M going to start this everyone who is in November add your date and where your from . I'm crystal I'm nov 6 I'm in Toronto Canada

Ok now Im 4 days post op. The weight is exploding off at 2.5 pounds per day. I've lost 20 total with pre op. i think part of it is doc has me on clear liquids for two weeks post op.Tomorrow Im going to start walking again. Today I pulled out my on-q pump. I also use a heating pad at night in lower back to try to help circulation. I believe it helps a great deal. My wife and I went to the grocery store today. That was a mistake! Food' date=' food and more food. Not a lot that any good for you. Lots of obese people as well. Not that Im judging, Im just wondering how bad Americans are getting with overweight. Once I make some progress ill do some pics. My beginning pic is downright scary![/quote']

20 lbs! That's great LA! I can't wait to see pics either! Keep pushing forward!

I think this is a great idea I can't wait to see what sizes I breeze through.

Thanks dotted. If more people are interested, I'll start the thread. I'm excited to see the size changes. My sister wants me to think about a bathing suit for the cruise in May!

Hey my new wls family.... Just thought I would drop by and say hey and good luck to the people having surgery tomorrow ya'll are in my prayers... On a side note my doctor requires a 2 week liquid diet for surgery so I will be starting that soon and will be on it through thanksgiving which will be tough so my family decided to surprise me this weekend with a thanksgiving dinner at my house and the best part was I didn't even have to cook any of it lol.... I sure do love my family and how supportive they are

That is awsome I hope when I have my surgery done I will have some good results like this... However right now I am just waiting for my surgery

Yes, they certainly are scary! Never was a fan of them. Maybe this year I'll be more comfy depending on my loss. A dress for a wedding! That should be fun finding something fresh to wear. I think we're all going to do great!

I had a great idea for anyone that is preop. I hate wearing a hospital gown so I took my pjs with me pants and underwear. Then I took a tank top and cut the shoulders and addes velcro. Then I could just step into it without worry of my ivs. The nurses thought this was great and no hospital gown. Ya.

Ready to go.... November 20th !!!

Sarah that's a great idea!!! I'm going to go home and start sewing so I can have 2 tops for while I'm in there

That is a great idea! My hospital had me wearing a gown in front and one in back and a billion wires running everywhere. It was a nightmare getting up to walk and potty, so anything that makes this better is a wonderful idea!

This morning I finally had a "movement." Nothing spectacular but my first since operation. Then I walked pretty leisurely for about a mile. That was pushing it a bit too far. Then weighed for another 2 pound loss. Later today Im going to start going through clothes. I need to get rid of a lot of old clothes and clothes that are one too big maybe.
