Had surgery on April 10th wednesday home by April 12th friday. sore of course when i got home but no bowel movement for ten days turns into small bowel obstruction. back in hospital on april 17th wednesday a week later and surgery again. woke up with a nasogastric tube a g tube with drainage bag. they capped off naso tube on sunday until then only ice chips which didn't start until friday. now after the first surgery was tired and a little weak but now when i get a little tired or short of breath i can sit down for a few minutes and i am ready to go again it is the weakness that is worst than before. right now may 6 I still have the g tube which has been great for taking meal replacements and water into because the smell of the meal replacement causes my stomach to turn. and i can crush all my vit and other meds and put them in my tube. only foods that i have been able to eat since surgery is small curd cottage cheese' date=' greek yogurt, tuna, jello and pickles. i tried to eat grilled chicken and veg beef soup after each bite i felt it stop in my throat and i didn't feel relief until i regurgitated it. I have no appetite so guess it is just better for me to continue meal replacements and protein powder and drink my water. Was told that the g tube would be in for 6 weeks. don't really mind it because i can push the meal replacement mixed only with water through my tube. If i didn't have it i would have mixed the meal replacement with skim chocolate milk like i did pre surgery.[/quote']

That is weird my bra was the first place I noticed

Just tried on my size 22 Levis that I LOVE! they were too loose! I almost died! The butt and legs are so baggy, I can't even wear them. What a great feeling. I have them in size 20, 18, and 16 too. I'll have to dig them all out soon! By the time it gets cold enough for jeans again, I hope they are all too big. I'm loving this today!

Yay!! My pants aren't big enough yet for a new size, but they look a little bit like a soggy diaper around my butt! Super loose on the legs, too! I wish I had a collection of sizes like you. I see a lot of leggings and tunics in my near future!

Wish I would've done measurements beforehand. My legs are definately smaller. Before my body was hard, like hard fat. Now everything is soft and wobbly. Does that make sense?? Anyway a change.

Yes because when you weight more the fat made your skin tight the same thing happen to my belly now its all jiggly oh well were losers lol I cant wait until I run into someone I havent seen for awhile and see their reaction when I lose more

Congrats to u all can i ask a question though is the clothes thing since surgery or since you started the process...like ate they clothes that were too tight 6 mo ago or clothes that were too tight right before surgery. And whats the weight loss Im sorry for all the questions just im so confused ive lost 22lbs and my clothes are almost tighter
