Clothing while you're losing weight

You know how kids pants have adjustable elastic waists with buttons? Well, I bought some of the elastic (it came with the buttons) online and sewed it into the waists of my pants 👖 works well! 😉 So Happy for your awesome loss! 👏🏻 -
I have a tip I’m hoping will help someone.. I Hate the stupid daily injections of blood thinner post Surgery... But my husband did some research and when he puts an ice pack on the area for several minutes to numb it first, I can barely feel the injection now and I also don’t get the Huge bruises from it like I was in the hospital. I’m only getting a pinpoint bruise now and much less anxiety about the stupid things! Good Luck!! 👍

Gas X is the most wonderful thing for that pressure feeling. I called my Dr. it’s what they recommended to me. Hope that helps!

I’m so excited! I moved from all clears post-surgery to clears + protein drinks! The protein drinks make me feel more normal again. #LifeIsGood 😊🎉

Hi batty! My doctors told me one of my anti nausea patch’s side effects is blurry vision. They told me never to touch the patch without washing my fingers because of it got in my eyes, it would dilate them. Hope that helps!

Thanks Philly! I’m home since yesterday! I do feel much better each day! I’m able to go upstairs without discomfort, which was unexpected and great! Water will be a BIG focus today. As I still had an IV most of the morning yesterday, I stayed hydrated no problem. Today I’m just planning on continuously drinking small sips. I hope all is well with you Philly and everything goes super smooth!!

Hi Philly! I have dallatd (unsure of spelling there) and an anti-inflammatory I will try to ask the name. They alternate them every 3-4 hours. I also receive 2 kinds of sublingual anti nausea because I very clearly communicated that I have zero desire to throw up, LOL! Feel free to ask me anything you wish. 😃👍

Had surgery on 12th! The first couple hours were suck-ish. But once I got up to my room started feeling better with meds for pain and nausea. I’m glad I didn’t throw up. No nausea right now so I hope it stays that way! The nurses have been responsive and great! I’ve walked many times, which is important to move out the gas. All in all a very positive experience so far! 💙💚💛🧡

Eggbeaters with herbs and veggies have been a saving grace in the evenings to keep me feeling satiated. You can do it! Good Luck to you! 👍 -
I’m being naughty and skipping the company Holiday Party tomorrow... too much food temptation while on this 1000K pre-op diet. I start liquids on Sunday, which I am nervous about as an ovo-lacto Vegeterian. I only have 3 full days of that to get through prior to my surgery on Dec 12th. Any suggestions?
