Congratulations! It is so wonderful to see the pant sizes dropping. I had my surgery 7 weeks ago and have went from a 18 to a 12. It still seems so unreal! But, two years ago I wore a 24. I went through a divorce and lost down to a size 18. But, that's where I stayed for almost 2 years until I had surgery. I honestly believe I will always think of myself as the girl in the size 24 pants no matter what. It is a hard journey but so worth it!!!

You look great! So proud of you!

That is so amazing! Congratulations!

It seems like half of the time I eat, I end up vomiting. I have a horrible gurgling like feeling whenever I eat or drink. It seems like I have a lot of pain in the esophageal area after I eat also. Any suggestions? I am so frustrated. I am 5 and 1/2 weeks post-op. I had hoped that things would be easier than this!

Thanks so much for the comments! I've been consuming only liquids for the past two days. But, there are times I cannot keep those down either. I am calling my surgeon tomorrow for sure!

Thank you so much for your advice! I am so thankful for this surgery, but it is a lot of work! ???? I want to do everything right!

Everyone looks so wonderful!!! You all are such an inspiration. I am so proud of everyone. I hope I am just as successful also!!

Amazing!!!! So proud of you! You are gorgeous!

I plan on going back to work 2 weeks after my surgery which will be on March 14th. However, I have very little energy and I am so worried about being able to hold up for 12 hour shifts on my feet. I am a registered nurse. I have an appointment with my surgeon on Tuesday. I will wait and see what he says. I hope my energy returns soon!

I am 9 days post-op and I am having so much problems with the full liquid diet. I know I am not consuming the adequate amount of intake. I feel so tired and icky. I hope starting on puree food next week will help. I've never wanted mashed potatoes so badly in my laugh! Haha. I got back to work at the end of the week if my surgeon releases me. I am so hoping that the upgrade in diet will make a difference!

I am currently 3 days post op for a gastric bypass. I am in so much pain when I get up and down from bed or a chair. I have the worse stabbing pain to my left side. I've always credited myself with a high pain threshold, but this has been really rough. I just keep telling myself it will get better and will be worth it in the end!

I am having surgery on Feb.27th! I am so excited to start this new chapter of my life!

I am from Tennessee and will be having my surgery on Feb. 27th! I am so excited!
