I was so excited when I got into VS bras. My be advice is to not buy to many. I now have a bunch of expensive bras that are at least two sizes to big!

@MrsLucas sorry for your loss. You can just start over. Pretend you didn't have the surgery and start off with a pre-op diet, then transition though the stages the same way you didn't when you originally had the surgery. It can be challenging, but it's a great way to hit the reset button and get back on track. Good luck!

Great job, Congrats! On Giving Tuesday I took all my 18/20w pants to the Christin Mission. 6 bags! What a feeling! Found some of my next size down back of the closet. LOL What a feeling of wearing pants that don't feel like you have a load down there. I even had to put a belt on some of them because they would fall off. Now I think back that I should have never gotten my breast reduction 10 years ago. Was a "F" cup to a "D" cup and couldn't move. Now I think I'm loosing it all there. UUGH But I will find this coming summer a swim suit top that will fit and not fall out of.

Passing gas never felt so good!! 2 days post op and I was partially miserable and bloated this morning. Once the gas started rolling and released, feels like a new me. Still sore, but much more tolerable.

Good luck! Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Speedy recovery 🎈

CONGRATS!!!!!

Congrats! We are all here to help one another.

Hello All. I had my gastric sleeve surgery on June 16, 2016. I lost about 25lbs the first month and then suffered the loss of my father who was my best friend. After I lost my dad I ceased losing weight. I mourned the loss of him for quite some time...I still do really. For at least the first year after losing him I was in a horrible depressed state and didn't follow the rules of how I should eat post sleeve. I was eating until I felt sick, eating unhealthy foods and drinking (not alcohol) my calories. Finally after a year I figured out how to live day by day without him and started feeling happy and positive again. I started following the rules and being super vigilant with my health. I dropped 40 lbs in two months! Whoa. Then, after those two months of excellent weight loss I found out my husband and I were expecting. I went to my first sonogram excited and two seconds with the wand on my belly she told me it was twins! I was instantly excited as twins run in my family (I am the aunt to two sets of twin boys from the same mother.) After the excitement wore off I feared the pending weight gain. I told myself I was going to watch what I ate and not give into wild pregnancy cravings. I lied to myself. I gained 68lbs total through the pregnancy. After giving birth I lost an initial 37lbs the first two days postpartum. Then another 10lbs the following week. I have been stuck at 48 total lbs lost for months now but I also haven't been following the rules of how I should eat post sleeve again. It's time to get my butt in gear. Anyone else a couple years out starting over? I am just looking for tips and possibly success stories for motivation! HELP!

So I submitted all my paper work last week and the physicians assistant told me she would be submitting my file to the insurance company that day (last Wednesday I believe). So I called my insurance company today to check on the status because they only take 24 hours to approve surgery. I call and the lady says she has nothing for me 😩 and to call my doctors office to see what the hold up is. I call the doctor and they tell me oh we are submitting your paperwork today. So now I’m pissed like Ms you def said you was submitting it last week. But ok fine whatever! So now I’m thinking when they claim the insurance company takes a week or two to process the surgery requests it’s really them taking their time submitting the request. I was really trying to get this stuff submitted ASAP my surgeon had one day left open in January and now since they are dragging their feet sending my stuff in I’m looming at a February/ March surgery date smh..... I’m pissed to say the least
