  3. You lost 30 pounds in 2 weeks, and 10 pounds in 1 week and you stall. You go a week or two without loosing weight and you freakout, I don't understand. I've only lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks! And I'm upset it hasn't been more. Don't get me wrong I'm thrilled but hey i wish I lost 30 like you did. Relax and realize your body has gone through major changes, let it catch up and recover. Meanwhile rejoice in what you've accomplished.

  8. I had surgery 1/3 and I was in excruciating pain for 2-3 days. That's with pain meds! It gets better I promise. Just remember to get your pain meds every 4 hours, walk as much as possible and use something for the gas!
  9. Wow, you look amazing. But more importantly you must feel great! And being off all your meds is incredible. You've done great, keep it up! I was sleeved on the 4th, haven't even lost an ounce yet and a little discouraged. You're an inspiration because that's where I want to be...off all my meds! Along with a great loss, my health & tha big smile you have on your face. You're beautiful, best of luck continuing your journey!

  13. I cannot help you. I am not there. My suggestion is just that, not a panacea. There are ways to work around things, but you have to find them yourself, not rely on strangers. And when the time comes we will figure it out together. The man I'm dating and me.
  14. What if it's more a problem for you not them but me. I'm thinking a pair of tastefull, lacey, crotchless underwear will do the trick as long as there's a little control top in it. And you're right if someone can't love you for who you are you don't need them in.your life. But I also feel if I don't love myself, how can someone love me?
  15. Littlebill I was married 20 years and lost my husband. I am in a committed relationship now, I don't believe in just having sex with every tom. Dick or harry. Turning out the lights is fine, but the excess skin (mine being all in my belly)null still be hanging in the way. Doesn't make it appealing in.the dark either when it's in the way.
  16. I have the same thoughts. I'm in a long distance relationship. We've discussed my surgery and the end results. We will eventually be together and not long distance and traveling. The sex later with extra skin terrifies me. I need something to hide it until I can have surgery because it's going to disgust me. So I'm stuck too not knowing how to handle that.

  20. Dayna, I woke up in excruciating pain after surgery too yesterday. A mix of gas a pain in my stomach. I finally felt some relief around 6 last night after dilaiuded in recovery and morphine in the room. Walked the halls 3 times, did my breathing and at about 10:00 pm pains came back in full force. Haven't slept yet, pain meds in 5 minutes. Surgery was 8;00a.m yesterdsy..sorry you're having a tough time. I haven't heard too many people have problems like thus so I felt completely blindsided!

  22. Well I got the call have to be at the hospital at 6 a.m. tomorrow. I'm a mess in a good way and a bad way, lol! Here's my before pics, can't believe I'm sharing these but pretty soon they'll be a distant memory. Don't have an accurate weight because every scale is different. I was 247.8 at home this morning(and I'll do check-ins here too), which is 12# less than my PCP scale. My highest weight was 300+#'s. First goal is to finally get under 200! Final goal see pics below
