I'm looking to meet up at the gym and such... :-)

God bless! Stay positive :-) I pray all goes well for you.

Once the weight comes off your health and confidence will improve! It doesn't matter about the excess skin. Once you fall in love with the right person they will look past those imperfections! Just take it one day at a time.

Tuesday I will be three weeks post- op! I had to be at the hospital at 5:30 in the morning. It was a little nerve wracking but once you get in your gown and they get the anesthesia in you...you'll be feeling relaxed!!I'm feeling like my old self again. The first few days were rough but you'll do fine. Make sure you have a buddy or two to help in and out of the hospital. Good luck and God bless.

No, I lost 56 pounds total...actually 60 now that I'm almost three weeks post-op. That combined my pre and post efforts. I have lost 25 since my surgery and the rest was pre-op. Yea, I'm starting to really notice the change in my middle. Very exciting. This week I'm going to step up the exercise...I'm finally meeting my nutritional goals and things are looking up. :-)

On Tuesday I will be three weeks post-op. Luckily I get six weeks to recoup. At the minimum I would suggest two weeks. The first week was rough. I spent most of my days in pain, resting and tryin to eat and get some walking in to keep my body moving. The second week I was still in pain but it was greatly reduced. My incision started leaking too..it does that in the healing process. Each day you get stronger and better...but I definitely think two weeks is best. Everyone's journey is different though. Good luck.

You will need two weeks minimum! After surgery you'll be weak and in lots of pain. You'll need time to rest and recoup. Not to mention you'll need time to learn how to eat and use your new stomach.

Thanks ladies! My highest size was a 30/32 and I was "stuffed" into it. Now they fit me better but just thought Id be out of it by now. I know I didn't put on this weight over night so I shouldn't expect to drop sizes over night. :-) it's encouraging to know I'm not the only one. All of you are inspirational!! Keep up the awesome work.

I'm officially two weeks post-op today and have lost 56 pounds with pre and post op combined. My frustration is I haven't dropped a clothing size yet. Very upsetting :'( it really puts a negative spin on things.

Trader Joes turkey chili. I pureed the whole can and divided into two portions. Very delish.

I haven't been out to eat yet as I'm only 2 weeks post- op tomorrow but I always keep Cracker Barrell in mind because they have lots of veggies like carrots and meshed potatoes that cash be easily mushed with a fork. Also their rainbow trout is delish and could probably be easily flaked and mushed.

You should be honest and let them know. It will give them time to adjust their schedules while you're gone. If they aren't understanding then look for a job while you recoup after surgery.

I had this same issue today! :'( I can barely sit down. From now on I'm using fiber supplements A.K.A Meta-Mucil and pureed fruits and veggies.
