From the album: Before and 6 months post-op
I carry a large portion of my weight in my belly. Here are a few pics so you can see how my body looks as I lose weight. -

Before And After Gastric Sleeve Surgery Photos
bebenubbins replied to StacyS's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Here are before and during pictures. 5'5". Before 259 lbs. During: 6 months post-op, 184 lbs. Want to lose 40 lbs still. -
Love the balconette bra from Lane Bryant! I have gone from a 42DDD to a 38H (band size went down but boobs the same size, so had to go up in cup size). These bras are so supportive and give great shape! Plus they go on sale every now and then, a definite plus!

I'm in! I need some accountability!

Pregnant Mama Check-in
bebenubbins replied to annapatel's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I so wanted to be part of this little group of mama's! I just miscarried at about 6 weeks. This is my 3rd miscarriage, 1st post surgury. Doctor thinks it may not have as much to do with my wrought as originally thought. Please send good vibes my way so that we can figure out what will help me maintain a pregnancy! I'm more than ready to join your club! I'm very happy for all of you ladies and wish you happy and healthy babies! -
Why don't more people use Genepro?
bebenubbins replied to NewMeLinZ's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My nut said the protein in it is supposed to be absorbed in the stomach, not the lower digestive track, therefore with our tiny stomachs we will not get the full effect of it and it isn't backed by any proven science, it isn't recommended. -
Five months post sleeve
bebenubbins replied to nursejenny07's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Way to go! We have similar stats! 5 months post op and I'm down 70! I agree it feels so great to be shopping in normal stores! -
I'm totally right there with you! I'm 4.5 months post op and I'm so ready to start trying! This is the biggest reason I had wls, and now that I've lost almost 70lbs, I'm ready to get pregnant!

4 months post op and...
bebenubbins replied to meps413's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
Trust the home pregnancy test! I work in a medical laboratory for a hospital & we use the same tests you can buy in a store. Just make an apt with your ob-gyn for your first ultrasound, no need to pay for an office visit just to test! -
How Did You Do Thanksgiving Day? Share Your Story
bebenubbins replied to Dr-Patient's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 17 weeks post op, 1st Thanksgiving post op. I had a few bites of everything and was completely satisfied! I also noticed how large everyone else's portions were and was so thankful for my sleeve! I used to be the one with huge portions, going back for seconds and feeling sluggish and awful. It was great to be full, but not stuffed and not feel like crap! -
Waiting to get in to onederland
bebenubbins replied to madwife2002's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Not only am I happily in onederland, I have achieved goal #2, for the first time in our entire relationship, I now weigh less than my husband! Even if it's only by .2 lbs, I'm thrilled! Yay! -
Waiting to get in to onederland
bebenubbins replied to madwife2002's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I hit onederland today! So happy to get past that stall and to see that 1 as the first number on the scale! 14 weeks post-op. Down 60lbs total, 34 since surgury, 59 to goal! Half way there! -
I'm wondering how long it took everyone to reach their goal? How much did you have to lose? Do you struggle with maintaining?

In the undergarment section. Here is hanging on the walls around the dressing room.

I like body suits, they look like a one piece swimsuit but dip down under the bust, some have thigh coverage as well. Since they have straps, they don't roll down! I have gotten all of mine at Walmart!

3 Days from Sleeve and TTC
bebenubbins replied to erinmitchell0714's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
I am 28, been ttc since my husband and I married 2.5 years ago. We had one miscarried and that's it. I don't have any diagnosed fertility issues. I am hoping that this weight loss will be the ticket to conceiving. We are planning to start trying again in January, I will be 6mos post-op. So fast I'm down from 259 to 202. Hoping to get down to at least 175 by January! -
I wore a loose dress and flip flops to and from the hospital, spent the rest of the time in the gowns they provided. Didn't wear bras, they were too much of a hassle. Bring a phone charger! Chapstick. After you have the surgury, start walking as soon as you can handle it, it helps get rid of excess gas and works the anesthesia out of your system! Sip water often as soon as you get the OK.

Bruising on thighs...something to worry about?
bebenubbins replied to bebenubbins's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
No blood thinners. I take my vitamins and prilosec, that's it. Checked my blood counts about a month ago, all in the normal ranges. -
Bruising on thighs...something to worry about?
bebenubbins posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have noticed a lot of bruising on my thighs lately. I'm wondering if it has something to do with recently starting to lift heavier weights and doing squats? Or if it could indicate a more serious problem like blood clots? I'm almost certain I haven't been running around crashing into every thigh - high object I can find! Has this happened to anyone else? -
Till I can comfortably cross my legs, not at the ankle, thigh over thigh!
