Size 14 baby!!!!!

SO last night the bf and I had a usual date night and we went to the mall. I was in need of some new dress pants. My presurg pants are just too big. So I was trying on pants and I started with a size 16 hoping they would not be to little and you know what they were too big!!!!:smile: I was so excited. So I went and got a 14. They were a little snug around the waist for me (probably just me though cuz I don't like things to touch me) but hopefully they won't me to tight for long. So I h

Feeling defeated

Hi guys, I am having a rough time and it doesn't help that I have a dr that doesn't seem to care. I had an appointment yesterday and for the 3rd time he told me that I was just an enigma to him. He called me a freak of nature last time. I am losing weight very very slowly. I knew I would lose it slower than most because I have PCOS(Polycystic ovarian syndrome) but I am creeping. Does anyone have any suggestions on helping me shed lbs a little faster...not way fast but 1-2 lbs a week?

Water retention???? Help!

Ok guys, I need some opinions. I am experiencing major water retention. I used to go up anywhere between 5-10 lbs anywhere from 5-7 days before I started my period then once I started my period it would leave. So I have currently been swollen for 3 weeks. My ankles are kankles and I can't get my rings on.   I thought this started because on 4/17 I did a 30 mile bike ride. I ate some rice and a little pasta 2 days before so I would have some carbs to burn off. I don't tolerate pasta t

2nd fill and metabolic testing

So I got my second fill last Wed. So far I can't really keep anything down but liquids. I did manage to get some chicken noodle soup down...barely. I am going to give it a few days cuz I don't really want to have an unfill. On Friday I went in and had an REE done which is a basal metabolic test. To everyone's surprise as well and mine my metabolism is in the normal range...actually a little bit above normal. I know this is good and I should be happy about it but it is really hard for

Weird dreams - nightmares if they were real :(

Hi guys, Just thought I would share this and see if any of you have had a similar experience.   I took a nap last night when I got home from work (I have been trying to fight off a cold). I woke up from my nap frustrated. I had dreamed that I went to my surgeons office and I had gained 11 lbs. 11lbs! So I was talking to the nurses and dietician and begging them for a fill. The nurses were telling me that he didn't have any appointments open before my next appointment. All the while m

1 month post op! Good news!

Hi guys! I am one month post op and I am down 23 lbs! Whoohoo! I was getting discouraged because I have been sitting at 22-23 lbs down for a couple of weeks now. Last night I had my mom measure me just like we did when I was pre-op and I am down 9.5 inches overall. That made me feel so much better. :confused: Hopefully my body will start letting go of a little more weight now. Have a great day guys and remember....WE CAN DO IT!!!!

First fill today

Well, I had my first fill today. It was no biggie. I thought I would freak when I had to stand up and drink with the needle in my stomach but it really didn't bother me. I ended up getting 2 cc's. I am nervous and anxious to see how the next few days go. I have only had water so far but I plan on having a protein shake here in a bit. Anybody have any fantastic smoothie recipes? Hopefully I will start losing weight again since I have gained a few lbs. :cursing:

Frustrated!!! Argh!

Hi guys, I am so frustrated. I am 2.5 weeks post op. I am back on mostly regular foods with the exception of some foods. Haven't tried lettuce or anything besides ground meat with the exception of a piece of chicken I had on my bday. Well I had lost 23 lbs. That includes the weight I lost on the liver shrinking diet the week before surgery (12.5). I was stuck at 23 lbs for about a week and then in the last couple of days I have gained 3 lbs. Is it normal to gain a couple of lbs when
