Wow! That's amazing! Congratulations!! I can't wait to have a success story like yours. I've been over weight my whole life. I was never "the skinny girl" and I never thought I'd be healthy. I'm so excited that I have this opportunity to do this.

Do you have any scars from the surgery?

you'll love it! It helps having awesome support groups, especially people your own age. I have some scars, just where they did the incisions. They heal over time, and unless you know what to look for, you can barely see them. I haven't worried too much about preventative measures because I know eventually I'll have to have excess skin removed anyway.

Yep, still pre op! My dr appt and psych evaluation is next week, then my education class is on the 26th. My surgery should be scheduled shortly after that, and since I'm self pay and I don't have to deal with insurance it should be scheduled quick. I'm guessing mid April! :)

:) I think you guys will like the sleeve. Had mine on Feb 24th. I lost 10 lbs on pre-op diet and I lost 12 lbs my first week. I am trying not to weigh myself everyday because it's so exciting. Lol but I know I have lost a ton more since then

Such a great job @@wwled! Awesome! I'm panicking waiting to hear back if I've been approved today makes 2 weeks that I haven't heard back from my doctor- am calling to see where I stand hoping my sleeve surgery will take place April sometime - started the progress in September (feels like 4ever ago!) I've always been happy in my skin as the big girl of the group but have longed to go "off the rack" shopping with my size 4 girlfriends! Now I know I won't be that small but I'm so excited for this next chapter in my life and hitting the racks! ????????????

Keep up the great work! ????

I'm just starting out on my journey. I'm 28 and have decided I can not spend my 30's like I have my 20's. Valuable youth was wasted on staying in while all my "skinny" friends went shopping and for fun nights out. But more than that I have a 3 year old daughter who is autistic and she is my world. I want to be able to run, jump, and play with her. So here I am. I'm on this and other sites non stop gathering info. I'm also totally being a creeper in Instagram ( I've prob started fallowing half of you already!)?i love see how everyone is doing and how much their life is improved. Makes this major decision a bit easier! My IG is. lei_mua. :)

I totally agree with you! I am 27 and I don't want to spend the rest of my life, I spent the past years-- on a yoyo diet. Not what I call an enjoyable life! Looking forward to new experiences that I won't have to worry about if I will "fit" on the chairs or what will I look like!

      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.
