  2. Welcome to the club, Beloved! We are all here to support you!
  3. Do your best. There is no manual for any of this journey...and I sure wish there was!
  4. Have you tried increasing calories and exercise?
  5. lookin good, man! keep it up!
  6. Good Luck to you all! I am 6 and a half months out...life is soo different. I am so psyched for each of you!

  9. I waited 8 weeks and started lifting VERY slowly.
  10. I am 6 months out and still on my PPI...everyone is different, but heartburn is normal...I'll take the heartburn in exchange for the weight I've lost...good trade off for me...I'll keep popping my PPI every morning.
  11. i was the same on the urine and stomach sounds...all normal
  12. I only had pain for 24 hours after surgery, but I took 3 weeks off to adjust to my new life and give my body time to heal naturally. I just didn't want to rush back, but I had both vacation time and short term disability that kicked in, so I made more money being home than being at work..so..that was a nice treat, too..lol
  13. Fear is human. But we all had it and we all got through it. Remember WHY you are doing this....is it partially so that you can live a long life for your children? Focus there. If you have a religious/spiritual side, dwell there. Just know that once you are off that operating table, a whole new life awaits and we are all here to support you as you integrate into it. I'll see you when you cross the surgery finish line!
  14. Everyone is different. Just keep focusing on YOUR journey....at least that's what I tell myself!
  15. water water water water cardio cardio cardio cardio
  16. Welcome to the club...just keep doing what you're doing....it will come off..I promise...140 pounds in 6 months here
