Congrats! I had the same story, never any pain, felt great right away. I used a charity thrift store, St. Vincent de Paul to get transition clothes as I changed sizes in order to pay $2 or $3 per item rather than $20+ per item while I was losing. It worked out well. I changed sizes about every 20 pounds.

Awesome thanks!

Congratulations! Quick and easy recoveries are the best surprise anyone can get.
I began to need new clothes 4 months post op, then again at 1 year post op. I’ve basically been in the same wardrobe since then adding and subtracting only if needed.

Thank you!! I'm looking forward to smaller clothes and to get rid of this stomach. I just want to get back to a size 12 again lol.

Thank you so much and good luck with your surgery. I think you will be just fine. Just try to walk as much as u can tolerate once you're able to.

Thanks for sharing your experiences ladies! I appreciate you 🧡

Hey y'all! I had my surgery on 2/17, was discharged on 2/18, and back to work on 2/21 (against my doctor's advice). I have been in the gym almost everyday for an hr on the treadmill and I'm down 15lbs so far. My doctor thinks I'm nuts for going back to work so soon, but I sit at a desk all day and I honestly have very little pain. I don't even use the pain meds. My only struggle is eating pureed foods for another week. My doctor skipped the liquid diet and put me straight to pureed foods.

My starting weight was 280lbs and 1 week later I'm at 265lbs. I'm excited !! Just curious as to when others started noticing that a smaller wardrobe was needed?
