Fall Roll Call...lets here about you!
I just cant stop saying WOW... WOW...OMG WOW....
I hope this time next year i can say that i've had my RNY and I'm doin great! Umm so I'll put this here so that next year i can come back and say.. seriously... i was that big, and that miserable?
I'm 26, i've been big my whole life, and the last 50 lbs i've gained since i move to Oklahoma 3 years ago and less than 6 months ago the comorbidities started, and i FREAKED OUT. So i've had a life long goal of going to Egypt, and i set up a savings plan and was all excited, and then i realized, omg, there is no way in hell i can FLY to Egypt, wander around, explore the pyramids, and stand the heat at this weight. I have to do this, and i have to do it now, for me, for my health, for the future i dont have right now. So here it is... Keaton-477 lbs, Seminar- Aug 19th, Surgeon/NUT/psych eval October 8th... Anyone have a few buckets i can borrow? Ima need them when these pounds start falling off me!

Welcome to the wildest ride of your life. You are the best of hands (I am just a little prejudice) The people on here are great support. Hey we are having a support meeting October 17th at Norman regional education center it doesnt count as your required one but you can meet some great people there and hear some more of those WOW stories as we have everyone from years out to still waiting. We also welcome family and anyone trying to lose weight no matter who does their surgery. I know me and Pattye will be there. I promised her.
hey you! I want your pic up as an avatar instead of what you have... You are beauitful and you need to show that off.
I know that your decision will change so much about you that next year you will be so active that I wont be able to catch up with you.
I have the same dream EGYPT>>>but for me that will always be a dream...only cause I cant handle flying that long...
Hope to see you Saturday at jasons..and how are you doing on the challenge????
Hugs

I went to the doctor today and i have lost 6 pounds!!!! I'm an established facebookian. Not sure how you look names up on there but yah lemme know or add me or whatever. I dont know Norman very wel at all, mostly at all. I'll try to be there, but i am currently sick (mild sinus infection, severe sinus/allergy) and the doc gave me a coupon for free meds and walgreens wouldnt honor it, so with insurance ONE pill would be $45, uh sorry, free to $45 doesnt work well with a broke de broke. Anyways, less than 36 hours woo!!!!
try wal mart...
the jasons is off the interstate..if you go to jasons deli online they will have a map on there...
All I know about Norman is where the hospital is and the physical therapy....I will be there early and if ya need my # i will send it to ya...btw way on facebook I am pattye sears

Okay, I want to play! I am 15 months out and have lost a total of 157 lbs! My life has changed and I am "busy living" too. I took up biking and did a 50 mile bike ride last weekend in Tulsa with tons of hills. It was a blast. I hit the gym at 5:30 most mornings.
I want to get to 160 and then have "anti gravity" procedures done and donate some skin that will hopefully weight about 10 lbs and then I will be at my goal.
I admit to struggling with the 3 meals a day rule that weight wise gives us. I just haven't been able to handle that once I got 6 months out. My weight loss stalled last month so I started following the weigh****chers plan and I have started losing again. I know alot of people say they have surgery so they don't have to diet. I think for me this will be a life long battle but without my VSG I couldn't win and now I can! I am thrilled to be able to follow a program with success instead of like before.
Last I have met so many wonderful people on this same journey that I would have never met with out this board. This is a place where others understand exactly what you are facing. Without this support I don't think I would have been as successful.
