Good lord man! You are DOING IT! Your fitbit stats are proof :-)

Thank ya kindly ma'am!

I'm 10 weeks post op and having the same problem. At first I thought I had super enhanced smelling abilities after the surgery, but noooooooo. I'm just stankin' more than usual. It has made me super self conscious, eventhough I brush my teeth and shower multiple times a day. I keep waiting for it to go away, but not sure how long this lasts.

Posted to wrong August sleevers thread earlier. So apologies for the repeat. Sleeved 8/19 down 31 from surgery (41 from preop). Seems impossible but I SWEAR most of it has been in my waist and upper body. Anyone else have that problem? Glad to be losing period, but beginning weight training to "encourage" lower body loss. Hope it works

Hope this picture shows up. Sleeved on 8/19 and down 31 since surgery (42 since preop). It seems like I've lost nearly all my weight in my waist and upper body. Began intensive lower body strength training to firm and "encourage" some loss there! Glad to see everyone doing well!

Lol it's 1GorgeousGodzilla. Here's a link to my most recent video discussing my favorite things post op. Just uploaded it as a matter of fact.

Looks like you are doing a great job and I can definitely tell a difference In your waist line! I think we are loosing in the same pattern. Pants aren't falling off me yet, but my silhouette has a definite "S" curve going on now

You really should consult with your doc on that one, but my doc told me NO to the elliptical for 4 weeks if I remember correctly.

I am able see the pics and there are changes, most notably in your waist. In the fist pic, your breasts and belly are almost on the same plane. In the second picture your belly is waaay behind your boobs. its hard to see changes in ourself, but they are there. Unfortunately my top half is the first place I'm losing significant inches.

I'm an attorney and the only people that have asked what was I out for are my fellow attorneysq for the most part. The environment Im in daily is one of "friendly competition"-minus the friendly part. The few people I was friends with beforehand knew as soon as I had a surgery date. I have no desire to share any information whatsoever with these other Johnny-come-lately's. and it's not due to shame- I'd be the same way if they asked my shoe size or what I did last weekend. Oddly enough everyone else I see just says I look great. It's no secret that I work out several days a week, so I'm guessing that's what most attribute it to.

Have you called them to find out your status? After two weeks I would certainly do so. I found out I was approved over the phone and had my surgery date scheduled by the time they finally got around to mailing a letter.

There is a tread on here with other sleeved fitbit people, but feel free to add me if you need friends. I'm jslindzy@hotmail.com. I have a flex and luuuuuve it

My doctor put abdominal surgery on all my paperwork, so it could be hernia, fibroids, heck even gall bladder for all anyone knew. Thus far, I've been able I get away with saying I Had a surgery that should help me with my back pain (and surprisingly it has). However there is ALWAYS ONE that just said what exactly did you have. At that point I acted outraged and said "I can't believe you just asked me that, but if you MUST KNOW I had abdominal surgery of a delicate nature to help with back pain and I not discussing this further". That has shut it down. I work in a pit of vipers and don't have time for their negativity. I'm not ashamed that I had the surgery, but my work environment is not the most Conducive for sharing, shall we say.

Looking good! And the difference between the first and last Pic is amazing

I started back on salads at 6-7 weeks postop and have tolerated them well thus far

You are DOING IT and look great. Keep it up!

Thanks for posting the picture. That costume is HAWT!! But my flexees sometimes has that weird "line" mid thigh depending on what I'm doing. So my recommendation has changed to something along the lines of the spanx hide and sleek full body suit or the high waisted footless (maybe they are called high falutin'??) to give you a sleeker line. Luckily spanx has that assets line that is sold at target because those full bodysuits can get pricey.

I wish I knew a bit more about the costume itself, but would a flexees singlet work? They are comfortable, smooth things out, and typically found in Walmart and department stores. Hope that helps

I almost always go to the kids menu first. Then I check out appetizers. If nothing take my fancy or is nutritionally sound, I hit up the soup and/or salad selections.

You look great! That wad o'cash looks pretty good as well . . . .

I drink my water through a straw. Every day. BOOM!

I'm so excited for all of you guys! Nerves are understandable, but I believe that once it's all said and done, you will be so happy you did it! Praying for complication free surgeries and speedy recoveries.

Bigcountryab I almost didn't recognize you with clothes on :-) I'm digging the new look BTW!
