Just Do It! You have come this far and now it's not the time to give up. This is part of your new life. Focus on all those things your doing and it will be habitual. Just Do It is what I go by. Your mom and sister will see the change in you and will then get some understanding. They love you and will be there for you. They will even learn from you.

CONGRATS on your new you....

I had some itching around my incision sites also. But it went away quickly. I have diffiiculties with my scalp. It itches like crazy after I have it dyied. I had so much gray I couldn't wait any longer. My hair dresser told me to use Nioxin because it has alot of vitamins and stuff. But it still itches. I'm still losing alot of hair, but new hair is also coming in.

Great job! Your be there in no time.

CONGRATS!

My PT told me that muscle burns fat, LOL I have also read this when I researched it! In fact, I think you have even mentioned this... Keep it up. CONGRATS!

I'm totally amazed. This is so awesome. I tried to click on follow, but I can't find a follow. Keep up the hard work and wil be waiting to hear how your doing in your training and on the big day!

congrats!

i was always hungry for the first 6 weeks post op then after readin the postings here, I talked to my surgeon's office about taking a PPI (prevacid). That helped with my hunger. Also worked at increasing fluid intake. Hope this helps.

i have been drinking diluted low calorie gatorade. I have a little discomfort when I drink just plain water. I tried the crystal light in water and didn't like it much. Still have some left, I will try it again soon.

Congrats! Your co worker will have to eat his/her words. You will look great within a couple days after the surgery. Looking forward to hearing about your adventure.

Love it!

Congrats! I admire your courage and determination. Keep up the hard work and keep rockin that sleeve!

CoNGRatS! That is a real accomplishment. Keep ROCKIN that SLEEVE!

Can you or your parent qualify for credit? There is Care Credit that will help pay for medical, dental, veternary services. Theres a six month grace period where you don't have to payl It is doable and you are worth it. You have wonderful parents!

Conrats! Time is here.... Sit back and enjoy the ride, no since in getting anxious, be patient, and be happy the time has come. So happy for you!

Amazing! I love hearing this!

CONGRATS! I love that you found your voice again! Keep using it!

OMG! I needed this earlier today! Thank you for sharing..

Hey, this is just the beginning, in a couple of weeks or maybe 1 month, you will need to buy new pants, because those won't fit anymore. It's exciting. I haven't lost weight for about 3 weeks and I'm noticing that my size M blouse (that I love so much) is actually getting too big. I would have never thought I'd get down past a M. So stoked! Keep up the losing it will happen, and actually it is happening. ROCK THAT SLEEVER girl!

I have changed to many close sizes. I am down to a size 8 pant and a medium top, which is headed for a size smaller. I love but hate to have to get new cloths, it is costly. But worth it, I love looking sexy and cute now.

Please don't poo poo the exercise. The exercise will help firm you and assist your bone structure. I didn't really exercise like I was suppose too and now regret it. I could of walked for 30 minutes on a daily basis but talked myself out of it. Now I have hired a trainer and am doing core exercises and starte walking every day. I love it, i have alot more energy now and hope it will help me lose more weight. Or just stop the jiggles. LOL

I love your positive outlook. You rock girl! When is your surgery date? I look forward to hearing about your journey and successes as a BIG LOSER!

I have been afraid of stretching my stomach also. I know that it is possible because a friend of mine has RnY and she has stretched her pouch. At my surgeon's office the PA told me that there are some people trying to get their staple line moved but struggle with their insurance companies. So I try to just be really careful with my foods.

It sounds like you are in a stall. This will pass, but I do have to agree with everyone else! You will notice a big difference in a couple of months. Have you measured yourself? Sometimes when in a stall, your body is readjusting and inches are coming off. Relax, continue on with healing.

Imagine your new thin self getting on a carnival ride with your beautiful children and they have the biggest smile ever! You sit down and the safety bar goes down and clicks and there is so much room between your tummy and the safety bar! This will be a reality. Everyone is scare before the surgery. I was totally freaking out and wanted to run. I didn't run and am very thankful I had the surgery. The best thing that's ever happened for me. Hang in there.......
