    redhead_che got a reaction from ginse in Post Op Bra Size   
    Can I just say I never thought I’d be going from a 38G to a 32D? 32 band size, what? 😳
    But rant wise, I’ve gone through 4 sets of bras since starting this journey 9 months ago. I just bought 3 new ones in the hopes the girls are done shrinking at 5lbs from goal 🤞 But when the bra gap game gets too strong...gotta cave and shop!
    Anyone else enjoying the shelling out for new bras every 2 months or so? 😂

    I'm also in the man/pedi club when I reach milestones. Although in a pound I'll be in the piercing/tattoo club! My first tattoo...if I got a piercing that wouldn't be the first but apparently body modification is my BIG present to myself at final goal

    redhead_che got a reaction from Malcy in 5 pounds to my goal!   
    5 pounds until I reach my goal weight of 127. Surgiversary November 28th 2018 so plenty of time left to kick these pounds to the curb.
    And as always I thank my ex for allowing me to keep using this before photo since it’s the only one of my almost highest weight I have! 😂

    I did it y’all! I finally started upgrading my wardrobe. Like for clothes just about at goal! Found out I’m a 6 or medium in bottoms and a small or medium in tops 😳 who ever would have thought?! I’m so pleased with how this journey is going and I hope you all are having great success too!

    I’m 10 months out and still pull strands out in the shower occasionally...and my brush does it too sometimes 😂 small price to pay for being 2lbs from goal now. I try to keep perspective 🤷🏼‍♀️

    redhead_che got a reaction from clsumrall in Post op pain - be honest   
    I have a high pain tolerance too, but I'll be 100% honest: I hit that pain med button every time I could and took every pain pill they gave me post-op. Major abdominal surgery is no joke and the pain, while different for everyone, is definitely real. But I was the perfect post op patient, walking tons, following my plan, getting my fluids in etc etc. I just didn't want to be in pain while doing it if I didn't have to be.

    I ate Taco Bell today and I’m not beating myself up about it. Because I’m almost a year post op and gosh darn it if I want a quesadilla, I’m gonna eat one 😈

    redhead_che got a reaction from FluffyChix in Vrylar Anyone?   
    Not at all, it made me giggle And I wasn't offended necessarily by the other individual, but it did kind of make it sound like that's all it's used for when I think pretty much everyone knows these types of medicines can be helpful in a variety of diagnoses. Don't want ya'll thinking I'm flying off the deep end

    I might end up calling my surgeon's office just to clear it with their nurses/him. The prescribing doc is thrilled about my sleeve, but admittedly doesn't know a lot about it!

    It's also prescribed for other mental health concerns besides Bipolar disorder. But I don't care to disclose my personal struggle in that regard. But I know a lot of folks on here struggle with various forms of mental health concerns so thought I'd ask! My doc did say it's relatively new!

    Just out of curiosity since I haven’t ate food in like 2 days, I got on the scale. Wanna get 2.5lbs away from goal? Get the stomach bug 😂

    Anyone had the common cold/stomach bug after WLS and have it completely knock ya on your booty? -raises hand- currently experiencing this and it is either an intense version of whatever virus, or post op sickness is just different 😂 either way...holy moly I feel terrible.
