Well! Humph! I never!
How inappropriate. (kegeling...lalalala)

Technically I guess we could google "how much fat is in a va jay jay" and then get a study done on yours before and measure the difference. I fear I may never stop laughing. I'm just waiting for someone to tell me I'm immature because it's a serious question. And it is. But.....

Ah the irony that her great-granddaughter's name is GeauxForit.

1. the 1st day or 2 after- but pain controlled with drugs
2. the beginning liquid only stage that you totally forget about
3. nothing
4. nothing
5. nothing
6. expense of buying new clothes
7. um...nothing
8. small portions? but so what...
9. nothing
10. making sure I drink enough and eat. Oh wait, that's the whole world's problem...

Be sure to take Before photos (today!) You won't regret it.

You'll both do great.
To MartyMcSkinnystein: love your post!

I've always thought Hue makes the best opaque control top tights. But at sizes 4 and 5 they only come in black and brown.
Today I fit into a size 3 of a grey pair I bought long ago for "just in case." Now I'll be able to get purple and pink and orange and blue and every color under the sun!!! Yay!!! (Not that I will get orange . But I can!!) Yay!!

great job!

congrats! I started out with a 52 BMI so I can totally related to your joy... it is wonderful!

Congratulations! What a milestone to have reached!! You did it!

Don't you just love being able to eat a Lean Cuisine & being full? I can only eat half of one so getting 2 meals out of one is just wonderful to me!

I'm pretty glad. For me it's been relatively easy. Having a little Lean Cuisine right now (turkey dinner if you can believe it haha)- the one with the green Beans only and quite satisfied.
Honestly, if you're thinking of doing it...I am 4 months out and don't feel any difference in my life. You eat less and it's much easier to do it without that hunger hormone. Period. (For me).
I've had many challenges the past few months including my husband getting hit by a drunk driver (he's in tons of pain and has damage to his back and neck-- but he's alive!!).
The thing is, if I hadn't done this and lost 60 lbs. so far, I never would have had the energy to get me through all the hard work of doing so much at home and at work (a very hard school year).
Thanks for all your support here. It has helped me a lot.

I was fine. Some gas pain in the beginning. But.. the worst part was waking up with BACK pain from laying in one position for so long. And I didn't realize in recovery I could pull myself into a comfortable position (thought I'd pull something loose..lol). Once I knew I could adjust myself and I got back in the room with "the good stuff" in my I.V. I was fine- walking that night.

How do you explain it if you're a klutz like me and the balls fall out and you trip over them and break your neck while running on the treadmill. "I was...um...er...ah... just put the cast on." -not that I can't keep them in with the best of them......(oohoooh she went there!!!)

Wow! What a difference. Congrats!!

I'm always amazed at the IRL meetings when people ask questions that I consider basics. I wonder how they ever coped with having surgery without more information than they have! I usually feel like a big mouth in those meetings because I'm answering so many questions. VST Rocks!!! All the info that is out here is life-saving, IMO. I recommend the board here constantly.

It's a miracle really, how you don't even WANT some of the things that you used to.
If I want a bite of a "goodie." rarely- I have it. If it's a goodie that I used to gorge on- I don't even want it...I'm afraid to let those little things sneak in.
Do I like the idea of a big cheesesteak on a huge roll with cheese fries- yes.
But I'm free from really obsessing about it. The roll could be scooped out and
I could have a fry or two- if I wanted. Someday. But I choose to maximize this ultimate losing time in the first year by making better choices. Honestly we can't eat all that much and have this amazing satisfaction from the little amount.
Funny story. I was in Trader Joe's and they had a medicine sample cup of a fancy shrimp dish. Haha-Dinner! It's pretty awesome to fill up on hardly anything but also get the delicious taste and not feel deprived. I'm happy.
I was talking to this person who happens to be a WW coach yesterday and he asked how I handle the cravings with such little food and I'm like..you don't have them because you're free from that constant hunger/want for food-- the ghrelin- appetite/hunger hormone, is gone.
So strange how life is now...
