nunya-got-sleeved got a reaction from pintsizedmallrat in Vaping after Surgery
I am not on here to debate with anyone. I am only here to give STARS my feedback of personal experience.
I started Vaping last year after quitting smoking for 30 years. I did not quit nor will I.
I have done my research and you should too. I do know it does not hinder your progress of WL from surgery.
My only concern is extra dehydration and dry mouth. Vaping in and of itself dehydrates you. WLS dehydrates you. I guess combined I get doubly dehydrated which in turn I drink way more than recommended. Do your homework and
Stay Calm and Vape!

Everyone goes through a stall at one point. It'll be ok. Your body just has to adjust to the changes. Great job losing so much in the first 3 wks PO

For a few months after my surgery I was waiting for my progress to show. My friend had her surgery years before me and said it was going to come but I didn't believe her. She said give it three months for people to really notice your loss. I was like yeah right! She said I was going to skip sizes. I thought she was lying. She said give it time. I couldn't wait.
Well 6 months have come and gone and everything she said has happened!!! My only downfall is I still don't believe it. I still have the "Look" of fat where I had fat. It's just really small now. People don't recognize me. I think they are patronizing me but true/close friends tell me that they aren't. I really am so much smaller now!!! I'm so not done but really starting to enjoy this journey I'm on.
I went from a size 20 to a 12. 85lbs so far. 25 left!!

nunya-got-sleeved got a reaction from The Candidate in THE 6 MONTHS WAIT IS HARD
I made the call December 2014 and had to wait till May 2015 to have the surgery. I agree with the previous poster--use this time to get used to the requirements of your new post surgery lifestyle. Not drinking during a meal and waiting 30 minutes to drink after. Then chewing slowly each bite.
I was with you about losing too much beforehand. Had I lost more than I did I would have been denied. Enjoy your journey. It is the start of your new life.

By no means did I post for compliments!!! I very much thank you all. I just remember waiting and wondering if the surgery worked or if the doctor even did the right surgery on me. Looking at myself everyday and not "Seeing" a real change, I was down. I want those that are just beginning their journey to know their time is coming.

It is so refreshing to read your post. I see before and after pictures all the time and I marvel at the changes that people have made at 6 months out, 1 year out, 18 months, etc. I'm six weeks out today and I feel like a snail. I look at myself every day and see the same thing. I know I can't compare myself to others, but I do feel like you did in just waiting for my turn. Patience is definitely a virtue!
BTW, you look terrific!
