I confess that I fear that my 30 lb loss will be my only loss. I confess that I absolutely hate exercising, but I force myself to do it anyway. I confess that I do not torture myself. If I want something, I have it (in moderation, of course).

Thanks for that info. I was worried!

Oh no, hopefully, it won't be too bad. I say bring enough food for 2-3 days & eat enough for one meal...they probably won't notice. Good luck & keep me posted!

I know that you didn't ask me, but I'm a middle school teacher. I told a couple of people before school ended. They were very supportive. I don't eat in the teachers' lounge, so I'm not worried. I did tell the two girls who eat lunch in my classroom.

I dyed mine several weeks out...so far, so good.

This is great! There were no DE people when I started. As of tomorrow, I am 8 weeks post op. Congrats & good luck to you both. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

I live in Delaware too. I just wanted to reach out because there aren't many of us. Did you have your surgery yet? Who did/is doing it??? Ps...this was a private message, but the app is acting up.

Good luck to you both!

My doctor used a drain, while I was in the hospital. At almost 2 months post op, I still can't lay in my left side. It feels very uncomfortable. My right side, however, is fine. Things will get better. Good luck & congrats on your surgery!

On a good note, you are losing! I know that we sometimes get discouraged, because we expect drastic results, but the slower the weight loss the less likely that you will have a lot of excess skin. That's how I justify it anyway. I will be two months out on Tuesday. I weigh myself weekly for my YouTube updates; otherwise, I would do it monthly. So far, I am down 30 lbs. Some people who have had their surgeries around the same time or after me have lost a lot more than I have, but I try & remember that everyone's weight loss journey is different. Anyway, my point minus all of the rambling, things will get better. Good luck & try to weigh yourself weekly...!

I hope that you won't experience it as well, Song bird. It's sad, but it's not our fault. Littlebits

Finally! Whoo hoo! Littlebits

"Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies" & "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery" are two cookbooks that I have found on Amazon. I downloaded them on my Kindle, but I haven't used any the recipes yet. I also ordered Hungry Girl's new cookbook. Littlebits

1st stall & gain--193. Littlebits

I hope that all is well...congrats!!! Littlebits

I understand...that's the part that I am truly dreading. I don't care what people say about wigs & weaves...I want to keep my hair. Littlebits

"Oprah also gained most of it back the wrong way" multiple times!!! We can all lose the weight...keeping it off is the problem. Littlebits

Awe...I hope that your hair grows back soon too! Littlebits
