Perfect pants for women after surgery!
Does the discount you offer make the LLR pants $11.00? If so I'll definitely purchase several pair from you!

Looking forward to summer for 1st time
The uncertainty drives me nuts. I wish I knew what I would look like, how much weight I would have lost.

Before and Afters 2017
These are my favorite posts. I love seeing how far everyone has come. I'm only 3mos out so no before and afters from me yet.

I need support, help please.
When you are under they tape the eyes shut. I would guess a reaction to the tape. Have you called the surgeon?

Tips to Avoid Nightime Eating?
I am awful, I don't eat much during the day and then at night I'm low on calories and have to eat. I need to stop.

October 2016-Surgery Date. Where are you now?
I'm struggling. I gained weight and I refused to track my weight again until I lost it. I'm just stuck. Also, the freaking poop issue is killing me. I just want to poop.

I am all over the place. I get anywhere from 380 and 1000 a day. I'm trying to eat more, I need to get a schedule together.

Taking pills, how far apart?
I was able to swallow pills as soon as I left the hospital but had to wait 10 minutes between each pill. I'm now over 2 months out and keep forgetting to finish my meds because I am so busy! Can I just take them normally now or do I still have to wait 10 minutes between each one? I will call and ask but I always forget! Thanks

Perfect pants for women after surgery!
These feel just like LLR. I have a bunch of LLR and it was killing me to spend that much. I switched to these and now have several friends and family hooked on them. The only difference is these don't have a yoga waistband.

Perfect pants for women after surgery!
The plus leggings fit from size 14-24, I linked those up above. When you first get them you will think there is no way they will fit because they look tiny. I put them on like pantyhose, bunch them up and slide them up. They also kind of compress the jiggle a little bit. As I lose the weight I am so jiggly, it is kind of uncomfortable. The regular leggings fit from size 0-12 https://www.amazon.com/VIV-Collection-VPLFR-1207-Printed-Leggings/dp/B01N4BVTS9/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1483407381&sr=1-1&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=viv+leggings+for+women&linkCode=ll1&tag=t03be-20&linkId=a6770f9ad8aa1d8c2e7ad09a7ce1c364

Perfect pants for women after surgery!
I had to share the best thing I have found to wear after surgery. I am down 3 sizes and am broke so I can't afford to buy a ton of clothes. I have been living in these leggings and tunics from Amazon, the leggings are very similar to LuLaRoe but half the price! They will fit all sizes to like a 12 and don't need replacing like regular pants. The tunics also fit a wide range of sizes, I am down 47 pounds and still am wearing the same ones I bought right after surgery.

Hope this helps someone.

Bread
My doctor told me I was allowed to have bread when it was homemade. I don't have a single idea how to make homemade bread so I only have bread when my mom makes it for a big family dinner. Maybe once every 6 weeks or so is what I'm thinking. I'm only 2 months out and I have had 2 nibbles of bread one time.

Can't tell weight coming off
47 pounds down and I can't see a difference either. Blah.

So where are 30 somethings shopping?
I wear a lot of leggings, tunics and riding boots. They are forgiving with the loose skin I have right now and as I shrink they do too.

Loose skin already?
Surgery was 10-27-16, I am down 46 pounds. I have noticed that my skin is way loose and jiggly on my back and stomach. I still have 100 pounds to go and am terrified as to what I will look like. Does it eventually tighten back up some? It is almost like I am deflated. I am obviously not a super model but am worried about how I will physically feel. I am wearing a lot of compression clothing to make it not feel so weird. Thanks!

I'm about 10 days post op..
I craved Mexican! I used chicken broth and taco seasoning together with protein powder. It helped a little to wane the cravings.

C section / RNY comparison?
I didn't even think they compared. With the c-section, you have a beautiful baby to love on and enjoy. With surgery you have nausea, vomiting and a ton of pain with no immediate gratification. Not even in the same ballpark.

Should I be upset?
This was the choice we made. Why should anyone else feel guilty or alter their life because of a choice we made? It sucks the first time it happens but you get used to it.

I had a piece of pie
I planned my day knowing I would have a dessert. I had 2 bites of a brownie and a peanut butter blossom. I don't feel bad at all. I didn't get fat in a single day and one day a few times a year isn't going to derail me.

You might be a WLS patient when...
When your Mom asks you what food you enjoyed most on Christmas and you tell her you no longer enjoy eating food. It is a chore. [emoji1304]

Any October 2016 Sleevers?
What are y'all eating? I'm struggling with getting enough food in. I forget to eat which is bad. I only had 438 calories today. My doc says I should be around 1000 calories a day. Thanks
