  1. Had my sleeve yesterday morning. Currently at home after a 5 hour ride. Every bump was excruciating. The gas they use in surgery is EVIL. It hurts so bad even now. Had no idea.

  2. When I look in the mirror.....I still see the same person I saw 83lbs ago....I can tell the difference in pictures...but not in the mirror. Is that normal?

      Djmohr, I started cleaning out my closet.... I still had to try on every 3x....even though I know they don't fit.... I had to keep convincing myself. My hubby was telling me today that he never realized that I had gained that much either--that he still saw me the same as the day that we met. I think I'll keep him!

      My issue is making sure I'm prepared and have a good meal to eat and not just cheese.... I feel your pain! I haven't eaten anything I shouldn't but don't always eat enough when I haven't planned

      I can't watch skin tight....it stresses me out lol. I like the 600 lb stories where they show life post-op for the people better...I want to know how they are doing!

      Not easy but honestly the post-op diet isn't better :-P 2.5 months out and eating is still hit or miss. It is so worth it though!

  11. Well slap me silly...celebrities that cheated to lose weight. This was the headline in the National Enquirer as I checked out my groceries today.

      I didn't realize that Christy and Oprah had surgery.....maybe bait and switch issue since they are false advertising how they lost it?

  12. A close family member was helping me clean out my closest/dresser to get rid of clothes that were too big, when they remarked "you need to keep your biggest pair of pants and a shirt just so you can remind yourself to never do that to yourself again!" Perhaps my thick skin is thinning out with the rest of my body, but that comment just about set me off.

      I like to take pics in my old clothes for comparison....but snarky comments aren't nice! Hugs!

  15. Had a friend come over tonight and take a ton of "before" measurements and photos: front, side, and rear. Put the measurements into Excel. Looking forward to seeing those numbers change!

  16. Woohoo!!! I am in a "Winner Onederland"

  17. Ok so my cough looks like just about went away however now I feel extremely full and I havent had anything to eat but green tea. Hmm.. Still having trouble sleeping. Also **warning TMI** constipation!! NO BUENO! Not a good day im having to say the least. Any advice?

    1. Steph Anie

      Steph Anie

      Purelax for constipation...it takes a few days, but it is gentle.....or a suppository (my doc said that works better)

      If the cough is from drainage... take Robitussin---look for the sugar free kind.

      Drink lots and lots...
