  1. Hi everyone, I'm one month and one week post op. I just went back to work Monday now all of a sudden my legs are starting to be swollen. Did any experience that?

      Did they swell before the surgery? I know that my ankles used to swell if I sat too long. I haven't had any problem with swelling since my surgery. Do you sit all day? There are some exercises that can be done while your sitting in order to prevent swelling, if that is what youare doing. But before doing anything I would check with your Surgeon just to be safe.

      I so agree, it seems that when August arrives, those of us in The Northeast start shopping sweaters!

      You are picking the tool for that works best for you. Having the surgery, whichever one is chosen, only works if your commited to changing your lifestyle. I have seen and heard more than a few comments and questions you are receiving as I was on the receiving end of them too. Disregard those comments and questions, just concentrate on you. Best wishes.

      Don't do it! It is nutritional suicide! I started to fall into that stalled trap, only for a day or two, but it was not pretty. My stomach was upset and it I woke me up fast how could I do this to me? Start thinking that you have been doing it and you will do it! I did liquids for a coup,e of days to get my system back on track and have not looked back in two months. Hang in there, before you know it the scale will show that you have lost 60+ pounds! You are capable, you have already proved it! Go! Go! Go!

      Agree with all said! I am still fumbling at times, but if I post something twice by mistake...so be it! It will not be held against me, it will mostly be looked as another post!

  18. Now on day 6 post surgery. What a roller coaster. My support person went back to work after being home with me for a week and I am kind of at a loss as to what to do. Feeling very depressed but haven't been able to take my normal antidepressant because of the capsule, though got tabs I can crush and mix with something. Need to get back stabilized on this. I think I do feel physically better, No pain, no reflux, just an emotional wreck. Don't feel that I can talk with anyone about this.

      Listen to @ShrinkingPeach and @casey63! What they are saying is so true, I too must take an anti-depressant due to Post Traumatic Stree related incident. Think positive thoughts and know that it isn't always a great day, but you have made a positive change for you! Every day presents something new and the surgery will bring so many wonderful new days the bad times will get further and further apart from each other. It is your me time now and embrace the fact that you are taking care of you because you have earned everything good to yourself!

  23. 06/01/2015- new weight is 244- 64 to get to goal weight of 180

  24. Still surprised every day that I did this. I am so thankful that I finally did. Life is changing for me in crazy ways. Had my tarot read Sunday and was told that I was coming to the end of a cycle in my life. I am taking that to mean my weight. I am so ready for change!

    1. Liz5012

      Liz5012
