Today is my first day back to work in the office. I worked from home last week. Surgery was on 9/10 and I took 2 weeks off. Plenty of time for me. On a bright note' date=' I had to do my wellness screening for work to get a discount on my insurance premiums and.....I went from a high BMI of 41 to a 35 today! Highest weight was 225 and today I'm 191 (34 pounds total, 19 since surgery). Yes, I'm counting every single pound gone since I started this journey a year ago!![/quote']

Woo Hoo! Way to go!!!

Hi my name is Gerry and i live in Rome Ga. My heaviest weight was 240 this summer...Im 5'2" tall. With finishing the diet and two weeks of shakes I weighed in day of surgery at 207. I came home weighing 215 due to be hydrated like a wet sponge and bow down to 203. Surgery was Sept 26 2012. I walk often cause pain is worse after eating and drinking. I eat 4 ounces every 2 hours. I hope this works.

Good job ladybug! My surgery wad the 10th, i came back to office after 2 weeks.which was probably to soon for me.they had to repair a ruptured hiatal hernia while they were in there. So i am still in a lot of pain in my belly button area. Bless those of you who are able to eat every 2 hours, i am doing good to easy twice a day....i want so badly to find my silver lining already, but have not got there yet. Day of surgery 236, today 213...= -23 lb.in 3 weeks, but i just wish i felt better to truly appreciate it....

FACEBOOK PAGE!!!!! September to Remember 2012 RNY yeah i finally did it sorry it took so long' date=' send a request as i did keep it closed for privacy reasons, you will see my husband is on there i will remove him as I had to add at least one person in order to get the group open. If for any reason anyone doesn't not want the group CLOSED i can open it. I just thought with photo stealing and unwanted advertising, plus then anyone on Facebook could post and open comments they wanted to with out joining the group.... yea.... i hope you all happy... but please dont stop coming to this forum as i still find a lot of good information. i just figured FB would be nice to get to know another and share pics and additional information in a easier format. hope you enjoy...[/quote']

So I was discharge from the hospital yesterday and honestly my pain is minimal. I have been passing a little gas, still no BM...and I can tolerate drinking a little cold with a little pain and warm liquids. I have climbed 2 flights of stairs but I'm still taking it easy....my taste buds haven't changed because I am constantly thinking of all the yummy food inventions I will create... :( bored with broths, Jello and Popsicles

      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.
