Cateyez001,

I am set yo have mine removed and the Rousen Y (Spell) done on 14 AUG 2017. My Doctors stated this was the fastest they have ever seen a surgery approval, ever! Yeah for good insurance and good documentation! it took one week with one letter.

Wore a dress yesterday with no shorts or spanxs and didn't start a fire with my thighs rubbing together cus they didn't rub!!! :-)~ lol yaaay!!!

I wake up excited for another day!
I can eat foods I love in small amounts!
I can RUN!
I feeeeeeel beautiful!
People who have known me my entire life have been double-taking looks bc they don't recognize me!
I'm doing my first 10k Saturday!!

I can cross my legs, cross my arms over my boobies, fit in clothes that I haven't worn in over 2 years, dropped a size in undies, walking around without my knees and hips hurting!!

So many... I use a normal towel after I shower instead of a beach towel. I use a normal public bathroom stall instead of the handicap stall. I cross my legs all the time. I don't sweat as much. I am never out of breath. I can run up the stairs at my house instead of hanging on the banister all the way up. I'm in single digit clothing. I don't dread being in a picture... In fact I'm front and center now. So many more.... I smile all the time now!!!

My favorite NSV ... I'm able to buckle my seat belt without lifting my butt/hip I can just click and go!
I wear my watch and it slips up and down my wrist.

Yep some non surgery victories :-D Friday I went to the movies with a friend and was able to put both arm rest down and still have plenty or room in my chair :-) Now my niece can hug me and wrap her arms all the way around me :-) oooo... Was able to wear a REALY cute pair or wedges all day :-D Okay I wanna hear some of y'all's now :-D

I am 4 1/2 weeks out. i have been having trouble eating 4 oz. per meal in. I had my post op yesterday and she said that was fine, not everyone can. She said if I can only eat 2 oz at a meal, then an hour or so later, eat about 2 oz more of Protein. I am drinking a 30 g Protein Shake in the morning. I am supposed to drink three 16.9 bottles of Water a day but can only get in two. She said you just have to work up to it. i noticed this week i am able to get a little more in at a meal, but if only 3 oz., I got some soft colby jack 3/4 oz packs of cheese at Walmart and I eat one of those. It will come naturallly and all of a sudden you will be able to. You must try to eat even if you don't feel hungry. I had a sleeve 5 1-2 years ago and went through the same thing, although the bypass has more of a restriction.

That's the procedure I'm having done on 9/11... lap band removal to gastric bypass. Mine hasn't failed, per se, but it did erode my esophagus and my GERD is awful!
