Depends on your intake and diet plan. Since I'm just shy of two weeks myself on on a purred diet and allowed meats etc.

Had a loo visit today and that was my first one in a week but remember if you aren't eating anything it could all be liquid.< br>
We are given a stool softner to take every two days and that helps us - whatever you do - don't stress too much.

It's pretty crazy that I just had surgery December 16th and I'm seeing these changes. 21.2 lbs lost so far and I went to my post op appointment yesterday and the doctor said he's never seen someone recover so quickly. It's probably because I'm 21 and that's why I did recover at a fast rate. Still have had some struggles like head hunger. Who knew there were so many food commercials on tv!? I'm going to stick to Netflix for now.

I got my surgery 12/20/2016 so far so good. Just some gas pain. And tenderness. Oh and my throat hurts so bad :-(.

It's a strange feeling, huh? I'm having surgery in February and running into the same predicament. I'm just soldiering through it right now. When weightloss begins and until my goal weight, I'll shop at the thrift stores. Way to go! Sent from my SCH-I545 using the BariatricPal App

So my surgery was 12/21/16 I honestly did not know how or what feel. When I got the operating room I was told that they were going to administer the anesthesia through my I've. The lady asked me to stretch my arm. As soon as I stretched it I was out. When I woke up the nurse was telling me that it was time to walk. I told her I didn't have the surgery yet she said oh yes the surgery is complete. I didn't have no pain at all. So looked down my gown and saw the white bandages. So o got up and to the bathroom. I was later discharged.
The ride home was okay. I wasn't uncomfortable at all it felt like a normal car ride. My husband helped me inside and up the stairs. I have been getting up every hour as instructed and walking for 10 minutes. No pain just the feeling of gas: sir trapped in my back. I can't seem to get rid of it. I am also wearing my cpap mask.
The only discomfort I'm having is my throatI am having trouble with my fluids. I am trying to avoid throwing up gotta go. Time for my walk. .

I'm sitting here in the hospital getting prepped for VSG and I'm feeling weirdly nervous and a little scared..
Don't look back, turn the page, and let your next chapter begin!

Amazing attitude !!
When someone asks you how much dead weight you have lost, add his weight and feel proud

I'll update as soon as I'm able to after surgery. thank you for your kind thoughts, i'm over here very teary and just thankful for this community.

No No no don't do that to yourself.
Don't compare your journey to someone else's Journey is my model after I tortured myself the first 6 months.
Out body structures are all different.
I was losing at a slower Pace than everybody else so I would sabotage myself. However with great support and encouragement of others noticing the weight loss in me, I was able to gain Focus and I realized I am not going to lose at the same pace as everybody else and sure enough I didn't.
I was sleeved on May 2015 I have a total weight loss of 125 pounds I have been released by my surgeon but I have a personal goal to get to.
I discuss my weight loss with whom I was comparing myself to, their weight loss is way under hundred pounds and some haven't been released by surgeon.
Moral of the story... Keep eye on your own paper..lol focus on you this is for you. You will know what works best for you. Follow the doctors and guidelines. Don't feel discouraged. Slow and steady is best

I'm planning on transitioning my wardrobe through thrift stores

Went from DD to a C. With a good bra they still look nice. They're a bit sad out of the holsters, though.

I will be two months out in two days, and I am down 44 lbs from my weight on B-Day. I thought I had enough in the way of old clothes to get me through the winter, but I have gone down four sizes around my waist since I started in June. I don't look so good in a dress either. But if you are talking two months, you'll be into March, right? It should be a little warmer in Joisey by then.

So many posts here, about unsupportive significant others. Just watched My 600 lb. life. Zsalynn is doing great. She went for weight training with a trainer. Her SO said if you want to break a sweat grab the vacuum cleaner. I wanted to go through the tv. She is trying so hard, and her young child (and his), yells why did you marry him mommy!? Zsalynn said because I wouldn't have you.
I have made terrible choices in my life, I guess this is why it bothers me so. Sort of like the first husband of 20 years dropping me at the hospital to have two different surgeries. He is history but I still wonder why I settled for such crap. The first surgery was a kidney stone when I was 7 1/2 months pregnant, and nearly died.
Please, strong women, never ever let a man treat you like this.

My husband flat out stared at me in bed last night, bewildered and asked if I was ok twice! My sleeve is very talkative.

I'm over 3 years out and I still occasionally get the rumblies. It's embarrassing but I just remind myself that it's not nearly as embarrassing as being 350+ lbs in public, having to sit in two airplane seats, or being unable to fit in a restaurant booth!

Since you won't stoop to telling her to shut the f--k up (totally understandable), why not buy an airhorn and let it blast every time she opens her mouth? Or a rape whistle?

Sigh... I guess that's just as immature.

Have you ever walked up to her with a smile and asked her WHY she is so rude? Ask her what her actual reason is for being so blatantly nasty? Admittedly, it doesn't always work. I've done it here with a particularly ugly one and got zero response, but it does feel good to confront them in a non aggressive way and put the ball in their court. Acknowledging and recognizing their poor behavior is strangely comforting. If they continue to engage in it, as mine has, it's 100% on them. In turn, you are the bigger person giving her the chance to explain.

And you never know. They might just wake up and turn their behavior around.
