I like traveling and have been to the UK 3 times in the last 3 years, to Niagra, Cali, etc. I want to get back into creative things after 3 decades of doing only Mom things.

Well, I like long walks on the beaches, 60s tunes, great movies, and laughing with friends and family. I like candlelight dinners and cooking/entertaining and having long deep conversations in bed as I drift off to sleep.
Oh...maybe you didn't mean it that way. LOL.

You can always tell them that any carbonated beverage can contribute to bone loss. So encourage them to stop there sodas too. Just a thought

Oh. Ok that makes sense. I'm going to blame the dilaudid for failing to get that.

The strawberries and cream is good too. Tastes like the strawberry milk I loved as a kid.

I tend lose first in my upper abdomen. The bottom half is already a hanging mess so will likely only get flatter over time. I have the turkey neck, arm wings, and the craziest back hips. They stick out so far I could balance a cup on them. It'd be cute if it were my butt, but I know from my mom, grandma and sister that I too, am a member of the flat ass club. Will be interesting to see how I look over time after my sleeve.

Butt cheek flab 4 sale- cheap. Will even ship to the right interested party. Only used for 73 years but a few more miles of wear left on tread. All offers considered. Actually only,72, but it's time for the new model years to come out of Detroit.[emoji33]

So lemme ask you? What are you eating.
And then the bi*chy part. Just because you CAN eat way more than you're supposed to, doesn't mean you SHOULD eat way more than you're supposed to...
You know? It is up to each one of us to follow our surgeon's rules to the letter of the law, or as closely as we understand them. Right? If it says at 1 month, you're supposed to be eating 1/4c of food 6 times a day...then make it so!
I don't have feelings of satiety right now either at only 2 weeks. None of us will. We just have to blindly try our hardest to process the information they give and follow it.
Once you start eating dense Protein first, not drinking before or after meals, etc, and kicking carbs to the very end IF you have room, you will start feeling restriction. Swearsies.
And in the meantime, 27 fu*king pounds in 1 month is incredible. Makes me want to cut a bit*h. LOL.
Deep congratulations to you on 27lbs!!!! That's amazing and outstanding. Are you overjoyed?
(Sorry for the newbie-splaining. Newbie splaining=When a new post-op baripatient tries to give advice to anyone as if they know what the fu*k is going on.)

Why do you even defend yourself instead of just rising an eyebrow? How can one "cheat weight loss"? That's a quite ridiculous thought in itself.
If I respond verbally at all I usually say people are cheating at washing clothes because they use a washing machine instead of going down to the river and slapping their panties on a stone to clean them.
A raised eyebrow combined with a "So?" is also usually enough to shut people up.

This comment made me smile. And laugh. Lots of laughter...

All the best. I'm still about 6 weeks away from mine.

My BMI is 66 and had been as high as 69. I know my body is going to be a mess.

Wow you look great!

Trust me I thought that at one point to but put that crap outta your head and you’ll do awesome I’m sure trust me!!!!! Best of luck to you!!!!!!

I have thought the same as another reader, that my higher weight wouldn't allow me to get to a normal weight (362 now, for a 5'3" woman), but your progress gives me hope. Men really seem to drop weight fast but I hope I can too.

Just an update everyone. My surgery has been postponed due to insurance approval issues. In a way I’m glad I have more time to think of all my fears. I did more research and concluded lap band is way riskier than the sleeve so I informed my family about the complications and their coming around. Thank you everyone for your kind words they are greatly appreciated!

Thank you I needed that ❤️

3 weeks into a bariatric program. Hoping for my sleeve surgery in May. 7 pounds lost in 3 weeks.

I have more gas but it's not that painful. I just fart. It stinks more than it ever did before though, oowhee

Boobs. They're gone....
LOL

What little bit I've,lost so far pre surg my belly has got less firm. Not jigglely but softening down . And my face has gotten thinner but I was giving credit to age not weight,loss. My arms, wrists and fingers never were fat. My rump and thighs--' that is a different story. I could smother a full grown person with my rotund rump. The day I can sing Bye Bye Buttocks Bye Bye will be a happy day in Chez Frust8.[emoji7] And the Thunder Thighs won't even be a soft rain. I'll go through liquid shake Hades to achieve thst, yogurt and popsicle myself,to the verge of extinction. You all did it, well by gum I can do it too![emoji324][emoji324][emoji324]
