I have been afraid to clean out my closet for that reason. I have like 8 things that I rotate and wear. The rest are just huge pieces of clothing hanging there to make it look like I have clothes. My workout clothes hang on me, my tshirts look like dresses. I have 49 more pounds to go and I just dont want to buy anything.... I know I can go to consignment and thrift stores but hate to.....

If they are a good bariatric surgeon with a good staff they should have a check list that you go thru. First call your insurance company and see what they require. If you are having tests now you need to make sure they carry over to next year. Because if you are required to have a 6 months supervised diet you will be into next year for your surgery date. You have to be proactive and the first place to start is with your insurance company.

way to go girlie!!! Such a great feeling!!! Congrats

rest, sip, walk...words to live by!!!

welcome to the boards we are glad to see you here.

I have screwed up something with my weight loss ticker and cant seem to get it back. Plus I hate the way it puts 3 decimal points :-(

only thing I can suggest is to send a pm to Alex and maybe he can direct you. I use my Iphone and laptop with no problems

have you tried chewing some gas x. That worked for me

I agree with what everyone has said so far. Its so important to get ahold of that mind!!! We have used food for everything to comfort us when we are sad happy indifferent. Have to find a new friend to be by our side. Its a hard tough battle but one that can be won!!

Hey Butterfly... welcome to the group. I had rny in Feb of this year and am down 125 lbs. It has been the greatest most rewarding experience of my life. This group is a wonderful source of support. No question is too stupid to ask. We are all here for you!!!

Good job Lil' Don!!!

You are in the home stretch now. You will look back on this wait (weight) as just a small little pit stop on to a better smaller you!!!

It was about 2 weeks when I started to get my energy back!! Hang in there

Congrats girlie, I know you want this more then anything.

Ok.. The under armor looks pretty impressive but at 60 bucks each... Ugh!!!

How to compete with what Dave just said... Can't but agree 100 percent. It is life changing and I feel so much better then I have in over 20 years. It's just the tool I needed to feel in control again!!!

congrats girl that is awesome!!

Hugs to you my dear!! I hope whatever is going on is going to get better before the end of 2012!!!

Have you got your date yet? Congrats!!

I never wore a binder after surgery. My husband had hernia surgery and he wore one for 2 days. Call your dr. They should be able to tell you.

good job honey!! What a great milestone!!

Sounds like a great way to get your protein in... I gave up coffee the day of my surgery so

Jeff, Have to agree with Vicki and Don. What point would it serve to say anything to anyone who is negative. It may make you feel good in the short term to tell them what you really think but it wont sway them to your side. Keep the positive flow going and just dont engage in any conversations with them about your surgery. Its such a life changing experience... dont let anyone tell you its not... I know for me it has changed my life.

congrats... 2013 is going to be a great year!!!

Girlie you look so pretty and happy!!!
