This surgery is one of the reasons I had this surgery. No period for over a year unless medically induced. I was hoping I woulf get one this month because I hate having to take pills for it to come. Alas nothing. I guess I should justvtake my progesterone and carry one.

I enjoyed my food funeral and found it to be a good part of the process. I also made myself a lot more aware of when/what and why I had chosen to eat things.

Hi Everyone! I had Gastric Bypass done September 21,2016 and it was the best choice I have ever made! This Journey to a new me has been amazing and I love the look of shock on peoples faces when they see Ive lost 138 in 7 months! I work out hard kickboxing 3 days a week and cardio in the gym another 1 to 2 days a week it takes alot of hard work but if you want it bad enough tou have to fight for it! Best of Luck to everyone out there!

It was a tough read but honestly that one of the reasons I wanted to lose weight. Who cold carry me? If I needed to be rescued who could do it?
It is just a reminder to be diligent about your health and not to take anything for granted.

Glad you are okay, OP.

I love cauliflower pizza. Just bit of a hint. Get a cheese cloth and squeeze the living crap out of it. You want as much Water out of it as you can. When you put in the oven flip the crust around I did it 3 or four times. Then you can load it up with what you want on it and throw it back in to melt or freeze the crust for another day.

I got my instant pot from Amazon too... Here is their website though.

Did you already get a slow cooker? If not- go for an Instant Pot instead. It has a pressure cooker feature that is fabulous and you can make your own yogurt! Do a google search on Instant Pot recipes. There are a lot!

When your skinny jealous sister in law spends more time in the gym after seeing you lol!

When you sit down on the toilet and your legs all fit in the toilet with none hanging over the sides!!

When someone gives you a hug and they are able to wrap their arms around you!!

When you go back and visit your surgeon a year later and even HE almost can't believe I'm the same person.

When you realize you really do have knee caps!

You know you've lost weight when...

You can go to the State Fair and ride ALL the rides, comfortably! The hubs took me on saturday, and I had a blast! Next stop Six Flags!

When I get into the tub and my body is actually under Water and my stomach is not sticking out!

LOVE this thread. Just what I needed to get me on my treadmill this morning!!! You ALL rock!!
All I can add right now is:
....when you realize the shelf you used to rest your hands during sitting has dropped about 6". When did THAT happen? lol

Arf! I did this for the first time EVER last month. I thought I'd NEVER be able to do it. 50 YO man jumping on a trampoline!

My own: The cheap vinyl molded lawn chairs that everyone sells no longer look like death traps ready to collapse on first sit, and the arms don't "grip" to your rear end when getting out of them either!

When you can go into penny's and buy a 44R sport coat off the rack when last suit was a 54R.
When you realize your mpg is going up due to less weight being carried in the car.

:lol:

When your collar bones come out of hiding

When you can get on a horse with out the help of a tailgate of a truck or a step ladder! I rode my horse for the first time yesterday since I had my surgery! I loved it and I think she did too!

When you can comfortably sit in an airplane seat without needing a seat belt extender

1 step further....... When you can fit comfortably in the rides at amusements parks
