February 2012 Surgery Dates- Who's Ready?

[Malyss 31]

The month is definitely flying by. I just had my PAT this morning. I don't trust the hospital's scales and I'm looking forward to getting back on my doctor's scales at some point. The hospital's scale had me down from 350lbs to 321lbs. I've definitely lost some weight on the pre op diet, but I doubt that I've lost that much.

my diet consisted of one Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch then dinner lean meat salad with light dressing.... so I would get pieces of chicken breast during the day so I wouldnt be real hungry and fruit .... then one day I just ate a burger and fries from burger street...i felt sick too ...... but I havent cheated for the last couple of days I have been trying to do right its been hard thou

When is your surgery? How are you feeling? Who's your doc? My surgery date is 2/13/12 and I fluctuate from ready to go' date=' to really nervous. I'm traveling to Texas to Dr. David Kim. Anyone else using him? <img src='http://cdn.verticalsleevetalk.com//public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/animated_smilies/welcome.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':welcome:' />[/quote']

Dr. Kim did my surgery. I just had it on the 23rd. I am ready for the journey.

Had my surgery on 2/2/2012. No problems recovering but am a bit down now that I am 4 weeks out. Weight loss has slowed down to nothing. Anyone having this difficulty? How about a word of encouragement? Keep going everyone. No turning back!

Same here ! Losing slow or stopping here n there but I exspected it since I was a lower BMI but I guess that's better than not at all or losing 30 and gaining back 35 and never getting even close to what I want to weigh like I have the past 17 yrs. I guess slow n steady wins the race right????

You only have 15% of your original stomach (approximately). It can't NOT happen if you're being a good girl!! Just be patient. Avoid sliders, drink your Water, do your exercising ...it WILL happen!!
