Happy anniversary guys!! I am so excited to say that I hit my goal weight and lost 123 pounds! My starting weight 245 Today 122! So thrilled to have done this!

Lifting weights is awesome I actually didn't start till about 6 months after surgery....my weight stalled so I had to get serious about exercise and weights is just part of my new routine now if I don't workout I feel weird!! Good look and embrace the burn! 103 lbs down since September 8, of 2014

That is just inspirational!!

Hey guys been so long since I checked in..,.i also hit a wall after losing 70 pounds....I have about 45 more to go and it just stopped...no one wants to stall but this just seemed wrong especially after I had just stepped up my workout which I really haven't had to do much of that up to this point..... Needless to say the next week I kept track of what I was putting in and was shocked with how little protein I was consuming!! So I amped it up and amped up my workouts got a fit bit buddy and was in a challenge and busted right through my stall!! And won the fit bit challenge all this to say. I'm down 3.5 more pounds this week and stalls stink but they really help you re evaluate what your putting in and how much you need to put out Keep it up September sleevers! Glad to find our group again!! Love seeing all the pics too Starting weight 240 Current weight 167.5

My doctor told me daily...,but I prefer weekly...I pick one day a week and make that my weight day...I think after I hit my goal weight I will check it daily to keep tabs that I don't slip up

I was sleeved also in September...8, 2014 Going through a stall now..starting weight 240 Current weight 170 So mad....plus it was my first week to exercise really hard!!!! I worked out everyday running...lifting weights the body sculpt class...I was a machine. To Jump on that scale and see no movement was maddening!!! I'm determined to get this last 45 off so am open to any and all suggestions...I will def be shaking things up....I knew this last set of weight was not going to want to come off but that option isn't on the table....your post made me feel like I wasn't alone in this and since we share the same month of being sleeved it truly encouraged me So thanks for posting????

Halloweenbaby, I've been feeling that same exact way today. 5 days out as well from surgery This liquid thing is for the birds!! I went to Jason's deli tonight with the fam and ordered a cup of chicken noodle soup!!! Only had the broth but felt like a human being again!! Just gave me a pep in my step....it was thicker than the bouillon and broth and I did feel better not so down and out. Afterwards I went to grocery store and bought every soup on shelf. Hang in there don't give up Im right there with u

Ok I had my first protein shake this morning and it really made me feel better. Granted I haven't finished it yet...but I'm working on it. Had some chicken bouillon and water is now my new favorite.... Feeling better and better everyday....anybody have any tips in how to get the Liquid Tylenol with codeine down, it just tastes horrible!

Sleeve excited, I totally had same experience so my sweet husband went out and got me this wedged pillow at the relax the back store. I'm pretty sure they are at bed bath and beyond as well. I just got done taking a fabulous nap'

Bebeandkoko, I am with you I'm at home and feel super rotten I'm hoping I feel better soon. Just like you very hard to sleep the meds they gave me I hate...feeling absolutely awful. Praying this part passes soon. All the best

I hope you feel better soon. I'm just 13 days away from mine. Just got home and in pretty good amount of painNot feeling great! Hoping these next few days fly by quickly and I can be normal again.

Hi Halloweenbaby24, Honestly not that great...the pain med they sent me home with tastes nasty. I'm having trouble sleeping but I know that this too will pass. I threw up too and have bad nausea. It's pretty yuck. Just working on keeping my liquids down. Thanks for checking in! How are you feeling? I know you wrote you were in pain. It's a weird kind of pain isn't it?

Just got home from hospital...it feels so good to be home. The IV was my biggest nuisance and of course the constant blood draws and iv meds...I'm not a good patient. So glad to hear all these good reports!

What encouraging updates to hear thanks guys! That is so nice to read right before I fall asleep!! Good night and may God Bless each and everyone of you!

Will be praying for you all! Let's do this!

I'm in. I'm 34 Dallas girl. Laying in bed with a horrible headache due to this laxative drink I had to drink...yuck!! I've got 5 kids so been prepping more for them than me...still need to get my bag for hospital together.. I did buy a blanket last night for the hospital...(weird?!@) and think once I feel a little better will make a run to target for a couple other items...anything special your bringing? My surgery is at 9 when's yours

Is anyone here supposed to take laxative drink. I just had it and with in 20 mins I'm feeling super nauseated....yuck!

Heather Marie....I'm at nine am also! Im ready and start liquid diet tomorrow. Today's been super emotionally for me...is anyone else weepy?? I'm not sure what's wrong with me...I'm normally not a crier but today's been rough.

I start my pre op diet tomorrow as well. I'm glad to hear others are doing so well on it! I hate to even admit how emotional I have been today! Just a lot of stuff going through my head. Talked with my doc yesterday over the phone and I am number 2 on the list Monday morning! Praying that everyone's weekend flies bye and we all have fabulous surgeries

I'm not on liquids till Saturday and Sunday.... Y'all keep up the good work everyone's post are encouraging and making me realize that it's not that bad....

Shauna29, I am so sad to here this!! Definitely saying a prayer for you this morning! Don't lose hope...thinking about you!

I'm with you woo woo!! I'm so ready to be on my way with this party!! Just realized that this time next week I will probably be freaking out though.... food funeral was Jason's deli? Seriously kinda boring I like the sound of my Tyler girls meal sounds way more fun

I'm also the sep the 8 and strangely feel the same way you do about it....maybe it's a coping mechanism so we don't freak out...lol! All I know is it's happening and it's going to rock my world and I don't think anyone can really prepare for what's to come....you can try but really it's all about relaxing and just going with it I find the more I think about it the more I want to emotionally eat
