You need to wait for your surgeon to tell you what to do and even then you need to be careful. If I remember correctly Meloxicam is just generic Mobic. There is actually another med that is the...

If I ever get to my goal weight of 160 I will have lost 200 lbs in total. That is so unreal. I'm not going to get my consultation for my skin removal until I hit 180.

It's not at all too much to ask. I unfortunately have an abundance of skin. I've been super open about my experience. I'll probably be taking photos soon so the progress. It's sooooooo not pretty...

I have lost 157 lbs in 16 months. It is completely realistic.

I'm not near your area but if at anytime you need someone to talk to let me know. I will be more than happy to give you my number and you are welcome to call or text any time of the day or night. I...

Yay! I hate that I'm having to still wear some 16s. I have an excessive amount of skin. But when I hit goal all the extra skin will go bye bye.

You look amazing! I'm so proud of you! Keep doing what you are doing!

I had pain with one of my incisions for about a month. It was the largest of all of them. Totally normal.

The gym will be a good outlet for now as well. You can get out some irritation and anger that way. <3 you have totally got this under control. Just a little longer!

Hi!

I'm Jennifer. I had VSG 16 months ago. My starting weight was 360. Today I am 207. I probably could have lost a little more by now but life gets hectic. I have 0 bad things to say about...

Congrats!! I hope you have a fast recovery!

I'm 16 months out and most days I do have food apathy. Nothing ever sounds appetizing. It may look incredible but meh I'm just not interested. However, there are days where I do truly still enjoy...

Oh no. I hope that it's nothing but if it does turn out to be more than that at least now you know. You will get it taken care of ...have your surgery...and move on.

I'll have you in my...

I've struggled a lot the past year seeing the changes. I have moments where I can see there is a small difference but I never realized just how much of a transformation I've made.

I finally got...

I started off far heavier than you and I'm pretty sure I didn't lose 25 lbs the first month. You are doing fantastic!!!

Today is a new day.

Glad you had a pillow fight. :p

I found bacon jerky a few weeks ago. I keep a bag of it in my van since I have to take weekly road trips across the state to bring my older boys to and from their Dad. That way I always have...

When I was only a couple of weeks out I was dying for food. DYING. I put chicken in my mouth...chewed it up...and before I swallowed I spit it out. I was terrified of food. I mourned it. It was...

1600 sounds a little high. As people who were obese we strangely enough need less calories than people who were never obese. I wish I had the link to the minutes but I got to hear it be talked...

Yes this is totally normal. You have swelling and tons of extra fluids right now. I wish I would have been warned before my surgery that this was normal because I was shocked the scale didn't...

It is individual to each person. I was lucky to have started off with a lot of hair so it thinning wasn't a huge issue. By 9 months it had pretty much stopped. I fully believe that it's not just...

That is great news!! Just don't get frustrated if it doesn't move sometimes. I also wish I could go back and stop myself from weighing daily. My surgeon actually had my other half hide the scale...

Put them to the side and try again later. My tastes changed a ton immediately post op. The big one for me was avocado. I couldn't stand it for about 6 months. Now I'm back to my normal avocado...

Oh no!! At least it's only a week but how frustrating. You would think you would know of something like that a bit sooner. However the day you are getting sleeved will be my 1 year anniversary....

I was uncomfortable drinking liquids for a couple of weeks. Between not being able to drink and not being able to eat I thought I was dying. I can drink water like no tomorrow now but I was only...
