    Thanks for the great advice, it is welcome and appreciated. I have had many surgeries and know how important it is to get up and move...I will "show them who's boss"! Thanks for sharing all your journey. I know at times it will be hard for me, but I will be on this site every day with questions and looking for advice/encouragement from everyone. I will keep posting!

    Just wanted to say hi. Hope all is well with you. My surgery is near and I am feeling real good about my decision.

    I'm doing really good. I'm able to drink and eat (pureed) OK. The only problems I have had are gas and bloating, which was expected. The other thing is very sharp pain on my left side. I also kind of expected that also but not to this degree. I'm sure in time I will go away too.

    Hello. I will be having my surgery in just 2 days. I am also from the St. Louis area. I will be having my surgery at St. Alexius. I have been going through the NewStart program. They are really great and I have so much support. Take care.

    Happy and slowly approaching my surgery.Have to stay late at work tonight to support some other team...mostly involves sitting around waiting for email/phone calls. I'll probably surf the forum a ton. See you around!

The most embarrassing thing that just happened to ME!!!!

by Barbsm on 03-15-2013 at 12:31 PM
First of all, this is a true story. And it just happened about an hour ago. And I am still blushing. Honestly, my face is still hot as I am typing this. However, I think that you will all get a giggle out of this and be able to appreciate the humor...

I work at a big hospital. I am an IT professional so I wear dress clothes to work. I was walking down the hall with two male coworkers, walking in front of them actually, and I felt something at my feet. It was my skirt. My skirt

Shape Shifter

by Barbsm on 03-04-2013 at 02:44 PM
I just wanted to say how amazing it is to watch your body shape shift after WLS. I am 5 months post op now, and I started out this journey in a size 24 jeans. I am now in a size 16 and I am wearing my first pair of skinny jeans since......well, ever!!! And I am shortly going to need to go down another size as well. It is amazing what this surgery has done for my body, my health, my mind and my self-confidence. I feel healthy and strong and well, pretty I guess. Feels funny saying that, but

Broke my Stall!

by Barbsm on 01-31-2013 at 09:47 AM
I have been stalled out for about a month. I was being lazy, gliding for a while and got careless about my protein intake and diet. I hit it hard again beginning last weekend, back to protein shakes and watching my diet more closely, and I am thrilled to say that I am down 5 more pounds today. I play this mind game with myself where I am determined not to be a scale-watcher, but I monitor my progress in the way my clothes fit. I did however get on the scale this morning and VIOLA!!! I could

Hi everybody! I have been posting on this site for a week or so and figured it might be time to introduce myself. My name is Suzette, and I am a busy mother of two teenagers and I work full time.

I have been overweight and struggling with obesity my entire life from about age 10 and on. Did all the diets, the exercise programs, starvation - you name it, I tried
