I've tried resale shops none of them want to buy plus size clothes.

I'm in the Houston, tx area and I have a bunch of jeans, some shirts and dresses ranging in size from 22-18. Most of the jeans were hardly worn. I'd like to get something for the items because I paid a lot for them but I'm gonna sell them pretty cheap $5-$10 for jeans $10 for dresses(only have a couple) and maybe $3 for shirts. Email me if you're interested in taking a look at why I have! Email- blondechcky@yahoo.com

I think we waited about 4 days. Once I was feeling up to it but we were still pretty gentle.

I use a heart rate monitor whenever I workout and it tells me exactly how much I burn.

Anyone can add me username callie_henry. I try to stay active. Don't have a ton of friends yet so always room for more.

I had the same when I would bend over I would fee really tight and if I did it too much the pain would last for a while. But I'm just under 3 weeks and no more problems like that. My port area gets a little sore when I lay different ways but that's it. I'm the toe to push myself too. I should be in tr mushy stage but I've been eating solids and chewing well all week with no issues. Everyone heals at different rates. Good job on the 12lbs!

I agree, I'm ready to get back to the gym doing weights. I feel like I'm ready but ill wait a little longer to finish healing. I haven't been in any pain since the week right after surgery.

I'm about 2.5 weeks post op and I've been working out since I could get up and move. Last weekend when I was right at 2 weeks I was walking and decided to jog some. No problems at all. But I'm also one to not follow drs orders and push myself haha. But still no issues.

I'm a hairdresser so I'm up moving all day long I took a total of 8 days. I was ready to go back then. After 3 days I would have died. For some reason for me on day 5 I was ready to get out so I went shopping but was still moving slow. By the time I went back I was feeling awesome! Everyone is different!

I do use mfp. My band isn't restricting I haven't even had a fill yet. I can only eat such tiny portions I'd literally have to eat all day long to get to 1000 calories. I'm trying to do better, I had my meals and a couple Snacks and I was around 797 before exercise, and I'm going to stay off the scale for at least a week to give my body some time to change. I'm still new to this stuff so I need to make it work to me. Also if anyone else is on mfp you can add me (callie_henry)

My problem is I don't have a problem with being hungry or over eating. But I'm barely getting any calories and I'm exercising and I'm not losing. I measure all my food. So something has to change right?

My nutritionist was very vague. They gave me a weekly plan for the first 4 weeks but only suggestions. No portion sizes or calorie goals. Right now I'm supposed to be in the mushy stage but I honestly don't see the point in sitting around eating all slider foods that don't satisfy me. I started eating boiled chicken and broccoli yesterday and just took tiny bites and chewed a lot and I've been fine. I'd just rather eat chicken then mashed potatoes so I'm just being careful and getting a lot of info from here. My surgeon is really laid back (soda is ok, drinking with meals is ok...) which I love about him because I'm the type to do my own research rather than follow a strict meal plan. I feel like I just need to find my right balance of calorie intake to lose the healthy way.

I'm having this issue too. When I eat how I'm supposed to I can only get to about a max of 600 calories before exercise. I had a "cheat day" and still only got up to about 1000 for the day before my exercise. I'm only about 2 weeks out but all last week I didn't lose at all. I kinda figured in the beginning if be losing fast and I seem to be stuck I can't tell if its because I'm eating too few calories or what. Is there a way to figure out your perfect number? I'm terrified to start eating more and gain, but that seems like the only way to start losing. This stuff is hard.

Good luck!!

Congrats!! And Happy Birthday!!
