to go home. Until you get discharged rest/relax. Your new life is right outside your door. Go get it!

Yes, keep up the GREAT WORK and walk walk walk walk!

Well keep up the good work. Hopefully you'll be home tomorrow with your kids. It gets easier day by day.

Dont worry about your family and friends. This is the time to take care of you! My kids and a lot of their friends were generally upset that I could even think of doing this surgery. That I was fine the way I was. But now they see me they are happy that I did this for me and only for me. The friends you may lose were really not your friends to begin with. My daughter laughs that I'm now such a cheap date. With my 3 bites of food I really rack up the bill. Lol. I'm driving my friend to her surgery monday morning. Just remember your doing this for you and you are the most important person in the world.

I started at 230. I have about 25 lbs to go. The hardest thing is my brain has not caught up to my body size yet. Its still hard for me to see the amount of weight loss I've had. Who Is doing your surgery and do you have a date scheduled?

Hi , I buy Fage plain greek yogurt ( 20 grams Protein per container) and mix a fruit flavored greek yogurt usually about 14-16 grams of protein. Do that just twice a day and you will almost hit your daily amount of protein. Also soy nuts taste great and one cup is about 36 grams of protein. salad with Beans of any kind, cottage cheese, cubed cheese, tofu. Read labels and experiment with different combinations. I was not a Protein Drink fan but there are flavorless protein powders you can add to anything . Good luck

I would check with your doctor again. Tsh blood tests are backwards. When the number is low your level is high( hyperthyroid) you are getting to much thyroid they usually decrease your dose. When your level is high you are not getting enough thyroid( hypothyroid) and then they increase your dose. Hypothyroid can cause weight gain, hyperthyroid weight loss. Both can make you tired.

I was following a young Hispanic guy then he got a restraining order...... Who knew watching ppl sleep was a bad thing yeesh. Lol

Hi I'm in Boise. Was sleeved on Jan 29 by Dr. Oakley. I highly recommended him. I have 6 other friends who have used him. I'm 36 lbs down and falling daily.
