@@Seahawkgirl welcome to the family and here's your spot <patting bench> on the losers bench!

@@kranky813 - I hoped to hit this last month - been a ROUGH couple of months for me personally and to finally been in ONEderland just gives me another focus point!

@@NMFGAZ - are they repairing the hernia? I didn't have a hernia but I did fight with reflux once or twice a month but once I got my weight PRE-OP down just a bit I had no issues. Since VSG I have had no issues.

@ - I kinds hit one monthly. I am 52 and entering the big "M" and have started skipping but I still have symptoms and some mild weight gain every month - to me as a long time dieter - it is the norm:)

@@sonnysun - I am thinking TOM, not enough protein and the "stall" are all playing a factor. I have just passed a month were I lost 2lbs the scale seemed to just be stuck - then it moved me into Onederland! Hang in there and ask NUT/Dr about maybe a dose of miralax.

@@kranky813 - me too! It found me yesterday morning so I could send it off to the Halloween challenge. I actually skipped 199!!! Electronic scale had me at 197.5...I weigh - walk around, come back and weigh again...still 197.5. Which is 198 in my books! I haven't weighed below the 200's since about 2004?

@@dalaneys_mommy and @@pimmar - welcome to the family and all I can suggest is follow your doctors orders and walk, walk, walk and later sip, sip, sip.

198!!!!!! Hello ONEderland!

hourglass. I have always had big boobs and my hips are proportionate.

@@OKCPirate why the <delete> for education high school? Did I take that the wrong way? High school graduate myself and I will admit I am curious as to why that's a deal breaker. I am happily married and have worked since I graduated from high school.

congrats and welcome to the losers bench!

@@stephh - sorry I thought I had sent my weigh-in...201 :/ no change Thanks again

I concur !!!! you look great!

I think that would be fine.

in a couple of weeks this will seem like a dream........

hydrate as late as possible! your seat on the losers bench is empty and waiting for you, come on!

@@Dub - I have your seat saved little brother! welcome to the sleeved side of the WLS family.

@@anna9/15 - breathe. take your time. follow the plan. you got this:)

I loved my first meal....scrambled eggs with cheese! yum! congrats on a great visit with doctor and crossing your legs!

great thread!

Miralax - half a dose everyday or every other day and no extra iron supplements. the supplement caused a lot of "grief" for me.

@@stephh can you change my goal to 189? I would like to maybe make this in five weeks.

@@amalie1684 - great! get ready it will be here before you know it!

congrats on your date!

I had the buyers remorse when I was home first day and realized that there was no going back. my stomach was in a biohazard container somewhere and therefore gone. then I remembered why I chose the sleeve. a lifelong tool to help me get to a normal weight and hopefully never yo-yo diet again. I never looked back. it's been almost 5 months and I am rarely hungry and my weight is going in the right direction and I feel normal. I am still obese by my BMI but I feel pretty good. I am looking forward to the rest of my life as a normal weight person. no regrets!
