  1. Hi Darria how did everything go? I'm home and doing better then I thought I would be. Still it was a painful experience. Let me know when you're up to it.

    Best wishes! Don't forget to grab as many of those little 1 oz cups you'll get when they bring ice and water, great for home use! You're going to rock this!
  3. Hi Darria 5 days before my surgery and very nervous. Excited but nervous as well. I just want to get it over with. I'm not worried about pain just want to wake up and see my kids again!
  4. I will find out tomorrow if I am approved for my surgery!! I'm so excited but very nervous at the same time. I know I can do this. My husband is totally supportive as is my family. Hoping to have my surgery in January. Any one else planning their surgery next month?

New before and after photos 7 months post surgery!

by Darrla on 08-26-2015 at 08:26 PM
I posted some before and after photos under My Profile section. My surgery was 7 months ago and I've lost 64 pounds! I have recently started C25K and I'm on Week 4. I never would have guessed in a million years that I could jog for 16 minutes in a 30 minute period! I'm still in shock! I'd still like to lose 20-30 more pounds. I hope to reach my goal by my one year anniversary. This is the best decision I ever made! If you are undecided or nervous about having this surgery, don't put it off! You

5 Months out....

by Darrla on 06-21-2015 at 05:58 PM
So June 21 marks 5 months post op for me and I have lost 57 pounds. I have about 27 more pounds to go to reach the goal I have set for myself. I'm not sure if that will be my final goal but I figured I'd start with that. I'm fairly tall at 5'8" and my first goal is 170. I'm not sure my doctor gave me any specific goal, but I'm planning to ask him on my 6 month post op visit next month.

My PCP did some routine blood work and my A1C was in the normal range of 6.0, down from 6.8

Three months post op and I'm feeling great!

by Darrla on 05-06-2015 at 10:34 PM
My three month post is a little late! My surgery was 1-21-15, so my 3 month anniversary was actually a couple weeks ago. At that time, 4-21, I had lost 46 pounds!! I'm at -49 pounds today and things are going great! I have learned to like/tolerate my ONE protein shake per day. I drink the Premier Shakes from Costco with 30 grams of protein and I usually have a Greek yogurt with 12-13 grams of protein at lunch. The rest of the day I have some nuts or cheese as a snack and some type of meet for dinner

2 months post op and still doing great!

by Darrla on 03-22-2015 at 05:36 PM
So it's been 2 months since my gastric sleeve surgery and I've lost 37 pounds. I've experienced my share of stalls and feel that I'm not losing as fast as others but it's my journey and I try not to compare with others.

The good - my clothes are fitting so much better and I can go shopping in my closet for like-new clothes that I haven't worn in a while! I'm feeling better energy-wise, although not as much energy as I thought I would have after losing almost 40 pounds. I'm tolerating

Holy crap!

by Darrla on 03-05-2015 at 08:46 PM
My surgery was 6 weeks ago, and to say I was getting discouraged is an understatement! I was only losing 1 pound here and there for the past 4 weeks, so I really only had one good week of quick weight loss (which is what we all are hoping for!) Finally, I said on my last post, that I was about done with the whole thing and decided I would just get on with my life. And what the hell...... I've lost a pound a day for the past 4 days!! Now I really don't expect this to continue at this rate, and maybe
