Congratulations!

It's an oldie but a goodie. ?

Onederland! It's been 30+ years since a 1 was the first digit in my weight! That's 93 lbs since surgery.

Congratulations!

^^^^^ What they said. The scale tells the truth, but only half the truth. Buy you a body tape measure and start seeing the amazing things happening.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Please take care of yourself and eat a little something. God bless.

Yes!!!! Me too. I never saw either. Both were in and out while I was in lala land.

When I woke up I was completely comfortable. No pain until I talked. Then I had a bit of scratch in my throat from the intubation. I also had a little irritation first time out from the urine catheter. Honest, I felt great. They do so much now to prevent pain in the incision areas. I swear I didn't even have the gas pressure issues. With that said, be careful getting up and moving around. It may not feel like it but you just had surgery. Also, the posters above covered it really good. I took my phone/charger, ear buds,underwear for under the gown and a pair of flip flops. Good luck on your surgery and keep us posted.

Today's the day! Good luck and congratulations!!!

I was lucky. I had banked a ton of leave. I stayed out for 1 month.

I've tried several and absolutely love the Body Fortress chocolate whey isolate.

Congratulations!

I got mine done in St. Augustine. I'm new to the panhandle.

Well, 3 months have gone by since my surgery and I wanted to throw a little bit of what's been happening out there. At surgery I weighed 292 lbs, this morning I weighed 230 lbs. Happy New Year to me!! In July I was 317 lbs, most I will ever weigh. I haven't had alot of issues so far. I'm hoping that trend continues into the New Year and beyond! I look forward to reading posts on this site. It has really helped me through all of this! I stalk more than I talk so, with that in mind, Happy New Year everyone and congratulations on your personal victories! This site is full of amazing people.

Congratulations! Our plans sound a bit different so don't go outside your team's guidelines, but here is the info I was provided for the 2 weeks. 1 word of advice, start pushing hard to get the water in by little sips from a shot glass every day. It will take alot of effort. I downloaded a water timer and had it going off every few minutes. That will pay in dividends in 2 weeks when you can't chug water (if you are in Habit of chugging water. I'm really talking about me. Lol.) Good luck and you've got this!
