    Mad at myself

    Try not to be so hard on your self. We have all gained and lost and gained and lost. I thought the same thing as you, I can lose this on my own. My friends are mostly nurses and did not encourage my surgery choice. But I have to say that it was the best decision I have ever made! I feel great! I used to say I can't hit 200, then it was 250 and my final straw was hitting 300. I'm mad I let myself get this big too. But we can't go back we can only move forward! Don't look back at why you got where you are. There is help in surgery to get you to where you want to be. It's not easy but it is worth it! I had my surgery on 4/17 so only 12 days ago. I have lost 50 lbs since Dec 30. When you finally hit the point where you are tired of the weight you will be strong to go thru this process. So get positive it helps:) and good luck!

    4 day post op pain

    I am 8 days PO and have had a hard time with liquids. I used to love water and ice cold everything. I can't stand water and ice cold liquids cause discomfort. I do like crystal light lemonade but pop cycles do best for me. I did order som chicken broth from bariatric choice and enjoy it. Good luck. Every day does get better!

    15 POUNDS DOWN IN FIRST MONTH?

    Should I be worried that I'm down over 20 lbs in 7 days post-op????
  5. I am a week post-op and my abdomen itches so bad it drives me nuts! I know I am healing and that is normal, but it's as bad as having hives! Did anyone else experience this and what did you do to help?
