Surgery 10/22 SW 239. Down 25lbs CW 214 Pretty happy so far

I am 2 wks post op and I was talking about wanting to be a size 6 or in the 130's to my sister in law. She tells me that is too small for me and don't think I would look good. It just pissed me off. I'm 5'2" and currently 223. I'm pretty sure this would be an ok size for me. I'm sure she wouldn't like it if I told her her sz 4x is too big!

It will probably happen again after too. I started a week early and then 5 days after my surgery. I have an IUD and usually don't have one. Us girls just lucky I guess.

Post op day 3: I've been up an hr and I'm already feeling more like a normal person. When can we swallow pills crushed is disgusting?

Just got home last night. I'm having some nausea and the gas is so annoying. My stomach is a little sore but probably better than others since I slept on my stomach part of the night. So hard to drink these fluids

I can't find it at my WM. Will look a bigger one.

Random I know, but does jello make a sugar free blue jello?

Tuesday for me too! Thank God my dr didn't do the 10 day clears. 1 days clears starts rt now!!

This is a relief to me. I only rated labor an 8 at the highest. I've never had any surgery so I can do a 4 with pain meds

I will be the big 3 0 6 days post op. I will just celebrate my 3 annual 29th bday next year...lol

Good to know my dr Rx this too. My surgery is Tuesday. This is the first time I will be put under....little nervous

I'll let you all know if my ass turns out like this. I'll even post pics of it....lol #agirlcanalwaysdream

Things I will not miss...... 1) having to wear long shorts so my thighs don't chafe 2) not wearing knee high boot 3) wearing ugly bras 4) not being able to borrow clothes from my friends 5) the struggle to shave my legs in the shower 6) leaving clothing stores crying or just pissed off 7) sweating while getting dressed and doing my hair and make up

My husband has verbally came around to my surgery 1 week prior. I know he has a fear I'm gonna get skinny and leave him. We've been together for 13 years, since I was 16. I was never skinny but now I'm 60lbs heavier. Has anyone else had to deal with their husbands insecurities?

So glad I found this thread. My surgery is the 22nd and I only have 1 day preop clear liquids. I haven't been gouging but I've been making sure every meal is one of my favorite foods.

Thanks so much

Started running 2 months before my surgery. Let me tell you it's not easy but I have pushed though the shin splints. I really like running I'm sick of shin splints and hoping will ease up and I will get faster after being sleeved. I can run 2 miles now without a break and did a 5K last month(not fast at all). How much easier is it getting for all you post opers?

They are very good but lots of sugars and carbs!

What can I expect for hair loss? Is there something I can eat to prevent it? How far post op does it usually occur?

I wanted to keep mine quiet but I can't keep a secret at all especially my own. I wish I wouldn't have told anyone but my mom and my husband! I was afraid people would think I am taking the easy way out but now I know it's not the easy way.

I was just wondering how much extra skin I should anticipate. I will get sleeved a week before my 30th B-day and I would like to loose about 110lbs.
