I agree! The first one was horrible. Sat there for 30 mins, crying and sweating! It was a total cardio workout! It does get better, I'm 2 months out and still use a softener daily. Good thing is a big one shows as a 1 lb loss on the scale!!

I'm a mom, let me tell you, she is proud already. You may be a grown-up adult and I'm sure she accepts that. Please remember down deep inside her you are still her baby, the little girl she rocked, sang lullabies to,the little one she. promised herself to raise to be a good human being. She is going to be so very proud of and for you. Moms know when you hurt, sometimes before you yourself realize it. Call it Mom-Dar, call it anything you wish but it is an universal trait. She will throw her arms around you, hug you for all she's worth and maybe cry a little. But proud? Honey she will,be over the moon proud![emoji13][emoji106][emoji13]

The first progress picture I’ve come across (I’ve haven’t used the site that much ) and I felt I should leave a message to say how fantastic you’re looking.

If it ever gets cold enough to wear it...
I was going to get one last year when I got under 200 pouds but I spent so much on clothes and my weight wasn't stable I didn't get one. This year it happening. Mink or Fox.

Matt,
I am so sorry to hear this. In 2013 at the age of 47 I had 2 cardio vascular events, the 1st resulted in 2 stents inserted in my right main artery. 5 months later I started feeling the same shortness of breath, pain that started in my chest, then radiated into my jaw. I went to emergency, where after another angio-gram, I was told my left main artery was 80% blocked. They called this the 'widow maker'. I was devastated. How could this happen after only 5 months, I was so young. They did another angioplasty, and inserted 2 more stents in the left main. I was off work for a total of 9 months, did extensive cardio-rehab, and today I am 3 days post -op from RNY bypass. One of the 1st things I asked, in recovery was "did I have a heart attack?"
I understand your disappointment, but your Dr is right. Let's make your heart stronger, so you can have the best results once you do have your surgery. This is not a step back, it is just an unexpected Detour towards a new future. Wishing you nothing but the best.

OMG, everyone is doing so good !! I'm so happy for us all !!!

Great news !! The egg drop Soup sounds delish !!!

My 22 lbs included the 13 I lost in the pre-op, so it looks like we are all on target !!!

It will get better, it's true what they say, every day you feel better. Just keep sipping, hopefully that will get easier soon !! Congrats on the 12 lbs, feels pretty good!!!

You are doing great !! 10 lbs in 2 weeks is fantastic, and i'm sure the diabetes will improve. Keep it up !!

Well, I'm 2 weeks out (RNY Nov 27), feeling really good. I did have 1 episode of dumping, NOT fun, but I look at it as a learning experience. Don't go 5 hours without eating, you will eat too much ! I have been taken off all the diabetes medication, (Yay, that was a huge motivator for this whole process), and am monitoring my blood pressure. It seems consistently low, so I may be off those when I go back to the Dr in January.
I'm starting my 2nd week of pureed foods, doing well, although it is a bit boring. I am down 22 lbs as of today !! Woo Hoo !! I already feel like I'm winning !!
How are the rest of my November buddies doing?
