I had surgery a couple month's ago and it is has been fantastic....really! I have lost 25 pounds and I feel great. The pound are coming off steadily and I am happy with that. Ignore it! Move forward, you are going to do great!

Consignment shops are the best!Such a good idea with so many changes going on so quickly! I am now into a size xl tops (wow) and 18 bottoms are getting a little saggy in the butt! When i am trying tops on and they are size XL I actually read it again when i take it off and check it again thinking it couIdn't be! I am just around the corner from no more Plus size shopping! I might actually like shopping soon! Congratulations to you!

Thought I would be doing better, but I haven't had a fill yet so it has gotten much harder. still chugging along. Congrats to all those who lost this week!

I remember seeing someone wearing a rubber band around their wrist. I asked them why. They said to remind them of something they needed to do. They said that if they saw it on their wrist they knew there was something they needed to remember. So as crazy as it sounds I'm going to try it! Remind myself what I need to be doing and that's eating better. It might help to put it on the wrist I eat with! lol

Pysch Eval Tomorrow 03/13
journey4me replied to jen043454's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know one of the reasons they do the psych eval. is because some people who have underlying reasons for their eating disorder/habits may need counseling before and or after the surgery to deal with the issues that may have gotten them to this point. It will be fine. It was kind of like going to the principals office. Nerve racking, but it's all good! You will be fine! -
Congratulations! That's awesome! I am looking forward to onederland! 19 lbs. to go!

I did it!!! I finally made it to the gym which is only four blocks away! Definitely a mental thing too!

Not Losing Weight : /

You might want to try going back to liquids for a few days, then mushies and work your way back up. Kind of reboot your body and your mind. Get you water in too! -

It's lessons like that, that make me think first before I do it myself! Thanks for sharing!

It took me until about a week before surgery to relax. Just keep telling yourself it will be fine and you will be healthier.

What Can I Take For A Headache?
journey4me replied to lgm217's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I take tylenol just the was it is. You might want to ask the pharmacist. I just stay away from motrin it can be rough on the stomach. Good luck! -

I know when I see an ad for food and the plate is overflowing I think are you crazy! How did I ever eat that much! I definitely think our portions in the U.S. are way tooo big! What makes me cringe now is seeing premade food that is full of preservatives and fat. Ewww! How did i eat that....and why???
-
omg! Really? Things that make ya go huh?? Did they refer you to someone else?

You are going to need all the rest you can get to heal. I know I went back to work in 4 days and I was exhausted, I felt like there were bricks tied around my ankles. Take advantage of resting now! My pain was not too bad. I found the port site to be more uncomfortable. Just be patient and listen to your body. Best wishes!
