    Good Morning!!! Haven't been here in a while and wanted to check in on you and your progress. My mom got sleeved Thursday and I am so excited about her journey and future life of health. Just know that you and many others here were a great support to me and I am thinking of you.

    Well when you are starving from no calories it is hard to lose since your body is conserving!

    Why thank you so much for noticing. I feel great. That photo was taken two weeks ago in the Dominican Republic.

    Char, in the hospital they put pain meds and anti nausea meds in my IV drip regularly. When I no longer had the IV in, and took me to the hotel, they had prescription medicine for me in a bag. Tell her to please not worry. They will take good care of her and she will be absolutely safe.

    I am not sure if I would go out of the country. I know that many have had great results, but I know with my luck.. I would probably have tons of complications and it would bankrupt me. LOL... So, I will just stay here in the good ole USA and go bankrupt on stupid crap and not because of surgery in mexico. ha ha ha

    I am sooo ready to get this done and lose some of this ugly fat, before the summer. I will be thrilled if I can get below 2 hundred by June.

    Hey Char! How are you? I'm doing good. I feel the weightloss has been really slow, but steady... I usually stay the same all week day long and then drop 2-3 pounds over the weekend. I think it's because I eat more during the weekend and thus have more fuel with which to burn. That's just my guess. Lol. I'm okay with losing slowly - I'm hoping it will help limit the hair loss. To be honest, I haven't worked out. I try to take a long walk a couple times a week, but that doesn't even always happen. I'm sure I could lose more quickly if I exercised and eventually I will start. Right now things are just crazy. We are in the middle of house hunting, I'm starting a new job on Monday and my kids always keep me busy... Not good enough reasons though and I know I could find time if I was more determined. I gotta try more! But as of this morning, I'm 194 and super happy about it.

Feeling ready!

by char602 on 02-14-2015 at 03:55 PM
I'm feeling mentally and physically ready for surgery.

I've been working out 5 days a week, including Zumba, MixxedFit and Barre classes. In addition, I've started running 2 miles 3 days a week. I've been drinking Protein Shakes and logging everything in MyFitness Pal (Charletta3). I've joined a few challenges with friends on line (currently a planking challenge & a couch25k type program). I've built up a great support system online and even been in contact with some local folks

Holy Dantana Batman- I moved my date up

by char602 on 09-05-2014 at 11:48 PM
Things seem to be moving really fast. I am so excited and scared at the same time.

I asked my doctor to refer me for surgery on August 5th, which she did. Was immediately turned down because my BMI is 35, and my co-morbidities aren't serious enough (sleep apnea and blood pressure so high its landed me in the ER 3x). I filed an appeal right away with my doctor advocating for me. Out of desperation I started researching self pay options and found this community very early on in my

Why am I here?

by char602 on 08-19-2014 at 10:34 AM
Like many people on this board, I haven't always been heavy. I used to be very athletic and was known in my group of friends for having the 'athlete's body'. Fast forward and 4 kids, and a 13 year violent marriage and here I am.

I gained most of my excess weight when I had my 3rd child. 7 Years ago I left my abusive husband, and spent some time tending to my mental and physical wounds. I was at my highest weight (235) and I was sick of it. In 2010 I went on this insane fitness kick
