1. Be able to fit a towel around me 2. Stop hearing "you have such a pretty face" 3. Boys giving me the time of day 4. Water park/beach/bathing suit 5. Falling not being as embarrassing... know what I mean? 6. No more chaffing 7. Not being embarrassed at how huge my clothes/underwear looks off my body 8. Not sweating all the time 9. No more panting because I went up one flight of stairs 10. No more wearing a cardigan every single day (in florida!) because I hate my fat arms - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

I'm post op and can't imagine it coming off either. I've lost 26 lbs but am waiting for the weight to stop coming off because me being thin just doesn't seem like it could happen in reality - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

I had a very hard time using my stomach muscles to sit up from my bed and really anything abdomen related like coughing hurt. Walking made the pain less noticeable, though for about 2 weeks I was holding the left side of my stomach while standing/walking because it hurt not to (mind you I later found out I had an infection on my left side so that could have been the culprit) - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Is this level of anemia normal? - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Though I've heard of many people gaining 20 lbs after losing all the weight - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

After a year or so people tend to eat larger quantities and less healthy, you have to eat the way you did when you first got out of surgery (low carb) - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

I had a little bit of fruit juice mixed with a few blackberries and 1/2 a banana and a little milk with my Calcium powder blended with ice and half way through my drink I had to keep myself from vomiting at work for 25 mins today - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

I hope this doesn't offend because I mean it in the nicest way possible but if you don't mind me asking how come he only lost 100lbs in 4.5 years? - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

You can not mix solids and liquids. Only broth - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Anemic due to surgery? - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

I've been told by many people that post-op you are no longer hungry and have to remind yourself to eat. This is not the case for me at all, every 2 hours or so after eating i'm starving! Some people say it's head hunger but it sure doesn't feel mental since my stomach is growling like a beast inside me. I eat about 80g of.protein daily so that's not the issue. It scares me how often i feel the need to eat post op - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

What are the nutritional benefits of carnation instant breakfast, if any? - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

So cool to see someone my age on here (will be 21 aug 6) congrats on your success! Mind if I ask what your loose skin situation is? - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Almost everyone I know that has had the surgery loses a lot (if not too much) and ends up gaining like 20lbs back - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

That is actually an awesome idea. I'd do it but would be way too scared to have a visible tattoo in the job field i'm going in to. Would be hard to get hired - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Pretty sure you are 100% not allowed any starches - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

I went to work after 3 weeks (Starbucks), could drive after a week (keep in mind the seat belt will lay against your incisions) and for pain I was given liquid lortab and while in the hospital was given dilaudid (will save your life) because morphine did nothing for me - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

You look goooood, congrats. Ps you have the cutest dog ever - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

Omg you're in an f'ing bikini! Jealous!!!! So no loose skin then? - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12

The other day i was eating brie and thought it was the most delicious thing on the planet, but today I'm eating it and think it's kinda gross. Is this normal for tastes to change like that? I've heard of them changing pre-op to post-op but not day-to-day - Kaylee Ann ~ Surgiversary: 6/11/12
