Today I woke up feeling much better. I slept longer and ate a little more. My surgery was on monday and I was 246 now I am 234. My rings and jeans are feeling loose too. My kids say that they can tell the weight loss on my face. Things are looking good!!

Now I am just waiting for my incisions to heal and that will make a world of a difference.

It really helped to come on this forum and read words of encouragements. THANKS to all of you who respond!

Have a blessed day everyone!

Wow, look at you, congrats! You are wearing jeans? I seriously spent a week with no underwear on and sheer type nightgowns and I waited until my first surgeon appointment to attempt underwear and stretch pants (I had a drain removed at day 9).

Good luck healing, every single day is better than the day before!

thanks Mina! I was lucky not to have a drain. My incisions are no where near my waist line. honestly today was the first day I felt comfortable wearing a bra. At this rate I don't think my bras will be fitting me much longer hehe!

Fabulous NSV's! I loved the process of change as the weight came off. Every day does get a 100 times better.

Welcome sounds like you are doing well, I would recommend getting some yoga pants to wear around the house while you recover, I had a pair of black ones and I was able to wear them to work without looking to bad…LOL! Keep us posted on your progress.

some incisions are higher then others...mine were all in the upper area too. I was able to wear jeans right out too. everyone is right in saying that everyday gets better and better. I felt like the weight came off of my face the fastest too, which I loved. congrats on getting sleeved!

Yoga pants were my best friend for the first few weeks. Bra, not so much, only wore it when I left the house. Glad to hear you are doing well, you look fantastic!

Hey Crafty, so glad to hear you are feeling better. We were both on Monday. I stayed in hospital an extra night as I wasn't keep up the good work!

doing too well with swallowing and I had some extra procedures. I've been dressing exclusively tee shirt dresses. Very comfy. I'm still a little sore but have only taken pain med once. My only real issue is my left shoulder and chest area. It's like I have one big gas pocket.

Thanks everyone!!!

On my way to buy yoga pants! Ineed to get out of this house
