  1. Can't wait to hear about this! I'm 5 days post op and 11 lbs down but I'm sure it won't be this fast after a while.
  2. You and your sister chose the right doctor. I'm so happy with his surgery.
  3. It was great! Had mine with him last Thursday and he really is amazing at what he does. Already ten lbs down.
  4. You will do great! Just remember that at the end of the day it will all be worth it! I'm excited for you!
  5. Great idea! I'm going to try that with my birth control!
  6. I don't think any kind of leaking is safe. You should see your doctor ASAP.
  7. Hey guys! First and foremost I would like to thank everyone who have answered my threads when I was in need of support and guidance. The past 5 days have not been easy but totally worth it. I am officially down 8 lbs!!! I can already tell that my life is changing for the better. The pain was rough the first 3 days but I made it! Today was the first day I didn't use any pain meds and I'm just fine. I'm looking forward to continuing this part of my life. Thank you everyone for your support!
  8. Trust me you won't regret it a week from now. I just got my surgery last Thursday so that makes me 5 days post op. the first 4 days are the worse, at least to me, but it does get better and I'm already 8 lbs lighter. When the pain gets too extreme, pray and that will soothe you.
  9. If anyone is having problems with constipation, try Slim Fast. Trust me, it works!!! Also, I'm 5 days post op and 7 lbs lighter! And everyone was right, every day gets better
  10. Good question, I'm wondering the same thing.
  11. Thank you! Can you put the heating pads on top of your incisions?
  12. I'm 4 days post op and have severe pain on my stomach, chest, and back. Any suggestions to ease the pain? On another note, I'm 4 lbs down!
  13. Thank you, everyone!
  14. Awesome. Thank you!
  15. Is it ok to consume my liquids with crystal light? Or does it need to be pure water?
  16. Gas X strips work! Totally recommend them! Major difference on my pain scale!
  17. I'm jealous! I'm 4 days post op and going through pain. I know this will be worth it. I was gonna go back to work on Tuesday but I'm thinking I will be taking the whole week off.
