LovinIt

Down 108 lbs in 6 months. Went from size 52 (tight) to 42 ( soon to be 40 ) waist. 3 or 4x shirt to XL.
Salvation Army and me are best friends now.

No judging here, just don't let it derail you, don't dwell on it, move on, tomorrow is another day. You are human after all. I just think we have to not have the old mindset of "i blew it, I might as well do it some more" nope we can't do that. It will happen again. But again don't let it get you so down on yourself. Sending you so much positive thoughts.

Mine wanted 5 weeks, so I took it. It helped me get my mind right about eating before I went back to work ( where a lot of bad eating habits got started)
Good luck to all you "LOSERS"

I will certainly keep the memory and will not be making this mistake again

The pain will pass but keep the memory.

I was told that when i switched to and could tolerate "normal" foods I could take pills. That was about 2 months for me. I,ve not had any problems yet.

Way to go, I'm happy for you.
As far as the pain, the 1st 2 days were a little rough. That was mainly due to the gas and bloating from the injected air.
I had a little discomfort when I was released but nothing too bad. I actually never opened the pain medication they sent me home with.
You'll be fine and whatever pain you do experiance is well worth it. I don't remember the pain but I do remember the 90 + lbs. I've lost.
The best of luck to you.

Stalls are all part of the process. Perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Stay focused on following the protocol, stay active and stay away from the scales for at least a week and two would be even better if you can stand it. You're gonna love the new you!!

I tell people who ask or comment on my weight loss. I am very proud of myself. It took a lot of courage to take this step. I am healthier now than I ever was before surgery. And sometimes letting people know about my surgery makes it easier to get what I need for myself.

I TOLD EVERYBODY! I'M HAPPY TO HAVE THIS SURGERY! VERY PROUD TO MAKE THIS BIG CHANGE IN MY LIFE!!!

I tell everybody that will listen. To me, it's no different than being treated for any other condition. When I get a toothache, I go to the dentist and get it fixed.
I had one co-worker who I haven't seen in a while ask me what happened, how much weight have you lost, how long did it take and how did you do it?
This one I told, "well I've been doing a lot of dancing". She gave me a odd look and walked away. Oh well.

Good Luck

I kept 1 pair of pants and 1 shirt so I could do a befor and after pic.
After that I'll use the pants to make a tent for the kids.

They look great. I will try this.
I wondered what awarded meant. lol

I don't think anyone is on this site to judge. But if we tell people only what they wanted to hear, we really would not learn anything! It's important to share your story so someone else may be able to learn from your mistakes. It would be helpful to know what / why you ate it just in case someone else is having the same thoughts or feelings. No judgements - just another way to help!

Wow that blows me away.
Why would you have you insides cut, twisted and moved around and then eat 2 pcs. of pizza and a empanada 2 weeks out?
I don't feel full or hungry as of yet, so I weigh and measure everything that goes down the pipe.
When I first hit these forums. I read a post from a woman stating " she was amazed that she could still eat a whole 6 inch sub in one sitting"
I was amazed that she would try.
Glad to see your back on track. We've all been through too much to fall back into bad habits.
Good luck and keep up the good work.
Sorry for the preach.

Are you getting enough Protein and eating the Protein first?
My Nut pounds that into my head all the time. The protein releases some sort of hormone that tells our head that we're full.
Hope this helps.
