So those of you who are post op and are using birth control have you had any weight gain or has your weight loss slowed at all? What type are you taking?

So I've been hanging around the house since surgery. I've gone to walmart, the pharmacy etc., but not anywhere else. Today my mom asked me to go to church with her. I thought, why not? I feel pretty good (had oatmeal for the first time today) and she's been helping me a lot. So I shower and try to get dressed and to my semi horror my clothes don't fit. Like my fav dress pants...NO. So I try my fav jeans and it looks like I could stuff a "package" in the front. Then I take them off without even unzipping them. My shirts are big as well, but with a belt or little cardigan I can make some of them work. Oh but wait! My "little" go to cardi's aren't little anymore. I don't wanna look frumpy by wearing too big clothes, but I didn't realize this would start happening so soon. (Which I should be thrilled about, but it's darn frustrating when you're trying to leave) arrrggghhh Whew....I needed to vent!

So my highest weight ever was 285. My consult weight was 274. I was sleeved 5.30. Day of surgery 243. 1st day home from hospital 250. (I was so confused & bewildered) Today 235.7!

Neva907...Sharing is caring! Lol

I was really wondering how this would work for me. I'm a bit of a foodie..well was. So I like great food & great friends and family too. I go out to breakfast with my mom once a week and with a group of girls at least once a month. I love the fellowship. I hope I don't start to hate it.

So day 1 post op. I'm using the restroom a lot due to the iv fluids. I'm very sore. Everything else is ok...for now. Scoot over I'm coming to the bench!

Funny you should say blast. She kept saying, "biggest breath you can and then BLAST it out."

So I found out today from my surgeon 's pa that the sleeve is covered. Yeah! I'm just waiting to set up my pre op tests & final approval.
