8 weeks post op!

Heyy Heyy guys!! So it's my 8 week post op.. I'm down 51 pounds!! It feels amazing. I can honestly say this is the best decision I've EVER made in my life, besides marrying my best friend in da whole world who also is 5 weeks post op and has lost a total of 30 pounds. This is insane! Our skins are so dry, and my incisions still feel like their itchy, scaly and sometimes they leak a yellow fluid. Is dat normal?? Besides that were doing GGGGREAT ! How's everyone feeling??

Congrats on amazing success! I'm 7 weeks post op and down 43lbs. Feels awesome! My incisions are completely healed and have momentary itchiness here and there. Yours are oozing??? I would def bring that to the attention of your Surgeon and make sure that's not cause for concern. Keep up the good work!

HOW AWESOME YOU HAVE AN IN HOUSE BUDDY TO GO THROUGH IT WITH. CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH

HEY AND TO YOU TO @@mduffield ON THAT 43LBS. WONDERFUL.

What a change in only 8 weeks! Congratulations!!

Congrats! Regarding the dry skin, try some coconut or body oil. It really helps. Put it on after a shower, before you dry yourself, then pat dry. As far as the incisions, I would have the Dr check them if I were you. Mine were completely healed on the outside by my 4 week check up. Another girl at the check up had yellowish discharge and she had an infection and had to get some antibiotics for it. Good luck to you both! I think it's awesome you guys are in this together!

Happy for you, keep up the grateful work. Dry skin is normal, I mix coconut cooking oil with my lotions that seems to help me alot. I am 6 weeks out and lost 56 so far hit a space of about 3 was with no loss but then it started coming down don't get discouraged if you exp experience same just kept moving and you will see

Oops I ment to say I am 9 was post not 6
