********

So an update (because i hit the 2 week mark): Week 1: 20lbs Week 2: 6lbs

I love mirena. .. no side effects really for me because the hormones are centralized. I haven't had kids yet so its a good choice regardless of what stage of life your in.

Just the extreme weight loss changes it...I am on mirena too and didn't get my period for years until last week (my first week post op) it was because of my quick weightloss

This is somewhat irrelevant but how long do you have to be on here to get the tagline "your hippie uncle" ? Lmao

Yogurt is now allowed in my diet...can I do sugar free frozen yogurt? I can even add some protein powder in there

So I just had surgery so I am no where near the point of needing plastics right now...however my insurance (under my mom is allowed until I'm 26) is very good insurance. ..it paid for my entire VSG and will pay for a tummy tuck and breast augmentation if needed after surgery and weight loss. Most insurances pay for some if any of plastics. I was just curious if anyone did a tummy tuck before having kids? Ive seen many people have kids then work back to their original size (and by original I mean pre kids at goal weight)

You look amazing

It will be 2 weeks tomorrow and still haven't felt hungry. ..obviously I eat (well drink) because I have to but really no hunger.

I got the go ahead whenever I felt up to it.. I called my doc at 5 days post op and was back at the gym at day 6...obviously I'm taking it easy though

I am a week and a half out and a all the actual incisions are healed...just some redness where the incisions were

I am in the same boat as you as i lost a significant amount of weight the first week (21 lbs)but only weigh once per week so I wont weigh again til thursday. I have been told you may lose a lot in the beginning because your body is adjusting and then it is a little at a time. Even though I havent weighed myself yet this week I know I'm not losing 20lbs this week...wouldn't that be nice though?

And I can get my arm workout in :-)

Thanks!! I used to buy the ones at walmart because of their subtle flavor and cannot find any flavored water I like...everything tastes too sweet!

I know no soda but is sparkling water bad too?

Not everyone has nausea post op. I didn't have any issues like that.

I had surgery May 23rd. Was off pain meds and discharged the next day. I only slept in the recliner for 2 nights and took some tylenol for the gas pains in my shoulder. I slept in my bed on my belly after that with no pain. I walked about a mile per day for the first week, was back to driving and work after 5 days and was back to working out after a week. I went to a concert after 8 days and danced and jumped around like everyone else, just drank water instead of beer. I am now 12 days out and am feeling great! Only restriction I currently have is no swimming or baths.

You were one of the few who wasnt. I guess you are right about being emotional post surgery because I never cry over stuff like this...guess its just hitting me now. I am unsubscribing to this thread anyhow.

Thank you all for making fun of my post enough to put me in tears...the sarcastic "you all are off topic " comments and the fact that it doesnt matter because it is a rant. I am now unsubscribing to my own thread and pretty close to unsubsribing to the entire forum. .. I'm really not a mean person but when someone gives me an attitude I am not gonna sit back and watch it. Thank you ladies...you have reminded me of why I do not have many female friends.

My mistake you did answer. ..I guess it was over shadowed by the other people asking me why I haven't lost weight. Kinda a little touchy subject for me since i obviously wanna know the same thing. ..but I feel I answered it well about 4-5x on this thread.
