Wow...you're doing great for having surgery so recently! Men always lose faster tho. Fact of life. I had the same problem as you but adding fiber helped. Good luck & congratulations on such a rapid loss!

Wow! You are one sexy mama! You look fabulous!! Thanks so much for sharing! I'm a slow loser & even my doc said I seem to need some sort of kick start to my metabolism but due to a knee that needs to be replaced, I'm not doing that great in exercising. I walk just over 1/4 mile per day, which isn't much but it's a HUGE change for me since I couldn't walk more than 3 houses before I lost a little weight. I'm just plowing forward tho in the meantime. Congratulations on your achievement! -
Aww...just look at how adorable you are! Your hair looks great!

Date night with my hubby
Pixie Dust replied to planetheather's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
What a wonderful date night! -
Just to follow up....I had my surgery at Troy Beaumont with Dr. Krause, & I have nothing but glowing remarks about the hospital, as well as the doctor! I'm glad I changed facility & doctor.

Nsv: here's hoping my clothes are too tight!
Pixie Dust replied to gamergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well unfortunately for me, instead of being happy, I've been sad. I have nothing that fits me right. My regular clothes are all too big so I went in my wardrobe closests in the basement & found I only saved my fancier stuff when I grew out of them years ago. I have such gorgeous sequined party dresses, which even if I do get into them again, we don't go anywhere. Can't afford to. That is also the reason I'm still wearing my pants which I have to keep pulling up (along with my underwear, since that's also slipping) because I only had 2 pairs of jeans I had saved when they didn't fit me anymore but now they're too big also. So I walk around constantly pulling up my pants & it's so uncomfortable. I'm afraid to go to the thrift store to buy clothes now because I've been reading that lots have a bed bug infestation. Just what I'd need....bring home clothes with bed bugs! Anyway, it's not a happy time for me either. I'm glad I'm losing weight, even if it is slowly but now it's a clothes issue. -

Waiting for my surgeon my time has come
Pixie Dust replied to symoned29's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
You're going to be fine! I just prayed for you to have courage. I know I was nervous too but it turned out to be a simple surgery for me! Hope it is for you as well! (((HUGS))) -

I'm Afraid of Bread...
Pixie Dust replied to AmandaRaeLeo's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm 2.5 months out & I have no problems eating anything. I wish I couldn't get pasta or bread down! Therefore, it's back to abstaining from both & I adore both. I'm Italian so pasta is "my" thing. Selfish me can't even make it for my family anymore since I want it too. Don't be upset that you can't eat "evil" food ~ haha! That's what I call it now! -
Terrified to tell Mother/MIL about WLS. Need suggestions.
Pixie Dust replied to MetroDetroitChic's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OMGosh, I just noticed you're having Dr. Krause do your surgery! You're going to just ***love*** him! He's so kind, sweet & gentle! Which "B" hospital are you having the surgery at? R.O.B. or T.B.? I had mine at T.B. & it was a nice experience (except for the crazy woman I had next to me who screamed all night & didn't let me rest! Thankfully they moved me to another room with the sweetest 97 y/o woman!) -

Pixie Dust replied to MetroDetroitChic's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't have any suggestions, just want to wish you both good luck. I chose not to tell anyone except my BFF who lives in another state, as well as an aunt & another cousin (who don't know each other & both of them also live out of state.) The only regret I have is telling that one cousin because every time we talk or she emails, the first question is "how much have you lost?" I still hate that question, like the integrity of the person I am is measured by my weight or how much I've lost. I'm going to say something to her soon about this because I resent her asking all the time. Anyway, in your case, it does sound like not telling or waiting till you're headed to the hospital is the best way to go. I just told people I was having hernia surgery. I'm losing slowly so no one is the wiser. I'm still thrilled! Good luck to you & with your decison!
