hello everyone my name is Michelle I got my surgery done November 4th my highest weight of 251 pound I am currently 224 pounds I lost 10 pounds on my liquid diet and then lost another 17 pounds after surgery I am very happy I did this guess I was regretting it the first couple of days because of the pain that I was feeling but after that I'm only a week out and I feel so much better looking forward to getting to know some of you guys and see what you guys have to say about your experience in your journey wish me luck

Congratulations on your weight loss!! Keep it up and you'll reach your goal weight before you know it..

Thank you ????

Welcome to the forum........always glad to see new faces. You can ask us anything.

I really appreciate your support the only problem I been having is some cramp like pain on my upper stomach I don't know if its normally or not I mostly get it when I drink anything at all I'm only a week out and I don't know if it's normal or it will go way soon

the pain is most likely gas... walk it off...it's really normal

eat slowly and drink slowly

if it persists, contact your doctor...there is no reason to be in pain!

good luck

Congratulations on your surgery and recovery. Mine was on Nov. 3rd and it went perfect no pain whatsoever. I'm glad I made the decision to have the surgery I lost 23lbs since my surgery day..

I'm glad to hear that that is wonderful I hope we can follow each others journey since we are just a day apart. Good luck

We are twins! I lost 10 pre-op and 17 my first two weeks post-op. I stalled at week 3 and 6 but am at 40 pounds lost at week 9. (Actually I have not weighed in a week so I feel like it's probably about 45 now.) What a miracle this surgery is! Lord, it was hard at first, I'll admit. For a month, I wondered why the heck I did it but now it is all coming together. I have a spring in my step, people are noticing, and I have had to buy smaller clothes. Prayers for a smooth recovery for you! You're going to do great!

Thank you and yes we are like twins lol it was hard the first couple of days with the pain and nothing staying down water was so nasty and everything smells funny I hope that goes away and I can drink with out sipping soon did also do you scratch your stomach mien is really itchy

I kept a bag of cotton balls around, and would use one of those to gently tickle the itch.
