Well I'm only 3 days post op and I can't imagine going back to work or school. I'm still in pain but I can walk with no nausea. Everything happens for a reason...

How is everyone doing? I'm in the hospital still, they said 2 days. Ready to go back to my family. So far I've been able to hold down water soup and jello. I had my leak test this morning and everything looked great. Once I leave here I know it's sip sip sip all day long, Pain level is up and down still and still no bowel movement sorry for tmi But I'm scared to go, feels like my stomach will fall out. Everything happens for a reason...

I'm so excited and nervous, trying my hardest not to focus on too much. Just want some friends to support me. Everything happens for a reason...

Ear plugs and a eye mask too I need a good book to read now... Everything happens for a reason...

I did pack underwear lol, I do have lip balm in there too. I cannot forgot the pillow! I'm literally down the street from where I will be having surgery, but I was told still to bring one. Everything happens for a reason...

I absolutely love Thrive, but after surgery not too sure how it will work for me. Do you take it? Have taken it? What is your experience? Everything happens for a reason...

Tell me what you brought and what not too bring, I'm scheduled for 3/2/17 I packed what I think I should bring but don't want to miss anything Here is what I packed: Robe Slippers Socks Comfy leggings / shirt Hygiene PRODUCTS Gas x strips Binder/for after surgery Pads (I heard you can start pms ) Phone & charger Medicines What am I missing? Everything happens for a reason...

I'm scheduled for 3/2/17 as well, I use to wear Thrive DFT label. They were vitamins that lasted all day long. They were awesome. They also have vitamins and protein shakes that I love too. Everything happens for a reason...

Berkeley, California (Bay Are ) Everything happens for a reason...

I've always struggled with heavy, long , and painful cramps. Does it get better with the weight loss? Everything happens for a reason...

I'm planned for next week too!!! My bag is packed and just knocking out the things at home that need to be done prior. I'm excited and nervous and happy and scared lol a roller coaster ride Everything happens for a reason...

How are you doing? Everything happens for a reason...

Me three! Everything happens for a reason...

Hello I'm new as well and loving this site so far. I'm a 31 married momma of 4 myself I gained almost 100lbs over the years of pregnancy. I'm finally done with growing our family and want my body back lol I've always struggled with my weight, teased throughout my whole life. I am scheduled for my surgery next week and have soooo much going on that my mind will be busy.

March 2nd!!!one week countdown

I'm so happy to come across this app! I am nervous and excited! I have not told anyone except my husband and mom. How will people react when they see me... Please share any helpful tips with me! I packed my bag today too!

My guess is everyone who has the surgery "loses" weight therefore they're a "loser" no pun intended. And going to a bench is a team term.

Hi Melissa, I choose to have the surgery because of family history of high blood pressure and diabetes. I've always been on the bigger size throughout my life. I had children and packed on the pounds and now I'm at a point in my life that I want to be there for my kids and not be just a statistic. I'm excited and scared but the more research I do the more comfortable and expectations I have. I have not told family or friends except my husband and my mom and one friend because I honestly don't care what anyone has to say. I want to be healthy and love all of me!

I was told too lose 15lbs pre op, I will find out tomorrow how much I have since my last weigh in.
