I'm so nervous for this change that I managed to crap myself in the shower. And I'm a state corrections officer in a men's prison, for Christs sake.

Here we go, everyone. Wish me luck, prayers, good energy, healing, or whatever you believe in- I will take it. Love you all.

Work it girl!!! Good for you!! :) I've had a few surgeries where they pump you full of gas, and the best/only way to keep it from hurting or get it to stop, is walk your butt off!! Lol Plus, I always found it kept me from getting stiff, which is no fun with new incisions!!

I'm so happy for you! You'll do great!! keep up updated... between naps!! Lol ;)

Honestly, as much as you feel like you can! I had a lap band, lap band removal and lap band replacement, and all 3 surgeries required a body full of gas!! As soon as I felt up to it, I started walking. It can be deceptive because getting out of bed is the hardest part of the walk! Don't decide you can't walk just because you are sore getting up!! Start walking and see how you feel.

I would walk a couple laps around the hospital floor until I got tired and then go rest for a little while and start over. If you can do 10 mins every hour the first few days without hurting, do it!! After my lap band removal I was stuck in bed from complications with the surgery, and wow could I feel the difference from not walking. That surgery was the worst with gas pain. And pain meds don't help gas pains!! lol Just gotta get moving!! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
