The last time I had a big loss of weight. My body was changing so fast that I went to the thrift stores for jeans and tops while I was transitioning they have some really cute things there some are even designer jeans. If you have never tried a thrift store before I promise you will find it a good tool while you are shrinking. I have gotten nice jeans for 3 and $4 and tops for a dollar ninety-nine.

My biggest fear has always been not fitting the seat belts has never happened to me. (Likely because I won't fly because of it.) I fit in car seat belts just fine even better now. I just seen that walk of shame to many times on planes to make it worse they are bright orange! I think the whole thing is discrimination against fat people maybe we should bound together and fight the seat and buckle sizes. That goes for restaurant booths as well! Sure we are getting our skinny on!! but what about the other people who can't maybe afford surgery. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I heard if you do not enough calories you will have a harder time and lose less weight. That is going to be really hard for me also. Good luck on your journey ♡ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

No, no, no dear Babbs. Us Trumpers would never allow such kookiness. We'd have our wall built to keep such madness out of our village. By the way....did you not see the pic she posted ? Doesn't look like a Trump person to me. I could be wrong, though. I often am. Absolutely wrong Trump Train all the way! even thinking I could be a libby was the worst insult on here towards me.

@@chrystine I have never had to use an extension belt. But I drove from California to Kansas in horrible snow conditions when we never seen a snow plow in our lives. When our youngest had an emergency c-section it took us 2 days longer because of the weather. All because I was so scared they would do that walk of shame over to me with that belt.

People are so wrong in thinking it is the easy way out. But, I understand. I have not told anyone but my immediate family. When asked why I was in the hospital I just simply said I'm having abdominal surgery they're going to be working on my guts and stuff. Nobody questioned it after that.

I'm living in SD currently, but had my surgery done in MT (long story). I got released to go back home after my 1 week appointments. The drive back to SD took a lot out of me yesterday. Sitting in the car for 4.5 hours, didn't drink anything cuz I didn't want to have to stop suddenly in case something didn't like me. Got home and was just so drained after my 12 hour day (woke up at 7 got settled in home at 7. Decided on bed at 7:30.. literally 11 hours later, I feel only a little better. I could probably keep sleeping if I let my eyes close. When they say stay up on your Protein, they're not joking. I could barely hold my body up yesterday except for the pain keeping me from slouching over. Tried to stay awake enough to try some tomato Soup for the first time, which was a hit, but was just so drained of energy I couldn't finish it. Stay up on your protein people. You literally want to crumble to the ground of you don't. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I am Ele I had my surgery April 20th. I am new to this but I can help with any pre-op I know how nervous you can get and scared. My doctor puts everyone on Xanax for two weeks before and boy did that help! We even. Took it the morning before surgery. If you're very very scared don't be afraid to ask for it. It is for anxiety. Good luck to everyone of you. ♡ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

Hi I am Ele I am 56 and had GB on April 20th. After the surgey my right thigh was numb to the touch the skin but under that where the nerves are I have unbearable pain. The doctor said that it is nerve damage and sometimes happens after surgery. I am on Lyrica 3 times a day for it if I wasn't strong enough so my doctor put me on oxycodeine I hate taking the Oxy it makes me high. But my pain in my leg is horrid. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any response. ♡ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App

I am angry they took me off my estrogen lol I had a full hysterectomy years ago. Which throws you in to menopause. If I went through it already which I should have. The estrogen helped me. If I see one here or one wrinkle on my face I'm taking estrogen! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App
