I've lost 123 pounds since surgery as of last week. haven't checked this week. I went to my 6 month check up on Monday and it says I was two more pounds lighter but I am counting when I am in normal work clothes since that is when I weigh myself.

I had mine this Feb 9th with Atkinson

It does but sometimes I want to actually be at a support meeting to meet people who are local to me.

interesting, I'm going to have to check my bars.

You will do fine, I was a little scared before my surgery since I never had a surgery before but it was over before I knew it. Slight pain from gas after but mainly just tired and sore. I think it is normal for any surgery to be a little scared.

what questions do you have now?

@@*Lexie* great progress!

I tried to see if it was possible to go to Blossom's support group and they told me no because I'm not a patient of theirs. That sucks, the one my doctor has is on the days I work and can't change my schedule.

I still have a couple cans of chicken broth as well. I agree with others, don't stock up until after surgery. Then only taste them before you buy so you don't waste your money.

I wish I would of had food funerals, it would have made it easier.

great progress!

you look great, beautiful smile too. keep up the good work!

@@stuart85 yeah being a big guy on dating sites is not easy.

I got some ways to go myself, definitely going to need plastics.

I have been searching for my fellow Nevada peeps! lol glad I found this post. Is there a local group? my work hours never allow me to get to the support group Atkinson has so I'm left with forums. would be great to connect with others in my area.

I had my surgery with Atkinson too!

@@FortKnox78 congrats!

@@Tssiemer1 there is! I just seen it. I think I will find the rest of my big clothes then take some pics. If I can help someone else out on here then great, if no takers then goodwill it will be.

@@CanyonBaby Thank you! In that pic I was trying on new clothes at the big and tall. Can't wait until I don't have to shop there anymore!

@@jess9395 That's another reason to get rid of them, I have no space for extra clothes.

@@losingMari you got this! A week earlier just means your gonna lose weight a week sooner! You got lots of supporters on here.

I just bought Quest chocolate protein powder and I don't like it. lol just thought I'd share.

Dating is not something I know much of, I have been in two relationships and they were women I met at work. Never went on dates with but relationship just happened. So I have no clue how to date. Now that I am wanting to date, I find myself not knowing what to put on my online profile and what to say to a woman either. For now I just see someone I am interested in and send a quick hello with some sort of comment on their profile. No responses yet so don't know how good that advice is. lol

@@Elode thank you, next wally world trip I gotta find it.

@@honeybunz thank you! I am gonna have to get some.
