I have cut my hair very short, made it easier to deal with while my kid was in the hospital. I have had a few people think they didn't recognize me because I cut my hair off. I laugh and let them know that they didn't recognize me because I've lost 120 pounds. lol

I am 7 months post op, the last 3 days I have been nauseous after eating Breakfast. I have had the same breakfast shake for as long as I can remember but now my stomach gets upset. I have to make constant trips to the bathroom and feel icky from the nausea, anyone else have this issue?

274

YES!!! Whenever I see a "heavy" person in a public place I, ask whoever I am with, if I am bigger or smaller than them. I am always smaller but it is still hard for me to see it. I don't ask near as much as my family told me to stop! lol

My highest weight was 386, surgery weight 358 and my weight this morning 269! I wasn't using my tool as I should have and the scale reflected it. I joined in the memorial day challenge and have been very focused and motivated since then!

269.8! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using the BariatricPal App

@@rebeccaburlinparrsih69 are you in Alaska?

Food addiction often turns to a different addiction such as alcoholism.

I had my surgery the same day, I was discharged after 2 hours lol I only had gas pain until mid Saturday. I was flying home on monday so I went in for a vitamin infusion my doc does and had lost 13 pounds over the weekend. I walked about 4 miles on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, took today off to catch up on the house and my sleep. I've been getting my fluids in pretty well but am only able to get to about 30 grams of protein. I'm so excited about this new life

I was leaving state yesterday so my doc wanted to make sure everything was going ok.

How you doing? I lost 13 pound already, I'm sure it's all water but the numbers are still nice

@@ATX Girl i didnt see you already posted about the Gastric Plication

There is a new one, its called Gastic Plication, its not FDA approved yet. Its almost like the sleeve except they do not remove the stomach.

I'm going to Las Vegas, my surgery is on the 25th. There is another lady going to the same surgeon, having surgery on the same day and a young lady that went to same doc that had surgery on Tuesday. So there's a few of us

I'm seeing Dr. Umbach, crossing my fingers you are too!

I'll be in Vegas

I'm on the 25th too!

Maybe this sounds ridiculous but a close friend of mine was denied by her insurance not thinking of using her husband's. Maybe if you are married yiu can check out their insurance?
