My stomach was way noisy too a couple of weeks post op. I figured it was finally waking up and screaming, what the hell did you do to me? Lol

I know this sounds trivial in the list of things I can't wait for, but I can't wait to have smaller clothes that don't slip off my clothes hangers. So tired of cleaning up the bottom of my closet floor full of clean clothes.

Hit my goal last night! Very excited and surprised. Now going to shoot for 169 for my 40th birthday on the 17th!

V Day goal 306
Last week I lost 5, this week 3. I'm really happy with this since I stalled a lot around the holidays!
Whoohoo 2 more pounds! I'm so gonna crush this goal!!! May revise to 299! That would be a huge deal for me!

Feel so good about my after picture! I still need to loose 35 more. (hopefully, but at least 25) I am 3 months and almost 3 weeks post op. Not looking forward to summer clothes though. My arms are so baggy.
First picture was taken in March 2012 at at least 255, second pic taken 1/12/13 at 185

Amazing!! You are gorgeous! I am going to wear my arms with pride! I heard it takes 2 years for your skin to get where it will be, so we all might have to wear sleeves for a while! But you look amazing!

I did too, you will be fine. I agree with Ortega though, don't over do it! Once a day or less with something is modest. My nut said I could have a 1/4 cup of almonds once a day for the first three days if I needed to chew something. Totally helped me curve my cravings. Good luck, you can do it!

Ok so finally had surgery yesterday so I can join in the fun!
Highest weight 268.6
Surgery weight 228.9
Goal weight 218.0
I have no idea how fast or slow I'm going to lose right away, so I'm just picking a good number.
So I'm already down to 209.2 so with 8 days to go, I would like to get down to 204. I'm losing fairly slowly so don't want to shoot for the moon.

Wow, I wouldn't have stayed to eat with him either. I would have gone shopping with my daughter and bought myself a lovely size smaller top, on his credit card!

Target and Walmart sell individual bats so you can try a bunch of different ones.

Glad ur on the road to recovery and have an amazing attitude! As for understanding what happened, u as the patient have every right to request a copy of ur operative report (from the hospital) & i would... it might not answer every question but it can give u a general idea of the flow if things & then u will have an idea of what, if any, questions u need to ask ur surgeon... Best of luck to u!

Speechless.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and nothing but the best.
Based upon your anesthesiologist's behavior, perhaps you should seek legal advice. Just sayin'...

Looking good! Keep it up!

I made it! 189.6! I usually weigh myself at night and decided to jump on the scale this morning. Woo hoo! Now onto my goal of 175 for my 40th birthday in February.
