For me it was about 40 days.

Is that a question you thought you would ever ask? Congrats. No I didn't. And Thank You.

Yeah, I was looking online and I can find them there. I guess the two stores I looked at must just not sell them in store.

Good luck to you. See you on the loser's bench

I am currently running for a State position with the Veterans of Foreign Wars State of Michigan and I have to go to a District meeting about 2 hours away so I don't think I will be able to go to any Super Bowl get together

I have a question about waist sizes of pants sold in stores. Currently I can fit into a 30" waist in jeans (they are loose enough for me to pull them down without unbuttoning/unzipping them) and I have been looking for a size 28. Do they sell them in stores? I have been to a couple of stored but the smallest size they seem to have are 30s.

Good luck to you. Try to keep an open mind. I know it will be difficult but you are doing the right thing. Is there a support group at your surgeon's office or at the hospital? That may help as well. Again, good luck to you.

Good luck to you. It is better to get the help now than to try and sweep the issue under the rug.

@@bayougirlmrsc you're ok for somebody who has been around for almost 8 years. LOL

The only stupid question is the one that isn't asked.

Sounds like a little buyers remorse. It will pass. Try to keep a positive attitude and do what your surgeon and nutritionist tell you to do. I think that everyone gets that at one time or another.

You can carry ice chips with you in a cup or I would also recommend using a mouthwash such as Biotene. It helps keep your mouth moist. I used to use it before I went to be so my mouth wouldn't dry out while I was using my CPAP. Little did I know that the pressure was set too high on my CPAP and it was causing my mouth to open.

Love the World According to Egg Face.

I for one am happy here. Sure, I may joke around a little when responding to posts but it is never meant to be cruel or mean. It is supposed to help lighten the mood. Yes WLS is a very serious issue, but if you are serious 100% of the time it is no fun. This is a new life style for all of us. And just because somebody has had the surgery a long time ago doesn't mean that they know everything. I appreciate their input however if my surgeon or nutritionist tells me to do it one way I shouldn't be belittled about it.

Welcome to the loser's bench.

I am talking skin tags, not excess skin like an apron. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Don't get discouraged. Everyone's journey is different. I just got off an eight week stall and I am only fourteen weeks post op. Try to keep a positive outlook. You will break out of the stall.

Good luck and we will see you on the Loser's Bench very soon.

Sorry to hear that. I hope it works out for you. My daughter bought me the Bariatric Foodie Guide To The Perfect Protein shake for Christmas. It has some great recipes n it. It makes them much more enjoyable to drink.

WHAT? Warm? Oh to be warm. LOL. I had never heard of this red light therapy before. I must research it now.

Have you discussed this with your surgeon or your nutritionist?

My birthday is April 29th. I am thinking of it as a birthday present to myself! A happier and healthier me!! Let me know when you get scheduled! That is a great attitude to have and a fantastic present to yourself.

You're welcome. Don't forget, we are all in this together. We are a WLS family.

Congratulations of starting over. I know it will help you in the long run. I would love to help "mentor" you but seeing as I am only 14 weeks post op I really don't know if I would be able to help .

How do you cut them off? Isn't it painful?
