Sending prayers your way!!!

I'm asking everyone to please say a prayer for my friend Christina....she is having the gastric sleeve done today!

That is one of the worst feelings ever....one day while I was driving I totally forgot about my surgery and was extremely thirsty grabbed my water and gulped it down and there was nothing I could do it was way too late and I was in pain for 10 minutes I got the heebe geebe's...definitely drink and eat slowly!

Ms pinup congrats on getting your approval I'm sure you anxious and excited to start the new part of your life!!

I simply tell them that working out and exercising haven't helped me in the past and that this surgery is just another tool to help me get healthier and explain that you'll still have to work out and eat right that the surgery isnt a cure all! And if they continue to rag on you or say negative things I would just tell them straight up its your life and your decision and against their beliefs you are doing this to better your life and then just move and start talking about something else!

I am super excited to be posting this and I made this thread to not only see everyone's nsv's but for people who aren't loosing to come to this thread to get encouragement! Lately my weight loss has slowed down I loose about 1-2 lbs a week here lately before I was loosing anywhere between 5-6 lbs a week.....anyways to make a long story short I've been in a size 16 for over a month now and I went and bought a size 13 before I was even in the 16's because I knew eventually I would get there well 2 days ago I was able to put on those 13's, granted they were tight and made my flabby stomach poke out at the top I was still able to get them on and button and zip them!!! I won't be wearing them out in public for awhile until I can more comfortably fit in them but I just had to share this experience with all of you!

Congrats on the start of a new you!!! I also had to sleep upright for the first week and had a ton of gas pain and nausea but I was ok as long as I kept my nausea patch on!

You'll be great!!! It's really not that bad I've had a few of them!

Good luck today at your surgery! Prayers for a safe successful surgery and a speedy recovery!

When is your surgery?!? Your dr may not require you to do it!

YoungNY that's exactly what happened to me when I took a sip of soda it was horrible I almost passed out and my mom almost had to call the ambulance!

Omg I don't dump either and I too did an oopsie but it was long before Easter I just won't do it again....hey we are all human therefore we can't always be perfect!

The secret to feeling full is lots and lots of water!!! Try to aim for 64 ozs a day!!

Good luck and congrats on your new life and new you!!! Can't wait to see progress pics!!!

yay Kristaroberts!!! CONGRATS!!!

I haven't been able to bring myself to eat/try cottage cheese just the thought of what it is and what is looks/smells like makes me want to upchuck lol! I did however do the whole tuna thing again and that is good....strange thing is that I hated tuna before surgery and now it's my best friend!!!

If your going to the gym its possible you've gained muscle mass and instead of loosing weight you've lost inches!

Good luck!!!

That's awesome!!! And welcome back to the world of real food!!! And congrats!!!!

Congrats!!!

I'm 3 months out and lost 62 lbs

Wow that's awesome news!!!! Congrats!!!

Just wondering if anyone has had any differences in taste after surgery as aposed to before? and If you have anything you can't eat now after surgery that you once loved! I have a problem with a few things, I can't eat chicken even though I would love to! Also ketchup makes me feel sick to my stomach and so does the smell of skim and 1% milk.....funny thing is about milk I love the smell of the whole milk and love the taste!!

Good luck hoping everything goes well I had my gall bladder removed during my surgery as well and I recovered pretty quickly!

Welcome and good luck!!!
