its time for me

Im so happy for you!! Now its your time to shine.

Hi how are you? How you feeling? Hope things are going well for you.

Ok so today was my first post op appointment with my surgeon. It went well. Dr said Im healing just fine. And I had mentioned that i was getting discouraged and he looked at me and said.... Are you crazy, when was the last time you lost 15 lbs in 2 weeks. I started to laugh and he did too. Dr reassured me I am right on track. Right where Im suppose to be. So just wanted to thank everyone for the support. Its my time to shine and no one will stop me. Good luck to all bariatric friends. We have to stick together. We all can do this.

Thank you ladies so very much. You are true family. I agree you couldnt have said it better. You girls are helping me a whole lot thru this. I seem to be having more bad days then good. But again 2 weeks is really new. Your pictures are so inspiring to me. Just knowing one day i will post pics like that and feel great makes me happy and excited. How are you ladies doing?

Omg.. Im so happy and excited for. You go girl. Your going to do great things. Stay positive and good luck. Take it easy. My kids said the same thing to me. They were just scared at the fact of surgery. I was too. But its over and niw Im 2 weeks 4 days post op. And they see a change but I dont yet. Its a wonderful tool for us. We got this. You got this. Stay strong my friend. Remember its your time to shine honey.

Your fabulous. Such an inspiration. Im happy for you. My Dr said do not drink protien. They want me to eat my protien. ???? I guess everyone is different. Im going to try my best.

Yes Protien. But really, I can not eat that much. 1/4 of a cup just is insane. Its doesnt seem like alot but when I try I cant do it. Im trying my best and I guess thats what we all have to do. Friday is my first post op appointment so when he gives me the go ahead to start working out. Im deffinately heading to boot camp. Lol.

I try not to be so hard on myself. Its just seeing others losing fast and im not. Friday the 13 is my appointment. I will keep you all posted. Thank you for the support. I need all I can get.

First off.. Im so happy and excited for you. Nervous, yes that will happen. I chickened out the first time, had I didnt, I would be a year post op and feeling great. But my nerves got to me and I said : no more its time for me. I can do this. Its two weeks and 3days so far for me. Losing weight slowly but surely. Your going to do great and think, youll walk in that operationg room, lay down close your eyes then in seconds youll wake up. And its over. Ugh; i was such a sissy. You can do this, you will do this, you will feel 101% better if not more. I appaude you. Congratulations.

Ya probably. Lol. My hopes and dreams of becoming in single digits is hard to come by. I have friends and family that had the same procedure done and lost twice as much as i did at two weeks. So with that said i call my Dr and called the dietition and both said it was much healthier to lose it slow rather then fast pace. My Dr also said that the ones that do loose slowly tend to have skin form back alot better then others who are fast pace. Idk. But I guess I just wanted the quick fix. Do you know what I mean? Lol. Ill take it day by day and be thankful that 14 pounds is alot. Considering I couldnt have done that on my own. Lol... How are you doing?

Thank you for responding back to me. Yes Ive weighted myself and only lost 14 pounds in two weeks. I try not to weight myself because i get frustrated. Lol. Yes others around me see a difference but i dont. About nausea, have them give you Carafate. They should of gave it to you before you left the hospital. Its for that reason. Let me know how things are for you.

I wish you all the luck in the world. Its a big step we take. Congratulations.

Hi my name Dawn or D. I had surgery March 26. I was so scared and nervous at the same time. I almost didnt go threw with it. But I did. It was like I closed and opened them back up. Then thought to myself, its done already. Thank God. Im doing ok for the most part. I think whats bothering me is I dont see a change yet. Granted its only Two weeks, but I have friends that also had it done and lost fast. Ok so whats wrong with me. I go to my first post op appointment next week. Lets see what he has to say. Im getting a little discourged. Yikes

Im two weeks post op. I dont see a change yet. Im getting a little discourged about the discision i made. What do you think?
