Oh, age and gravity and big boobs......mine will surely need a resurrection as well!

I've always been huge....when I was thin, I was a DDD. I've always wanted a reduction but because I got so heavy, I kept them for proportion. Unfortunately, they now hang lower....I can tuck them in pants....lol. They are a lot looser, so they kind of have to be rolled into a bra. It's been very frustrating! I went to a specialty store and they remeasured me and I bought 2 bras today that fit!

How in the world is it possible to lose 70 pounds and none of it came from boobies. 46G pre-op. 38 G 4 months later!! When I hit Goal, these puppies are going!! 30 more pounds!

Sleeved 12/22 HW 280 SW 247 CW 181.5 I have not moved an ounce on the scale in over a week and only lost 4 pounds this month. I'm not hitting my protein or fluid goals so redoubling my efforts. Also started adding a little carbs into the diet. My plan allows 3meals a day and no snacking which makes protein difficult when all the supplements make me sick.

I had the exact same issue but ended up in the ER. I was impacted and had Colitis from the hard stool. Like you, I had been going a little bit each day. I was admitted. I now take Miralax each night.

Surgery on 12/22. Sw 247. Cw 186. I've been stalled for 3 weeks but I'm patient. There's no way I can't lose with how little I eat!!

Thanks for the validation that this isn't sustainable long term. I have an appt with the NUT coming soon and will discuss further. I'm willing to work a program but it's gotta be liveable. I am getting 500ish calories per day. I'm a super disciplined person and this is really testing me.....pushing fluids today seems to be helping the hunger.

I think no snacks is crazy too. I get the choice to relearn these healthy habits. Healthy snacking is a habit too. However, I've not snacked because I'm chicken I'll mess up! My docs reasoning is to get as much weight off initially. But, lifelong, there is no way I can sustain this?

I am full after 1-2 ounces. I supplement protein with usopure or a shake during the day. I just want some fresh fruit or a good serving of veggies.....lol.

Should specify that I had a sleeve...sorry. I'm meeting my protein and fluid goals most days. I'm trying to figure out a way to stave off cravings and keep m asking good choices. I had a few cheese crackers and hummus tonight and that satisfied the spicy craving!!

Hi, 8 weeks post op down 51 pounds.....thrilled with the loss. I have followed my pre/post diets to the letter. I'm at the stage where I am able to introduce anything into my diet. For some reason I have had the worst cravings the last 2 or 3 days. I haven't introduced anything except more protein variety....and spinach yesterday! Being real with myself that this lifestyle is not doable long term.....3 meals no snacks. Able to eat 1-2 ounces per meal. I'm trying to be as strong as I can as long as I can to get the most off. Please give me your best way to move beyond the intense cravings.

Clarinet player here....i took 6 weeks off and was shocked when i went back how taxing it is on the abs after surgery. Dry mouth seems to be an issue now. Only 2 days back into playing but I'm glad i took the time! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Sorry. I meant to say you won't need that sports bra until you're cleared for exercise!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Slippers, comfy for the hospital....I wore a light "house coat" that zipped up the front...legging or soft pants for the hotel days and a couple of shirts. Toiletries that you might want ie toothbrush. Something for entertainment. Dry mouth spray was a G-d send. Download Google Translate for while you are there if you don't speak Spanish.

Not quite a month out....started as a 48G and now a 40G. I went braless after the surgery n the hospital so no reason for a sports bra til you get cleared for surgery. I finally bought a new bra this week.....a new bra along with a pair of jeans....lol. Down 35 pounds! And so much more to go Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
