My surgery was in 6/4. My weight then was 245. I am currently 198. Surprises....
1. Gas pain was worse than incision pain... Hot liquids, gas x and walking helps.
2. Hormones.... They start to go a bit crazy as they release from the fat. Ride it, try to remember why you did this. Trust me, each day is like my life is starting new. I am so happy
3. Burping and farting.... Lol
4. Runny nose
5. You must drink as much Water as possible, sip, sip all day
6. Stalls... You will hit one at about 4 wks. Just stick with the program, it will happen more than once.
7. Take measurements... You will be amazed
I love the new me and I am only 3 months out. I have lost 47 lbs, the men are coming out of the wood work, and I truly think this was the best thing I have ever done. It is not easy, use this forum. We are all here for you, good luck !!!

In our 10 years together I have never weighed less than my husband until now!!!!! And he made this goal even harder because he has lost 25-30 lbs himself since I started this whole process!!!!

I love all of you, and we are a great group !!!

I'm chiming in since there seems to be too much fun going on in here. Go away for a few and geesh you miss it all. Kevin starts a neat thread and now we're at spanking? I'm game. hahaha
Honestly, I think it's great folks get a boost in confidence. We've lived long enough beating ourselves up and putting up with others helping with the beating. I'm looking forward to the day that I "like" having my picture taken or I'm not embarrassed because the pose isn't right or my chins stick out too far. This surgery is far from the easy way out to say the least. I've had my struggles since mine on 7/11 and it's a learning process even though I researched things like crazy before, during and after. The ups and downs of worrying is this going to work for me etc. Heck, still going through all of it but, it's encouraging to be here and read the positive and yup the negative things about the whole process.
I think it's great to be able to look in the mirror and say "Hey, I like the new look and healthier me." Looking forward to it myself and this is encouraging
Thanks Kevin for putting it out there, DL waiting for your pictures (says Tinkerbel LOL) and working with everyone here on our journeys. Go FOR IT!

Hey DL, you encourage us all, teach us to love ourselves and then you go on talking about scaring small kids.. Self derogatory doesn't work with us, we've all done that. Take that mug shot, I think we are all gonna love you!

Lol you guys are hilarious! I love it! What a fun forum we are, right?! Lol!

Now Mami, no need to get your jammies in a bunch! Lol!!

I agree, for someone who can build excel spreadsheets , quote the web, and keeps everyone informed, you must have the technology
To get a pic up sooner than a few weeks. Be like Nike....... Just do it !!!

Thanks so much. Surgery was 6/19. I've lost almost 50 pounds. Went from a size 30 to a 26. Still a Long way to go, but I feel so good now at 50 years old.:-)

Kevin I am so right there with you and honestly - it has nothing to do with conceit. It is so amazing, so exciting, such a boost to your self-esteem. I don't know about you but I fully intend to keep looking in that mirror and I hope the elation never stops!!

I keep saying I'm going to get my pic up and I never seem to be able to find the time to get it done. Got to get together with my son and see if I can get some shots!

Baby girl, I have been watching your progress and you are doing great !!! Keep up the good work !!!

I am almost 3 months post op (6/4 surgery). I have lost 47 lbs, I am 3-4 sizes down, slimmest I have been in 20 years. Seems so surreal !!! I can dance without losing my breathe and I have so much energy finally that my body can move as fast as my mind... I used to pretend I was just a body experiment gone bad, god has finally begun to hear my prayers and let the world see what a beautiful person I am now !!!

the day after surgery they took me back in because of a leak. then on the 11 the found an abcess. on my spleen. then i had fluid around my lungs and had to have a chest tube..not fun... lol but thank god im home now and hopefully it just gets better and better each day.

I agree to !!! Come on dl
