  1. Thanks for the advice!!! I would be happy with whatever weight i get to because im going to be more healthy. Was just wondering was that possible. I see anything is possible
  2. I had surgery 11/5/12. My starting weight was 415 im now 355. Ive lost 60 pounds. I was in a size 28 not sure what size i am now because i refuse to buy new clothes just yet lol. Im wondering is it possible for someone my size to ever get down to a size 10?? Thats my goal size. Looking for people that were near or above 400 lbs to start.Anyone out there?? If so give me some advice on how you did it? Thanks amd happy new year everyone!!!!! :-)
  3. I lost 25 lbs on my pre op liquid diet. I could eat pickles, protein shakes, ff jello, fruit, and ff broth. It was terrible but it worked. U can do it!
  4. Ive found that the only water that tastes good post op is natural spring water. Ozarka and clear mountain are my favorites.
  5. Wow you look great!!!!
  6. Nothing with aspirin
  7. I hate when people say how easy it was. The first few weeks was horrible for most people especially emotionally. People need to hear the truth because i listened and thought it was going to be easy. Wls needs to be something that u need to live. U shouldn't get it just because you can. Ive actually heard of ppl gaining weight to be able to have surgery. That's ridiculous. Just know that most of the time after about 3 weeks it seems like patients start to feel alot better!!! But i say it's worth it
  8. Where do you get them??
  9. I was told to wait 24 hours after taking my pain meds.
  10. I had my surgery November 9. Its a trial and error thing for me. The only think my tummy hates is dry chicken and pork so far!
  11. Chinese food in abundance!!!
  12. They are all disgusting to me but alpine punch was the best to me!
  13. I had gastric bypass November 5 i was told i could drink pulp free diluted orange juice the whole time. But every surgeon is different :-(
  14. I had my drain removed friday. I would say the removal felt similar to getting pricked with a needle. It wasn't bad at all. Just breathe deeply. My doctor was talking to me and then he just took it out. It was a great distraction from him removing the tube
  15. I lost 25 lbs on my pre op diet. I only drank protein shakes, sugar free drinks, ff broth and pickles. Its possible!!!!
