  1. Oh Em Gee... I am so with you on this. My boobs use to be the shit, now they're shot! Totally with you on that saggy ball thing. I damn near pee'd my pants laughing in agreement reading that. Before my surgery I was rock'n a 44DD... I breast fed all 4 of my kids 21, 11, 9 and 2 all until they were 2 years old. Now after surgery I'm no longer a 44DD... I'm stuck with these 35B's!!! And hell yeah I said a B cup.... I ain't been a B cup since birth. Talk about depressed! LOL I gotta laugh to keep from crying.. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---

  4. Please remind me again why we shouldn't drink coffee with caffeine? ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---
  5. Whatever you do... Get back to drinking the shakes. Your body needs it up until 12 to 18 months. If you want a nice snap back look you need your shakes... Among other reasons as well. Those people that have that "its obvious you has gastric bypass look" went of their shakes and/or Vitamins . I've tried a numerous amount if shakes. My fav is Blue Bonnet. Freakn delicious. If anything try and have 1 shake after you work out... Your body needs the Protein to rebuild... Plus,it also helps to tone and build sexy muscles. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---

  10. Let your Haters be your Motivaters! Trust me... My sex life was already steamy but not... Whew! It's on and POP'n like it was during the time we first started dating... And my clothes... I hated those fat girl shirts that tie in the back.. now I'm rocking the Jr's. I even went shopping at Forever 21, and Rue 21 and picked up a few sexy panties from Vicky Secrets... ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op.

  11. I tell you newbies..you guys should sip on warm or hot decaf tea. It'll help you guys get use to drinking and tolerating liquids. Then start to make it cooler then colder as the days and weeks go on. I'm now 4.5 months post op and I can tolerate any temp and I can kill a Water bottle off during my 30 mins workout. I've even drank up to 3 water bottles during a 60 min hike The more and more you drink.. the easier it becomes. I promise you that! ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---
  12. I think I have you all beat.. my Dr has me on 10 mg of Ambien and 50 mg of trazadone to.be taking together at bed time. LOL and yes... It will knock me out BUT I only stay sleep for maybe 3 to 4 hours... Then I'm bored and claim to be hungry munching on watermelon. I have insomnia so bad at midnight I was up and working out with some Billy Blanks doing Tae Bo. Now its 2am... I was hoping to be beat tired and fall asleep on my own but I see I need my sleeping pills. I think I might take my Ambien now and then my Trazadone if I wake back up. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op.

  14. Sounds like you should see your psychologists not your surgeon. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---
  15. I take prescription BUT during the times I run out I do take unisome. It sucks most of the time but helps the other half. I do find benedryl works much much better. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---
  16. I'm 4.5 months post op and I'm just now able to handle chicken and turkey. I still can't do ground beef... But I can do premium steak. Chicken just didn't go down right and it didn't even taste good. What I did notice is I'm able to eat marinated chicken tho and also oven roasted. It has to be super super moist. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---
  17. After my surgery... When I woke up I would start my day out with hot tea. It really seemed to help with starting my drinking off. Since it was warm u was only able to sip it and since it tasted so delicious.. I kept at it and sometimes made a 2nd or third cup in the morning. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---
  18. To be honest you don't really need anything except.. House shoes Change of clothes Favorite pillow Shampoo & conditioner Everything else you'll get at the hospital. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op.

  19. Most definitely. I've been using wrist weights since a week after surgery and I work my arms out during my walks or with Tae Bo and my arms look amazing. No loose skin at all. My inner thighs are a little loose and my belly. Focusing on that right now. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 4.5 mons post op.

  20. LLLLOOOLLL... OMG ME TOO! I stalled the entire month as well and at the same darn weight too. I was starting to get a little depressed thinking that was the end of my journey. Even tho I don't really end to lose more but the fact that I still have like 7 months to my 1 year annivetsay I don't want to sit on a stall that darn long again. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op.

  21. I'm almost 5 months post op and I FINALLY got to enjoy a salad. I've tried it a few times and my stomach just wasn't having it. ~Leticia **HW: 259**PreOp: 216**SURG: 3/21/13 **Discharged @: 221** 3 mons post op. CW: 160.0 lbs. --- Only 10 lbs to my goal ---
