I found a school nurse to give them to me. In your Arm.

Thanks for the suggestion! ;) Spoke with my doc today and she said for me to take 10000mcg of my B12 daily & that would be the same as getting the shots once a month. So I will try that first. I'm only taking 50000mcg right now. Wish me luck!

Hi guys. August 10th was three month mark. So here I go with the stats:

When I decided to have surgery my weight was 289

Surgery day 275 down 14 lbs

end of June weight 253 that made 22 pounds in a few weeks

end of July weight was 244 down another 9 lbs

end of August weight 234 down another 10 lbs

September 10 weight was 229 that means I am down another 5 lbs.

Total down from surgery is 46 lbs and total weight loss is 60 lbs.

I am now 5 lbs from my half way goal. YEAH!

Way to Go!!! Keep up the good work....:-)

That is awesome you have lost 47 lbs . I completely agree I feel the same way some says and at times realize that unless you have gone through or are going through this journey you can not know what we go through with the "new me" I use the Internet for different shake ideas it really does make a difference since I can't seem to tolerate a lot of food but I'm working on it

Thanks I'm going to try that and good luck on your success. I'm so proud of us all

Congrats sister! You are doing awesome! When was your surgery date? Mine was June 24, 2013. I'm exactly 3 months out today & had my check up with my surgeon. Here are my stats.

My heaviest weight recoreded at his office was 287.5 lbs. My highest weight ever & was my "ohhhh to THE helllll no" moment was 301lbs!

Two weeks pre-op weight 282Lbs.

Day if surgery weight 273lbs.

Today I weighed in at 232.0lbs.

So, 51lbs. Since day of surgery.

Here's my pics at 287.5 in purple & todays weight 232 in black.

I've lost 38lbs of fat mass & 17lbs. of muscle mass the dietian said. I'm not really sure how they figure that one out?

That means 55lbs not 51lbs. From the "recorded" weight she wrote down. Anyone understand how they figure that out?!

I wish I could see a bigger difference in my head, but really thrilled to see the numbers going down.

Can't wait to see what the next 3 months brings us.

Continue on your success!

Congrats. ..we are almost identical. 6.25.13 surgery date 265 today 226.4

The ups and downs can drive you crazy but it's definitely worth it. I saw some parents at a fball game on Sat that were like you've lost weight and you look really good. What an awesome feeling soooo worth it...

My dr gives me a print out after I weigh and they gave me a handout that explained how all those #s are factored. It is like x*y/z= whatever. I can't find my handout, but maybe ask if they have that so you can see how those numbers are figured out. I can ask for one when I go for my 6 months (Jan) and put it on here if you don't get anything from your dr by then. :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
