I was sleeved on August 24th. I wanted to share a video that a local TV station did about me. I am a singer/songwriter and they wanted to do a piece about my music. We started talking about my surgery and the impact it had on me. Hope you enjoy it!!!

Went from a size 18/20 3x to a small/6 I feel fantastic, sometimes I can't belive it, my daughter weighs 58lbs and when I pick her up and try to walk with her I think to my self I walked around with this weight in me!! Good luck to everyone and keep up the good work! It truly is worth it!!!

my surgery was 8/30... started at 272... I hit normal BMI (160pounds) at 10 months, 1 week.... Im aiming for my 2nd goal of 140 pounds now.

I had a platic srgery consult recently... was told between my thoughs & belly, I have 5-10 pounds of excess skin. so getting rid of that should help some towards my final goal...

I don't know what I want to do. My surgiversary is August 17th... It is amazing how fast the year went by. I know I should have lost more but 100+# feels pretty good today! Hope my doc feels the same on my year visit;-)

I haven't figured out what I'm going to do. I was hoping to be down 100 by then but I am so happy with the 92 so far. I'm not ready for new clothes yet. I'm thinking maybe I'll try to walk/jog a 5k next month.

I am going to put myself on a strict Protein Shake diet until the 24th.thats my one year surgiversary. So I will be starting as soon as I'm able to grocery shop and buy my shakes. Which will be in a couple days. I've been ranging between134-138lbs with Water weight. I want to get down to 130 now so I won't die every time I get close to 140 because of water weight.

I was sleeved on 8/5 . I haven't lost too much and I know I have been eating too much and the wrong foods. I was going out to eat like before surgery . Not eating as much but would have egg drop Soup 4 shrimp a bite of an egg roll ect. Another day 4 spare ribs and 3 waffle fries. Now I see iv only lost 21 pds and 4 weeks out. In my mind I was saying if I chew it really well it is considered mushy food. -Not - Starting tomorrow I will be back on track and had this for a reason. Not sure why I do this to myself. Tomorrow will be a better day.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
