How about some NSVs!?!?
lrnettles replied to shyanne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just put on the dress that my grandmother ordered for me. It is a size 14. And to think in February I was in a size 28. I haven't seen a 14 since middle school. -
Us bigger people have more to lose so it goes faster in the beginning. I started at 356 right before surgery. Tomorrow is 4 months and I am 251. At one point in the beginning I was losing 2 lbs a day

I went shopping Today in my storage unit and found clothes I thought I would never wear again. Some of them fit and the others were too big! -
Where Are You in Your Weight Loss Journey?
lrnettles replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Had my surgery 2/21/2013. Did not do well pre op. Actually hit my high weight right before surgery at 356. I am proud to say I hit 256 yesterday. 100 lbs in 14 weeks. Now to lose the other 100 lbs. -
I just went back on nuvaring. I loved it before so I decided to use it after surgery. It is very eady to put in. It goes in just like a tampon without an applicator. Very easy to get out when needed. I have had no problems with spotting and I don't feel it during sex. It doesn't bother my husband either. And the ligher periods are the best. Went from using pads and tampons to only having to use light tampons.

I too am a fast eater. I make sure to measure all my food and I use a smartphone app called eat slower or slow mow. These apps beep at a set interval to tell you when to take a bite

My husband and I are both only children. I see no problem with it.

I recieved the fitbit one as a pre surgery gift ftom the family. I don't do anything without it. My husband and mother in law both got the zip once they saw mine. Now we have competitions to see who does the best each week. I like my fitbit one and would not trade it for the world

Diuretics after surgery
lrnettles replied to mitzie46's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I stopped my hctz the day of surgery. I have had no problems with going off it -
Question for everyone. ..how long do you take in between bites of food. I downloaded an app to help me slow down but don't know what I should set it on
-
I do chew everything to mush...I just do so very fast. Used the app set at 45 seconds this morning and it helped
-
Eat slower. You set the interval and it chimes every time you should take a bite
