  1. Same shape hear! Pants are the hardest for me to find! Pre op my 28 were baggy but 26 was still too snug. I won't have to buy clothes from about 26-24. I got those jeans in my "too small drawer." I think I'll always be a bit bigger on bottom. Hoping my proportions will change nicely.
  2. On the other side now! Surgery went well. Swallowing the pills are hard and hurts but thankful to be at this point! Thanks for your support.
  3. Great results! You look awesome. Congratulations on your hard work.
  4. So soon! You're nearly there! Rooting for you. Mine is tmrw. Yippeee!
  5. Thank you for your insight!
  6. No residue or remnants. The sodium is 90 mg too much?
  7. [emoji4] [emoji307] Thank you so much!
  8. Today I'm on a clear liquid diet bc ds surgery is tmrw. May sound silly but, I wanted to check and see if bone broth was ok to drink vs chicken broth? I know bone broth has bone marrow and pureed organs in it. I just had this sinking feeling come over me that I should check before I drank some. Thanks so much!
  9. I only use my phone to go on this forum and for some reason I can't figure out why my phone doesn't work for inputting this. [emoji20]
  10. Haha! I appreciate your view.[emoji4]
  11. No I didn't know that! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with me. [emoji175]
  12. Ugh! Well that's a real bummer but explains why there was no reviews from DS patients. Why don't the patches work for DS?
  13. Thank you for your experience!
  14. That makes a lot of sense. I can see how helpful this forum is just being in the pre-op phase. It's been since 2016....long process for me bc of multiple insurance struggles. I can see how valuable this community will be to me even more post op! Thanks for your opinion. It's definitely helpful to me!
  15. Wow that's kinda' snarky of you. I did put my stats in my info area. I use this page on my phone and for some reason my phone won't let me input the stats in the designated area.
  16. Thank you for your input and encouragement.
  17. Hi there! I'm wanting to hear from the DS'ers who have made their DS public. Do you wish you hadn't? Fb or Instagram? What has been your experience? I'm trying to decide how I want to handle this. Surgery is set for this Monday 10/29. Part of me wants to make it public bc I'd like encouragement but another part of me don't bc I don't want ppl scrutinizing everything I eat.
