    Aw thanks everybody! We are so excited! He waited till after my surgery almost 2 months after to propose so he could do it on vacation , my first time being able to enjoy my summer without pain. So that was great timing. I was 32 lbs down when he asked and feeling so much healthier . Glad he waited to do it now than before surgery

    1 week out

    Red_lips_and_confidence replied to Tiffanie623's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I wouldn't, it'll probably hurt you. Too early. Your main focus always should be protein protein protein. These early stages are very important for getting protein in, your healing and your body is getting very little compared to before. Make that your main focus and try it down the road.

    What’s the Most Awkward Part of WLS?

    Red_lips_and_confidence replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

    Awkward hmmmm...probably constant protein farts :-P ....nothing has been really akward...but people who don't know me ask well why didn't you just work out with a trainer first ? No crap like I didn't try that and everything else under the sun. Makes me wanna punch someone . Cause weightloss surgery is totally an easy way out says NO ONE who is going through it .

    Not losing post op?

    Red_lips_and_confidence replied to judy vsg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Totally normal! It's the dreaded stall. I lost 11 lbs my first week...2nd week NOTHING. I WENT UP AND DOWN 1lb didn't lose until week 3... I'm almost to week 4 and down 21 lbs.
