Brenda, at 11 weeks out, I can take a pretty big drink of water. I'm in Texas and we've already started our 100+ day streaks and I've enjoyed several large drinks of ice cold water when I've gotten...
Congrats... it gets better and better... enjoy!!
Nancy, don't get discouraged... I lost TWO pounds in June... that's right 2. BUT, I kept losing inches, my clothes kept getting looser and I just kept on going. I didn't think I was ever going to...
Freakin' awesome!
I've taught my daughter to stop when her tummy says stop. It's actually hard for her to throw food away because she feels like she is wasting (she is 10) but I've told her over and over, I don't...
I'm 11 weeks out and not a single regret! Best decision I ever made and just wish I had known about it sooner. Good luck to you on your journey. And if my weight loss looks "slower" than some,...
Hi John...You're doing great! Your BMI ticker prompted me to calculate mine and I've gone from 40.5 to 33.82... that's all the way from Obese Class 3 (Morbid), to Obese Class 1... LOL who ever...
You look great Diane! I love how as your body gets smaller your smile gets bigger !!!
I bought an Ahhh Bra at WalMart and loved it... wore it everywhere for the two weeks after my surgery along with my yoga pants! Unfortunately, it didn't provide enough support for girls when I went...
I started with Dulcolax, but then my PA told me that it contains a stimulant and that your bowels can become dependent on it... she recommended Mirolax which works just fine... water and walking help...
Best of luck Texas Mom! It gets easier with each new day, although it may get a little tough before you actually get to eat "regular" food again... just keep coming here, reading everyone's stories,...
Diane, I was the exact same way... felt like at first every pound I lost was from the boobs up; however, this month, even though the scale hasn't been moving, I started shrinking from the waist down!...
Thanks Emily! And you are doing awesome... love the beautiful profile picture... the smile says it all !!!
went shopping with my daughter today at The Gap... saw some super cute shorts and thought, what the heck, I'll try them on, and they FIT!!! And the even better part, I can tell in another couple of...
I'm so sorry you had a bad experience and I do pray it gets better for you. I had the exact opposite experience and couldn't have been happier with my surgeon, my surgery and the facility (Dr....
Diane, at my 6 week check in I was cleared to eat whatever I want, in moderation, etc etc... I've been stalling while dealing with my father's medical issues (he went into MDAnderson 3 days after my...
Awesome! Continued success to you...
I was using Dulcolax, but my PA told me yesterday not to use it because it contains a stimulant and your bowels can become dependent on it... she recommended Miralax instead. Also said that I could...
I had my 5 week post-op visit yesterday and my PA released me of all diet restrictions (actually 5.5 weeks... I think 6 weeks is average to get released). I had green beans and other soft veggies...
Thanks Diane! I think my entire 26 lbs lost is from the chest up...LOL... I do love the new look of my face without quite so many extra chins... still have a few to go! I had my Center email my...
Just had my 5 week post-op visit and these are most important things I took away...
Food -- PA said really important to measure by volume at this point as that feeling we get in our chest when...
Great job... you look amazing! My 50th is on June 7 so we're almost twins!
Congratulations! I got my sleeve exactly one month before you and I do love it!!! It gets easier every day, just take it slow and let your body have the time it needs to heal. Wishing you...
Your pictures are amazing, but thing I like best is your SMILE in the after photos! That makes it all worth while (and the skinny clothes too !)
