Oh no! Have you tried eliminating certain things from your diet? When did you stop taking the painkillers? I thought I'd gotten mine from my painkillers!

I got a rash as well. It stayed on my lower abdomen close to my incisions. I never got anything prescribed to me, but I always made sure to keep the area uncovered as often as I could.

You're young. You're beautiful. You're HEALTHY. You've been so successful and have gotten off your medicines! You're doing SO GREAT! Don't feel down! Your health is number one. Maybe look into some counseling to help with these negative feelings you have about your appearance. In my eyes, you've done fantastic and you should be so very proud.

My sister went from a DD to a C in two months
Which makes me a little scared because I'm a D and I don't want them to get smaller ????

My 6 months was on November 11! I am 96 pounds down.
I'm 6'2" and I started at 330. I am currently hanging out around 234-236. All my health issues resolved a month and a half after surgery. Now I'm just reaping the benefits of slow, steady weight loss. My goal weight is 210. Doctors are okay with me staying where I'm at! I dropped from a size 24 to a size 14-16 in jeans and a 3X to a medium/large in tops. I am so happy to be a happy, HEALTHY 21 year old.

I didn't have the sleeve, but bypass and sleeve patients have the same diet rules!
I had my bypass may 11th.
I am supposed to be on full liquids for two weeks.
I did great the first week and then 4 days into my second week (so 4 days before my two weeks) I had cod. The next day, tuna. And now a day before my two weeks I had shredded beef.
I don't feel guilty about it at all. I also will be straight up with my surgeon at my appointment and tell them what I had.
We are human! As long as we steer back to the right path, we are okay!

Long time no see bariatric brothers and sisters! Gosh it's been a wild ride these past few months! Once school started back up I was forced to give my full attention to it. I'm 6 months out (crazy)! I'm down 96 pounds! So close to the 100 pound Mark!
Anyways!
Left I was 330
Right I am 234.
I want to lose 24 more pounds but my doctors say I can stop if I want to! My life is completely changed and I'm a healthy, HAPPY 21 year old.
Hope everyone is well.

I had a margarita 2 days before my surgery. I'm now 6 months out and 96 pounds down. You're okay, haha.

I turned 21 years old a month before my surgery. I had my surgery in May. I drink occasionally now! Even told my doctor and they're okay with it as long as I don't abuse it and become dependent on it.

Total weight loss: 69 pounds.
And of course there's PICTURES!!!
I went from a size 22-24 to a size 16-18 and being able to fit into a size L-XL shirt/dress down from a size 3X.
I am off all medications
I'm 21 years old, happy, thankful, but most importantly HEALTHY!

Holy moly.You look fantastic!!!!!

Surprise!!
I just read everybody's posts and have been so happy to hear the things you all have to say!
I know I haven't been very active lately but I've been trying to juggle work and my summer classes and that's a struggle in itself!
My 3 months will be on August 11th and I can't believe how far I've come since!
I've come down from a size 22 to a size 16 in jeans and shorts:)
I bought a large dress the other day that actually FIT me!
I wear an XL in most t-shirts still but I am a-okay since I used to wear 3X
I am hanging out around 260 which puts me at a total weight loss of 70 pounds! This is already half of my excess in just under 3 months and that makes me so happy!
I have started having issues with snacking! But I'm also not too worried!
I attended my sisters 6 month post-op RNY appointment with her yesterday and learned a lot of valuable stuff at it :') my sister has already had to begin maintenance since she's lost more than 70% of her excess body weight! This made me super excited for her but also made me a little relieved. I was worried I wasn't losing fast enough but after hearing about how they thought she lost too much too fast made me feel better about the progress I am making!
I am so glad I have all of you in this with me :') we got this!

Hi Lena! I'm Jenn and 21 yeas old. I am 6'2 and 329 when I started my journey, 316 on day of surgery (which was yesterday). My crutch was that I'm 21 years old with hypertension, so like you, this will save my life.
Surgery went well for me! I'm being well-controlled with pain and I am having NO dreaded gas pain! I did need to be straight-cathed once because my body was lagging from surgery but other than that I feel pretty great!!!!
Good luck to you!! It's very exciting
