    Smile Approved!

    This is actually happening....TOMORROW! Really excited and trying to remain positive (& do my best to squash the fear!) I have not purchased vitamins as of yet or the unflavored protein powder (what are your favs?). Hoping that my premier protein shakes, sugar free jello, and broth will be enough for the first couple of weeks.
    GOODBYE fat ass, 50 year old 'baby fat' I never lost, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, poor self esteem due to obesity. I welcome this new way of living, eating, breathing - and of course I cannot wait to look and feel amazing! I'm ready to do the work.
    Please send positive vibes and energy. Thanks!

    Congrats....and big thumbs up - you will be pleasantly surprised after the initial shock of surgery. I use NOW Soy Protein Isolate - not sure I would call it a "fave" - but it does the job - plenty of protein and easy on the stomach. I can assure, almost 5 months post surgery the jello, shakes and broth will be enough! Sending positive vibes and good luck! Keep us posted!

    YES!!!!!

    Hope everything goes well. I say it all the time, but I'll say it again,

    THIS SURGERY SAVED MY LIFE!

    There is no describing how good you will feel about yourself and life once the weight comes off. I can definitely say that people treat me different now that I am thin.

    Let us know how you're doing.

    Hope you have a quick and pain free recovery.
    LOVING MY NEW LIFE!!!!

    Current Weight - 181 OMG
    Target Weight -205 That's right, 205!!!!

    You know - I think that is sad that you can tell a difference in how you are treated. I am going to watch out for that when it is finally my turn. I stopped dating because I felt like every man I went out with thought I was too big. But I make it a point to be polite and friendly to everybody - and even a little more so when I see someone who is big, because I know how it feels. It SHOULDN'T be that way, but I do feel invisible now to the opposite sex and just a big elephant in the room otherwise. I used to get compliments. Now THAT would be nice to have happen again!
