I had to laugh out loud on this post. Root, you cracked me up

Stay focused and you will not chicken out! Seriously, it is one of the best things I have ever done. You have been on these boards for months , so you pretty much know what to expect. I think Dr. Hoehn is a very skilled surgeon and that is why I didn't even have the dreaded gas pains after surgery. DR. H AND HIS TEAM KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING! I will thinking of you and Renee on April 13.

Shontel congratz to you. I have a question. Did you go to Mexico to get your implants? I ask because my girls need help, but I need to lose about 40 more pounds and it will still be another year or so before I can have the surgery. I am looking at my options NOW.. so I know about how much money I need to save. Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance for your reply. Deb

10 days post op and not sure if its going right
Dansha replied to ATLGirl's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
The main reason it is difficult to get a drink or a shake down the first weeks after surgery is becuz your stomach is very very swollen from the surgery, so it mite take several weeks for the swelling to go down. That's why your surgeon/nut want you to sip your fluids becuz IT WILL HURT IF YOU DON"T. -

Successful, but Sabotaging Myself
Dansha replied to Brian66's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Brian, I am right with you. True I still would like to see about 40 more pounds gone. But in the last few weeks, heck who am I kidding.... months the weight has come off so slow becuz I am eating the wrong stuff. I KNOW THAT.... SO WHY AM I DOING IT!!!!! I kinda feel like a failure. Hugs to everyone. Deb -

5 Days out...Will i Ever Feel Normal Again!?!
Dansha replied to Curvy8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not only does it get better, but when you are as far out as I am (Almost 8 months) you will wish for the early dayz. It is WAAAAYYY to easy to eat now. Thank goodness for my early restriction or I would not have lost as fast or as much as I did. Good luck. Deb -
how much weight did you lose on the pre-op diet?
Dansha replied to rachelkork's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
This was also my pre-op diet. Plus I could have one container of low-carb yogurt a day. I lost a little more than a pound a day for two weeks. -
I TOLD ANY AND EVERYBODY WHO WANTED TO KNOW!!!! I never heard any negative feedback, only encouragement. I told peeps, becuz I always felt soooo pissed off when I would ask people who were big how they were you losing their weight and they would come back with diet and exercise. I always thought BULL CRAP. Why can't you just tell the truth. I am not asking to be noisy, but maybe it could help me. Right then and there, I thought if I ever have WLS. I would be completely honest. So if they ask..... I tell. Plus I don't keep secrets very well. LOL. Deb

How do sleever's celebrate success
Dansha replied to lash44's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I am going on a cruise. I gonna have FUN, FUN, and more FUN. Did I say I was gonna have fun. What kind of fun you say? I going to ride a horse in the ocean. Possibly scuba dive and try snorkeling. WOW..... did I say that!!! I am going to try any and all things dealing with the ocean. WOO HOO Deb -
I am a little over 7 months and I would say I have vomited twice. All of the times were in the beginning when I was introducing foods back into the lineup. I sometimes feel maybe a little sick to my stomach if I EAT TO MUCH OR TO FAST NOW, but have not thrown up since the first month. I definitely know my full signal and try not to cross it. Good luck.

WooHoo! Past half way and nearly 100 lbs GONE!
Dansha replied to Rootman's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Dude, I know just what you mean I did save a pair of my biggest jeans to show peeps. I thought about taking a pic with those on and showing how loose they are. I started at a size 26 and now down to a size 12. If you don't know what that means ask wifey. But again YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
