    able to drink more Water

    @denise08k

    are you "gulping"? check w/NUT if that's ok at 5 weeks

    as far as drinking a lot during the day, that's terrific!!!

    drink as much as you can now - 64 oz is what aim for

    whistle in happiness as you walk to bathroom 😉

    counts as steps LOL

    holding a glass of Water to your health

    good luck newbie

    408lbs to 344 in 2 weeks.

    hey dude

    people at a heavier starting weight tend to loose a lot of weight at the beginning

    of their journey, will slow down a little as time passes, but will do great

    it's mind boggling to me that you or anyone can loose 64 lbs in 2 weeks

    not sure about that - but..... ok, that's great!!!

    continued good luck, health and happiness☺️

    breaks my heart to see people posting regrets about WLS.

    @CrystalV

    What @Sheribear68 said above^ ^^- very true - same feelings from me

    when i read a post about regrets (possibly because they now can't eat food well, or someone had

    physical complication PO) i feel bad for them, i feel guilty (sounds silly) probably because i never had any prob - pre and PO continuing these past 7+ years with my sleeve.

    I see you are now 3 months PO - how have things been going? i hope you are

    doing and feeling ok.

    good luck☺️

    your bud

    Its hard enough dodging the office cupcakes and donuts...lol

    @funky_monkey800

    nice to see you again☺️

    a couple of OP have also offered me "extra" food - esp. goodies. Some peep might think their

    being nice by pushing the food. not true, but their thoughts

    Orrrrr, some people want YOU to eat because they are heavy - and they want company with

    their eating

    hope all is well bud

    going from Lapband to Gastric Sleeve revision, to RNY revision

    @Caela88

    yes, i knew someone

    she had the lapband for a few years - erosion, then sleeve - heartburn - revision to RNY

    haven't seen her in quite awhile - hopefully all is well.

    i don't know how often this happens, but for the above reasons it's sad, but understandable

    is a 3rd revision in your future?

    hope all goes well whatever you do☺️

    good luck

    what to expect at my first support group before surgery

    @marissa

    welcome newbie

    many OP were quiet, shy for a bit - but once the "leader" started talking, everything went

    smoothly - and people asked questions, she responded - back and forth. All went well,

    and i was a better person afterwards🤣

    good luck

    long day at work sweating all day its just not pretty

    @Moerios

    Hi Tex

    welcome to our "little" group - we get "smaller" by the day

    one yr surgiversary - congrats - don't know if that puts you at GOAL?

    wherever you are - lookin' and doing great!!!😉

    sorry/glad i can't relate to your "smell" problem!

    working hard/heat/sun - no one should be offended if you don't

    smell like roses!! take a cold, comforting shower when you get

    home, problem solved - you'll smell sweet as a daisy.

    keep up the good work

    nearly died, have been fighting every since. healed with extreme issues,.

    OMG you've been through the ringer. I can only imagine what you've been dealing with.

    when was your surgery? Who is helping/treating you now.

    you've lost a lot of weight, but you are too sick to enjoy your weight loss. Eating only small

    spoonfuls, yet continuing to lose too much weight the wrong way.

    i have had no complications over the past 7+ years - i am so sorry for your problems

    Venting is good and therapeutic - vent away

    sending you healing thoughts❤️

    get well soon

    good luck

    doesn't support my decision to have it in Mexico.

    @Tralynn222

    sorry your PCP is giving you a hard time, find another doc that will give you the OK

    don't let her thoughts sway you. You'll be so happy w/WLS - your new life is right in

    front of your eyes. ☺️

    for financial reasons, many OP go to Mexico Many many many OP have great success

    in Mexico - complications can happen anywhere, USA or Mexico.

    good luck bud

    surgery has been approved !!!!!

    @50coupe332

    yeah, being approved - wonderful!!

    your new exciting life is right in front of your nose

    get a jump start pre-op - shakes, watch your portions - many Water rules

    to get used to such as no drinking w/meals and not drinking for 30-45 minutes

    after you eat😒 (whatever your NUT will tell you)

    good luck - work hard - you will do great!!
