  3. Awesome ! Thank you ! I'll check that out
  4. I appreciate it, thank you !

  6. I've seen a lot of people using retinol for scars. Does anyone has any recommendations on what exactly they use ? Thanks !! Happy New Year to everyone as well!!
  7. We should! Because hit that wall of bricks with weight loss ? and idk what to do to push through it for my body to get past it. #losersclubmember
  8. Is the retinol something you can buy at any store ? Ugh I need to get it.
  9. I need to try this! Mine are still pink and so sensitive!
  10. My incisions are healed... But they're sensitive and so they hurt sometimes and idk why ?!?! And does anyone have any suggestions on treating the scarring to have them fade?? Thanks !
  11. Aww hey surgery twin!!? I'm trying to just stay positive about it and be patient. Thank you so much !!
  12. Lol well count me in ? any tips from anyone on how to get pass the slow losing stage?
  13. It's really frustrating ? ugh
  14. I don't even own a scale ? I refuse. I go by how close fit etc. But I feel like I should be melting. But I was also told that you'll melt the bigger you are before surgery. I was 248( I'm only 5'2") so I'm short and was considered obese and had health problems prior. Maybe that's it ? no clue . But it is upsetting. But I'm keeping head up ! Thank you so much !!
  15. Thank you so much ! Hope you're feeling a lot better !
  16. It's been discouraging. But glad to know it's normal . I've been sticking to everything though so hopefully it'll continue to drop. Thank you !
  17. I don't feel like I'm losing much weight.. others said they "notice" a difference.. but I can't tell at all.. which is rather discouraging.. I had my surgery on 11/15/19.. does losing weight hit some kind of peak a few weeks out and then start up again..or ?? Ahhh[emoji17]
  18. I had to spend the whole weekend in the hospital after surgery because of the intense pain I was experiencing with the cramping up. None of the staff helped me in or out of bed at all. I was in a lot of pain especially on the 6th day. The 3rd to 6th day are the worst pain days. Hang in there and let them know all the pain you're feeling. Hope you get relief!
  19. Talk to your surgeon. They ended up prescribing me muscle relaxers. It was hell for me especially after surgery! Worst pain I've ever felt before !! It'll get better with time as well I promise. My post op was a nightmare and I thought I was going to lose my mind also. Hang in there and try not to use your muscles to get in and out of bed or sitting. I did that and I cramped up so bad it was awful
  20. Its such an odd feeling. I was with family a couple weekends ago and ate a few soft tomatoes and I was satisfied (it was a birthday party and they had a little snack tray or big food) and my family was like "that's all youre eating?! That was small!". I said "yea lol I'm missing 85 percent of my stomach, I eat small stuff now" ???‍♀️
  21. Hahaha it messing with my mind I'm like "how did I not finish that ?! What's going on?!" ??
  22. Ohh okay gotcha. I haven't had any issues with foods except the one time I dumped from trying a food. I haven't tried anything I'm not suppose to have, but I've had no problem with keeping stages of foods down at all.
  23. What is the iron pouch??? Never heard of it ?. And I'm 3 weeks post op and I can hold down anything but I'm just not hungry most of the day , which is new for me (I was use to being hungry often prior to surgery) . And yesss I'm questioning what will be after the honeymoon stage as well !
  24. Exactly! I see how small I ate and I'm like "is something wrong ? How is it that I can eat so little now ?". It hasn't caught up to me yet. Its such a weird feeling and will take some getting use to for sure ?
