    I went for my psych eval today. The psych had not heard back from the VA where I hope to have this surgery, so she didn't know what test to give to me. She asked some questions and took notes. I am good to go (as far as a psych eval) if I go outside of the VA. I am supposed to call the psych back next week and hopefully then she would have heard back from where I want this done. If they will do it then I have to go back for the rest of the psych eval (an hour long test on the computer).

    Don't have a date yet. My initial consult with the surgeon is on Aug 27th. and doing my 3 month consultation with my dr. now. so i'm hoping ASAP! I have struggled with my weight for as long as I remember, always being the fat girl of the group. I have thinking about doing this for over 2yrs now but I psych myself up and say I can do it without surgery and then 3 months later I gain more than what i lost. So I need this to HELP.

    Everyone i sent your pics to were really impressed. I'm still working through the process, but in terms of my decision, I'm there 100%. I really think it will all happen in September. I've never subscribed to the "keep calling until you get what you want" methond for jobs, etc., but I think in this case, I'm gonna do it :-). Hope you had a great weekend.

    Hi Eli!
    I am doing well, thanks. I am doing good in getting in my protein and drinking alot of fluids about 50-60 oz. or more. I wasn't in too much pain either didn't fill prescription for pain med from doc. I am so far tolerating everything that is on my list of things I can eat. Had mashed potatoes today and they were gooooooood.

    So looks like things are good and I hope that they continue to get better and better each day.

    Thanks Eli!

    After 2 years and 7 months post-op I am at a normal weight, I'm finally at my goal weight.

    It's really amazing to me that *I* did it...this surgery really did work and helped me get to this point and I am so grateful for it. For all the bad stuff people have to say or think about it...they have no idea how much it means to a person like me who used to be MO with no hope.

    Wow. I'm still thinking how crazy this has been...life really does change after wls.

    Some of you lovely ladies have commented on my arms and how they look. However, I *do* have flabby arms...although I do admit my arms are the least problematic part of my body. I can live with my set of "batwings" because I feel like although they do flap when I lift my arm, they're not that BAD. Tell me whatcha think?

    ...well not really a secret but...I weigh myself EVERYDAY...sometimes 3 times a day!

    So this is what I figured out...pre-op I never, I mean NEVER, got on the scale. Why? Because I was afraid...afraid the scale wouldn't read my weight because I was over the limit...afraid to see that 300+ number...afraid of being aware of reality.

    Since I never checked my weight before...it was like the problem was not there.

    Now, I fell like I must weigh

    Today, I got a message from a gb friend and she writes: "you are so gorgous....ever feel like your fat again?? ugh i do"

    My response was...I have never stopped feeling fat! I know this topic has been discussed many times on the forum and it has been establish that "it takes a while for the brain to catch up" and that "we didn't have surgery on our brains", etc.

    So yea, I feel bad reading that type of comment from other gb friends and

    Hey guys,

    I'm so tired right now. My thighs & legs are throbbing. I ran & walked 4 miles...I mostly ran or maybe half & half? Well I did it anyway.

    I've seen the scale move for the first time in a long time...153.6!! What? It's a trickery I know as soon as I drink water or eat it'll go back up.

    I went to get retested for my vision today and like I said my vision is not good uncorrected. I think I'm "legally" blind, 20/200.
