Congrats! Your success is motivating!

Hey there , I have a 9 yr old and 4 yr old. I told my kids that I am having surgery to help my body lose all this extra weight so I can be healthy and help them be healthy too and be more active and not in pain anymore. My 9 yr old gets it but my 4 yr old wont until I'm gone for 2 days.

This is awesome mine is set for July 22. Good luck and we should keep in touch.

I have my surgery 7/22 and I have been on a 5 small meals a day with protein in each eating plan and I have been finding myself super hungry at night and some nights I can handle it other nights I fail and eat like I haven't eaten all day! It's so frustrating because ill be successful all day and then BAM I sabotage myself! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I really need to get this under control!

Thank you so much for suggestions worked yesterday and I know it's going to work tonight cause I'm just sitting down for dinner! Brushing my teeth helped too which was another suggestion someone gave me! The tea really helped too!

Thanks Miss_cee85 that is a really good idea, I've been so programmed to make sure i ate as soon as i got up whether i was hungry or not. I was considering have a protein shake when i started feeling hungry too.

Good luck! Prayers coming your ways!

Thank you so much for sharing! You are making this step to be a better you! Weight doesn't matter what matters is how much healthier you will feel if its 100 or 300 lbs you lose! Good luck on your journey and stay positive! And everyone always tells me take it one day at a time!

Oh my name is Crystal and I'm from Illinois near Chicago.

I'm July 22nd and feeling so anxious right now! Im even counting the days 53 to go! I wish it was here already !

Good luck and praying for a quick recovery!

Awesome it's nice to have someone with me on the same date!

I have been approved and my surgery has been set July 22nd . I am waiting only because that is when I'll have help at home for the first week. I'm new to VS talk and really excited to learn and be taught things. I started my journey at 318 lbs on Dec 10th and today I'm at 304. I am eating healthy and exercising when I can and am not in pain. I have been having hip and knee problems and have been having a hard time getting around.

You look great , be proud of your accomplishments, your beautiful!

Congratulations! So excited for you!

So glad your doing well! Great to hear!

I have been debating on WLS for over 10 yrs , at first I wanted gastric bypass then about a month after I started working with a clinic a friend of my friends died from complications and I felt it was a sign and decided to do the surgery. Then after I had my kids I was considering lap band and went into my first appt wanting that . Then I attended my seminar and just felt really uneasy about lap band an heard about the sleeve and knew it was the right choice for me! I prefer the sleeve because it is taking away the hormone ghrelin which causes you to crave food and the fact that it doesn't cause vitamin deficiency.
