Lisa-Lisa

I went home with no pain meds! Only pain I had was if I moved too fast or the wrong way. I walked alot right after surgery like the Dr. advised me to do.

I tell! my coworkers all know. some have questions, and i try to help them understand. others tease me in a loving way. they know i dont eat the snacks they bring in, and it doesnt bother me that they bring in snacks. I dont expect anyone to change their ways because i did. I do encourage the ones who want to have the surgery to come to support meetings with me. They often ask how much weight have i lost. i just answer them that i dont get on the scale everyday. (which i dont) for the most part, everyone is supportive. it is your individual choice whether or not to tell. do what is most comfortable for you. good luck.

Lisa-Lisa, I'm your girl. My name is Lisa too. from looking at your picture you look like my former co-worker. anyways, that's restriction. until this week i have been suffering with restriction since 2weeks after my surgery. At my 7 week check-up I couldn't even get my first adjustment because i was soooooo restricted. Until now I just started to get somethings to go down. I know the feeling of the mouth watering. I have been suffering girl.

Anyways, I am glad that I am on my way to being able to eat. I was 304 when I started now I am down to 275.6 on my last visit. I have lost 27.9 pounds to date. My next appointment isn't until October and I hope to be down to the 35 mark. I was in a size 4x-5x(26-32) in my clothes now I'm down to a size 22. So excited, went shopping and bought me some apple bottom jeans....lol..no boots with the fur though.

Anyways girl, I hope things really work out for you and don't get discouraged you will begin to lose weight again. as far as not losing the weight you probably need another adjustment. I don't know you will just have to speak with your doctor about that.

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for the kind words. I am going to keep on pushing!

Are you going out and walking yet. Thats what got me going and my Dr wanted me taking walks asvp

I was at first, but have slowed down. I need to go to the gym more than once a week.

Congratulations Allison! Hope all went well for you.
