********

Haven't had a real weigh in at the drs but I weighed myself for the first time today on my fairly accurate scale....268lbs before surgery 248lbs today! 3 BMI points!
I know not to expect this every week but its still very exciting.

I replied on this thread before surgery but just wanted to respond now based on my experience. I did not lose my sex drive at all... been up in about since 3 days post op, driving and back to work at 5 and back to the gym at a week so I figured sex would be fine last night (it was mainly my fiance who wanted to wait to make sure i was okay)...it was...and it was pretty rough. I am 10 days post op and have no pain.

Guess I was just over heated not dehydrated

I know I am late but I am guessing since there will be less cushion for the pushin then everything will be deeper...I am worried about this because currently my fiance and I are trying positions so it doesnt feel so deep (he has a big johnson and I was told by my gyno I have a short who-ha lol)

I had surgery on the 23rd (one week ago today) I just weighed myself for the first time today! Didn't think I lost a lot but lost 20lbs!! As long as you dont get addicted to the scale...I will weigh in once a week I think

Its so hard what choice to make...you are not the only one saying this. I think I will throw a little Protein powder into my Water now...dont tell my dr

I can't drink anything but Water and tea...everything else is way too sweet... and I used to have such a sweet tooth

Dont buy a lot because even though you love something now, your tastes may change temporarily after surgery. All my Protein shakes taste so sweet I plug my nose while drinking them and I used to love sweets.

I started getting overweight during puberty then obese and finally morbidly obese...because of this I dont have any adult skinny clothes (I'm 23). Can't wait to be able to shop

My fiance says they cover everything else with blankets...he said they dont want any distractions...I guess that was a compliment saying my body would be a distraction haha

Thanks guys ill ask tomorrow since the office is closed today...its not that important that I have to contact the on call doctor. I already walk about an hour per day (papers say to do at least a half an hour)...I may try later when my fiance gets home from work with him next to me in case he gets too much I can just drop the leash. I feel bad because we live in a condo and I'm used to taking him on jogs and to the dog park daily and my fiance has become somewhat of a single father lol

Thanks everyone! I am now on day 3 post op and feeling a LOT better than yesterday. I already have a NSV: I slept on the couch instead of the recliner! Tonight I will try sleeping in our bed. I did take pain meds since coming home but for me it is to curb the gas pains and help me sleep.< /p>

In recovery room and the foley is only thing causing pain...surgery was at 1:30 est

Heading home 24 hours after going into recovery room. Had to drink an ounce of Water per hour since noon. Very easy recovery so far.

You guys must be hanging out in the wrong places..who said bigger women dont get hit on?...I'm pre surgery and get more attention than my stick thin friends...honestly I wouldn't want attention from men who wouldn't give me attention now. You can't love me at my worst you sure as hell can't at my best...not that I think big is worst looks wise, just health wise. I think confidence is more where your getting attention from, you feel confident with your new body.

TMI...If he really cares he will understand...I had my tonsils out in January and I couldn't (u know) for a while because it hurt to put anything big near my insicion site. At least there are other ways to please him if you really arent in the mood lol.

I have acrylic French manicure and dr said its ok for surgery and during my pre op visit, the oxygen levels read fine

For my height a healthy weight would be anywhere between 130-170..I weigh 268 now so 100lbs plus...i'm aiming for about 120
