Hi there! I had my surgery Jan 9th this year. I am down 56 pounds! 40 more to my goal. Absolutely the best thing I ever did for myself. Not only do I feel better, have a ton of energy, off all my meds but the most fun is making 2 shopping trips now to my attic and went straight to the plastic bins labled "skinny clothes"!…

Thanks girls! It certainly gives that boost of confidence needed to keep going! Sometimes the mirror plays tricks on me and it doesn't look like to me that I have lost all that much but the proof was in those plastic bins! Last summer, the wouldn't even come past my upper thighs!! I can't wait to try on the smaller ones…

I am looking foward to going to the beach and not being ashamed to put on a sundress. I am not comfortable in bathing yet but I can wear it under a cute sundress or coverup. I am very much pear shaped so because I carry my weight mostly below my waist, my arms are not saggy although my thighs will definately need some…

I only remember the day of surgery (Jan 9, 2014) being pretty rough from the gas and soreness in my surgery site but once I left the hospital, I never took any more pain meds..not even Tylenol. I was able to sip my water, broth and jello went down pretty good, and no nausea to speak of. I even joked with my surgeon on my…

Just had my surgery January 9th! Not one regret! It has been a very smooth recovery and already down 23 lbs. 11 of those were during the pre-diet phase (2 weeks Optifast). Total 23 since Dec. 26th.

Feel free to add me!! I am a fellow military wife and so very used to doing things on my own. I just had my sleeve surgery Thursday, Jan 9th! Day 1 was hard, I won't lie but day 2 was much better and gets better every day. I haven't even had tylenol since I left the hospital and I stepped on scale this morning and I hit…

I just had surgery Thursday, Jan 9th so just 2 days post op!!! I was self pay and went to seminar Nov 19th, pre-op appointments in December but I chose to start pre-op diet after the holidays since all my children were going to be home and expecting me to cook a big meal. I started pre-op liquid diet Dec 26th and here I am…
