hi all. I have not checked in for awhile, but im doing pretty good. I had surgery in july and started at 537 and am now at 340. I have so far to go still, I keep hitting stalls and it drives me nuts. I would like to chat with anyone that has any suggestions. you can add me on facebook if you like Jennifer Phillips Magnusson is my name there. look forward to hearing from ya

@@joesiron7 hey joe doing good. I have to go and see Dr again on the 26th. just for a check up. i have losr 126 so far and feeling alot better. hope things are going well for everyone.

sorry i havent been on lately. I did have a stricture and they stretched it back out a little. Doing a lot better now. I had some crazy heart rhythms when i was waking up from EGD so i had to stay over night and now have to see a cardio doc. But other than that doing well. Thanks for checking on me

glad to hear things are going well for ya, i have hit a snag. I have to have a EGD done on friday and possible dilation of my sleeve. They think i have a stricture. I have not been able to keep much down. Hoping things go well and i get back on the losing journey.

Hi there I had surgery on july 22 this year have had very little issues following surgery felt good no prob. Except some very bad nausea. It started getting better and then now for the last 2 weeks I have been waking up every day with nausea and a crampy feeling in my stomach. Some days it goes away other days last the whole day and I throw up everything I eat. Not sure if this is a "normal" thing or if I should be concerned. Sorry for the long post please let me know what this sounds like to any of the vets here. Thanks in advance

Ya I think that is half my prob I am a Rn and I think oh I will be fine its prob just this or this and I guess I'm used to downplaying my symptoms. I calling doc tomorrow and I will let ya'll know what they say. Thanks for responding

Thanks and I was kinda figured that but just wanted to ask and see

Hey all haven't heard from ya how are things going?

Woowooo. Go sophie!! I'm so excited for the journey I am on. Hoping I can keep things going this way.

i worry about this also, would love to have any children i can.

i work in health care and i know that we are not allowed to make anyone take something they dont agree to. Now with that being said, i was not told i had to take birth control, i was just told that my husband and i needed to take measure to prevent pregnancy from taking place, so i took that to mean wearing condoms of which other forms people may use. I have not been able to get pregnant so i was pretty against taking the pill but when i stopped and thought about it, i knew that i would not be healthy enough early on to have a baby and make sure i did everything to ensure a healthy pregnancy. I hope that you are able to continue on with your surgery and that you can find a solution that works for you.

Oh my goodness 100 pounds gone

Get to go back to work tomorrow. Kind of nervous about making sure I get my water and protein in. I used to only eat at lunch and have a drink at that time and not again till I got home after 12 hrs. Hoping things go well. I'm going to weigh tomorrow also. So here's hoping for a loss.

I have an easier time on the computer than my phone

dave your pics are truly awe inspiring, i only hope to do as well as you. It is amazing to see every bodies transformations.

if anyone is still wanting in the fb group add me on fb jennifer phillips magnusson- and send me a message please so i know you want added thanks

thanks all, i really could not believe it when i seen those numbers. i really hope to keep up with these losses. And cathy im sorry your doc was discouraging to you. I sometimes dont think that they actually think before they say things. mine today constantly reminded me that i have "Alot farther to go and its up to you" i was thinking yes I know but are you at least glad for what I had done. Just keep pluggin along is what i am gonna do.

had my first post-op visit. And as of today I have lost 93 pounds. its so crazy to me that in less than 3 months i have lost this much already. and its not only the numbers on the scale. today i got my seat belt on without an extender. I just find there are so many small things that i can do now that people usually take for granted.

Been feeling pretty good. Getting my liquids in. No I still have my gallbladder. I have some rumbling through my stomach after I drink anything. I feel ready for some thicker foods like yogurt but can't have that till next week. My pain has been minimal but I did do to much yesterday and had to take some pain meds. But much better than I thought it would be.

@@joesiron7 my husband said maybe an hour or so. and that was mainly because i had to have central line placed and they had a hard time getting it in.

Update. Had a rough night the day of surgery. Severe nausea and retching. The next day and today have been better. Eating my popsicles and sip sip sip.

So tomorrow 9 am my life will be forever changed. I have learned a lot already but can't wait to really start living the sleeved way of life. Keep me in your prayers please. And I have to have a central line bc I am a horrible iv stick. They never can get me.

Awesome job! Keep up the good work. I have surgery tomorrow and am getting nervous. And then excited. Can't wait to be reaching goals.
