Starting weight 264 Day of surgery 243 Today 198

Day of surgery August 8th 244 today 198

1. To say that I hit onderland this week! 2. That my hubby can wrap his arms around me and actually overlap his hands! 3. That for the first time in my adult life I could walk into Victoria secret and buy a bra!!! ( it's awesome btw!) 4. I can cross my legs while sitting like a lady. 5. I can actually wrap the towel around me when I get out of the shower lol There are sooo many more but I thought this would be an amazing thread for the pre sleevers to read to help motivate them!! Help me out and add some more:)

I LOVE to hear all of these! And to all pre sleevers--- scale victories are great but in my opinion the non scale ones are even better!! I hope this helps just one person to be more motivated and brighten there spirits if they are down!

It is definitely in my top ten milestones! I've been wearing big 'ol lane Bryant bras for almost my whole life! And the bra is worth the money!!!

Me too!! When I went in and got measured I felt like a queen!!! It was so unreal

You look great!!! Congrats

I am 10 weeks post op today! Surgery date august 8th. Time has flown by and I can tell you newbies that the first couple of weeks absolutely suck!!! But it does get easier here's my stats with some pics. I am 5'5 starting weight was 254 I had a four week pre op diet and was down to 243 the day of surgery. Today I am 208!!!!! That's 46lbs people!!!! That's me on the left in may of this year This pic was last weekend

I also had to do opti fast for 4 weeks and cried a out it at least twice a week! I feel your pain and I've been there. I can't really tell you it got easier for me but more like a routine and I just delt with it. It will fly by and in 2 months you will have forgotten about it . Good luck

Not constantly but ya know when you just wanna take a big gulp of a drink? Well it hurts if if I do it now. I was a BIG diet dr pepper drinker( like 6 cans a day) before surgery and now I have completely cut that out.

I know right!!!! I took this pic and about peed my pants I was so happy 

Thank you . I feel GREAT! 12 lbs is a great loss! And it keeps getting better

The hardest thing was knowing the difference between being hungry and head hunger. And not being able to take big swigs of drink. I know everyone says this but honestly it gets easier and goes by so quick!

Thank you for the kind words! I haven't been under 200 lbs in 10 years! You will be there before you know it!!!

Thank you

The headache and being sluggish will go away in a couple of days! Chin up you can do this. Btw I could have as many pickles on my pre op diet as I wanted. Just be careful bc they have lots of salt and that can make you gain water weight

How are you doing so far? My first couple of weeks were not fun but very worth it
