HW 257 CW 201 By Thanksgiving 189

Hi all, I was sleeved on August 21. Everything went extremely well. Had two hours of gas pain and that was it! Having said that I am still on full liquids and have only lost 11 pounds. Getting very discouraged. What is they didn't take enough out?

Just wanted to give an update. I had my surgery this morning at 8:00. I never thought this would happen to me but I am one of those people who keeps asking if they really did the surgery as I feel amazing! Just wonder if anyone else could share their experiences with feeling great and whether it continued or if reality set it.

Hello All, I have been stalking you all since November and am finally ready to actively join this wonderful group! Your stories are so inspirational and I can't wait to start posting my own. I won't go into a long drawn out story of my struggles with weight because from here on out I only want to look forward! I started my two week pre-op diet on August 7th and am scheduled for surgery on August 21st. It has been a really rocky road with lots of hoops and let downs since November but I am finally letting myself believe this is really going to happen for me. I started the summer at 257 and was not given a date until I got back down to 243 which was what I weighed in November. Hoping to get to the low 230's by the big day! I WANT MY LIFE BACK! I have been hiding behind my weight for so long that a lot of people in my life don't even know the real ME! I am so excited what this surgery is going to do for me but also my relationships with my husband and beautiful children. They deserve to have a happy wife and mommy and I have not been for many years!!!!!!! I will keep you all posted and thanks for letting me join!!!!!!!! ±±±
