I have an IUD so at most I get a day or two of spotting during my cycle but since my surgery I’ve been spotting every day. Some heavier than others.
More annoying than anything else really but there you have it

That glow look may also be from taking Vitamins. Just how pregnant woman are glow. Vitamins do a lot. I am still hoping my skin clears up.

I was sleeved 4 days ago. At the recovery room I was in and out but they let my parents see me and everything I remember saying is that it was hot lol... My incisions barely hurts, I do get chest pain from time to time so I take 20mg of Pepcid complete twice a day and for the gases I take Gas-X which has been very helpful...

This is my second day at home and I am under liquids, I have to make sure I drink 60-80 gram of Protein and take my vitamins... My appetite went away so I can see my family eating and I'm not craving to eat the same...

That is always wonderful to hear!

Here we go again!I actually feel fine after my surgery, at least well enough to host one of these challenges.

This challenge will run from June 16, 2017 through August 11, 2017. This will give us a total of 9 weigh ins. I will do my best to post to the spreadsheet within 1 - 2 day of receiving your weight but I will be recovering from surgery, then working three jobs and taking 3 classes so if it takes me a few extra days I am sorry but I WILL have it updated as soon as possible!! Please note that I will recalculate the figures as soon as I can following the Friday weigh in - so your weight percentages may be a little off...
I have made these Friday weigh ins because that will allow us to start as soon as possible. You may post your weight at anytime during the week if Friday is not your weigh in day!

This challenge is for everyone. If you are pre op, post op, in maintenance or looking for some accountability; this challenge is for you! The rules and link to the spreadsheet are below!

Procedures:
Please Post Your Starting Weight (Weight on or around June 16th) Goal Weight (what you would like to weigh at the end of the challenge) at the start of the challenge on June, 16, 2017. Remember this goal weight is only for the end of the challenge, not your ending goal weight!!
You can cut/paste this below and fill it in on your post -

1. I will be awarding a prize to 2 lucky participants! The winners will be selected at random an the only thing you need to do to be eligible for the drawing is log your weight each week!

4. If you miss 2 or more weigh ins, I will assume you no longer want to participate and your name will be removed from the spreadsheet.

The link to the spreadsheet is below! Have fun, and good luck with this challenge!!!

Remember we are all here to support each other! I look forward to running another challenge with you!

You look great!!! Honestly, you look very healthy. I couldn't tell you if you'd look any different if you decided to lose some more, that'll be up to you. As for the fat person in the mirror...please tell her to go away, she's the past and doesn't need to be pestering you with lies and that you're living in the present now. I can only hope that my skin bounces back as well, I'm 38 too and started my surgery with a weight of 244, just a couple of inches taller than you. You've given me hope! Thank you for that. Again, you look amazing and congrats on your success!

Hey guys! My surgery date is July 7th. I just finished the last of my clearance items, but the only thing that's nerve wracking to me is I'm still waiting on insurance approval. They don't even submit to insurance until about 1 month before, which I think is pretty crazy. I'm terrified something is going to happen and I'm going to get denied, because I've already gotten everything ready through work to take off (which was a huge hassle and they weren't happy about it), and I've gathered a whole bunch of supplies! Everyone at the surgeon's office keeps telling me not to worry and that my insurance usually isn't a problem for it, but I'm just nervous because I'm still at the lower end of the weight spectrum for it (weight 228, 5' 4.5", BMI 38ish, high blood pressure). I hope it will all be okay, but I'm not going to relax until I hear the official okay. Did anyone else's surgeon do it this way?--not submitting until about a month before and after all the clearance stuff was done??

A lot of my stuff I ordered from Wal-Mart and had it delivered. I hate going in the store unless I have too.

I am not sure about your plan - but I wasn't allowed Protein Shakes right after surgery as I was supposed to be on Clear Liquids only for 7 days. Maybe that's a part of the problem?

Your 2 days post op and your trying to eat? Maybe I took that the wrong way?

Ya'll are cracking me up! ! Thanks for the giggles!
