Somewhere along the way, I've lost myself...

and you did it in such a short time i am so impressed your are a great insperation and excited for you. are you going to post before and after pics? what other than eating did you do to help with this quick weight loss as i am 368LB . also you live in NS also how long did it take you to get a date once you were refered? My Dr just refered me tofay 2/24/11 and i am so excited but yet discouraged when she said it can take up to 2 years or longer .

It took me 3 years pre-op to lose the first 90lbs and 7 months post op to lose another 90lbs so the post op loss is fairly average I think... But I did work my butt off so I'll take that compliment, thank you very much! lol You can see before & during pics on my profile page (I sent you a friend request) but I haven't taken after pics yet - I suppose it's time for more 'during' pics now though :) Most of the questions that you asked are on my profile page too - including dates & wait times... I did lots of stuff - I walked both pre & post op & after I got a little confidence, I went to the gym... Before surgery I cut out all of the white stuff (sugar, bread, flour & pasta) and replaced it with whole wheat instead & found healthy 'replacements' for the things we really liked to eat... It hasn't been easy, but I'm really glad that I did it!
Congrats on your referral - that means you're on your way!! I know the wait times are long, but hang in there - it's worth the wait! Sorry I didn't answer all of your questions in this post, but I have a sleepy little man here who needs to go to bed! :S Anyway, have a look at my profile page & if you still have any questions just let me know :))

They were gonna do it yesterday if they could fit me in but guess they couldnt cause i didnt get the call. So it will be this coming Friday now. I am hoping it works so i can get back to feeling like myself and back to work. I am not used to sitting around like this so much. My weight loss has slowed down majorly right now but i am guessing its due to not exercising since i feel like crap most days and sadly not getting my protein in like i should be. BUT i finally found greek yogurt and had some today. Loved it mixed with FF cool whip and some mashed blackberries. So i am excited now at least i will be getting my protein in finally.
