  10. Here is mine I'm 10 months post op, my biggest at a size 24 and then at my smallest I have ever been, I wear a size 9 and the first time I've ever worn a dress :-) [ATTACH]20364[/ATTACH]
  11. My surgeon said that it sometimes takes about 6 months to be regular again, but I'm well over 6 months now lol
  12. I'm a little over 8 months post op, I'm currently on the pill, but my cycles are still so irregular, its soo annoying! I used to be regular on time every month. Is anyone else going through something similar?
  13. Thanks u guys, I've been reading about it and I read the part about caffeine, I'm gna have to try bc I love coffee so much, it's going to be hard.. and it almost makes sexy time a bit awkward and uncomfortable! :-(
  14. I'm 8 months post op, and for the last 3 weeks my boobs hurt soo much.. I went to the doctor today and she told me I have fibrocystic breast, bc of all the weight I lost, and my boobs went down a lot in size.. has anyone else gone through this so far? If so, is there anything you did for the pain?
  15. I was about the same unfortunately it didn't matter that I was getting all my protein, biotin and fish oil capsules in! LOL I still lost A LOT of hair, but it will grow back.. I'm 8 months out and I'm happy to see regrowth, I have a bunch of baby hairs all over my head lol
  16. I started losing my hair about a month post op, it felt like I was losing so much I even clogged my shower drain from all my hair falling off in the shower, it does get better though, I noticed it kind of slow down at 5 months out, I'm now 8 months post op and I'm finally getting regrowth, I can see little baby hairs all over my head lol
  17. LOL! I'm sorry I dont mean to laugh at u, I just remember me being the same way. When I came home the first couple of days I saw soo many food commercials and I couldnt have any! It does get better bc u discover that u actually don't need any of it :-)
  18. Try some warm tea, I remember water was hard for me to keep down without having that annoying pain, but tea seemed to help :-)

  23. I'm 18 weeks tomorrow, I took my before picture at 235 lbs, one week before my surgery, today's picture I'm at 178 lbs :-) when I had surgery I wore a size 18 and today I wear a size 13, I've never been this small in my life! Lol [ATTACH]11559[/ATTACH]
  24. I was prescribed heart burn meds, and it did help, but yes warm liquids helped a lot too.
  25. During ur preop diet theres a period in which u stop taking ALL medications cold turkey, it also helped me not build a tolerance to the better pain meds when I was in the hospital. My doctor cleared me for nsaids after 3 months, but honestly like everyone else has said I'm never in pain anymore, every so often when I do get a headache I just take Tylenol and it actually does help right away, when before I used to laugh at Tylenol bc it didn't do crap for me whatsoever lol
