  1. Wow... Mine was only 18,000 lol. Pocket change compared to you guys lol. Only 1000 out of pocket
  2. Agreed... I still see myself as the same as what I started. The only way I notice is going down in pant size. But I compare myself to people who are obviously bigger than me.
  3. Mine has depended on vie people I meet up with. My co-workers noticed at about 50 pounds down. But people I haven't seen in a while noticed at like 30. From my highest I'm almost 100 down.

  5. Having surgery can do a lot to your TOM. Think of all the hormones that are stored in fat. So for it to last longer than normal happens often. Or make it come early. Or late, in my case. Plus while TOM visits, you hold water weight. It will go. Just be patient.

    Pets?

    I have two dogs. They both acted the same towards we. But animals sense when something is not right. They can sense emotions and feelings. So maybe you're putting out something different. Maybe you're not feeling yourself or tired or depressed. My dogs will act different when I am stress than when I am normal.

    Labor Day Challenge 2012

    SW-209 CW-208 Hey I'll take that pound :-)
  12. I can tell you from personal experience that it will come off. Your body is catching up the surgery. I stalled for almost 4 weeks. Yes it happens. Yes it's stressful, but I bet if you take a pic of your face, You'll notice it's thinner more than likely. Most importantly is fluids. Make sure you get the most you can. When I stall for a while now, I drink extra and it kicks the weight loss back in. Good luck honey. The scale will move.

    First It Was Sex Now Its Food...

    I don't know. I can still vividly describe the worst food I've ever had (buttermilk if you're wonderingly lol), but can honestly say I can't remember the worst sex. I think I just put it out of my mind. And I think it WAS because it WAS over quickly lol

    I Skipped The 18's! :)

    WOW Lissa!!!! That totally rocks. I am so happy for you. I think you really should go out dancing
  15. The gurgling and grunting were my favorite part lol. It is normal. Yes still eat. It will calm down a lot over the next couple of weeks. You're tummy is going to be sore for a bit. Mine was only a week or so, some I see a few weeks out are still hurting. Just take your pain meds when needed. Lastly, the BM... Mine was a week. Milk of Magnesia and Miralax are real good friends of mine. They should help you a lot. Congrats.

    Curious..

    I think it's because we're all pretty proud of ourselves. If you would've asked me my weight 4 months ago... Oh hell no lol.

    Menstrual Cycle

    Oh yeah. I was 2 weeks late. Freaked for a minute.. lol. But every woman I have seen has either started that day or the next, or was late. Your body had trauma so it tries to react the best it can. Plus with all the hormones being she from the fat so fast (pre op diet) it get's confused. Good luck. Welcome to the loser's bench

    Curious..

    I was Sleeved by Dr. Michael King in Oxford, MS. Starting BMI was 42.2. I weighed 276 (Down 25 pounds from my largest) Including pre op diet (20 lbs) and post op (48 lbs). I now weight 208. 3 months out.

    Starting Liquids Monday

    This is perfectly normal. I think everyone who is about to have any kind of surgery, whether elective or necessary, has this feeling. It's a big deal. You would be crazy not to be at least a little nervous. Weird thing for me is I had a calm that came over me. I knew it was right as I was laying there waiting to go back. I was confident in my surgeon. That's the most important part. He's never lost anyone. Only had 1 leak in the 3000 surgeries he's done, and that was in the first 10 he did. He has his method down pat. So breath, relax and know that it's not going to be easy, but it's going to be worth it. Good luck on surgery and can't wait to have you on the loser's bench.
