After I reach my goal and after I have plastics on my stomach, I think I will have my boys names tattooed on my belly. They are twins so I'm going to put their names where they laid while I was...

I had big plans to take an online digital photography class and focus on taking pictures of my children. I haven't gotten to it yet. I really need to find something though because I see myself...

I also have/had PCOS. I don't think it has hindered my weight loss at all. Went to my 6 month check up yesterday and am 12 pounds away from the target weight she set for one year. My skin is...

I remember that frustration. It will happen, trust me. You may still have a little swelling and may be retaining fluids. Good luck. At some point, you'll be changing sizes every other week it...

Thanks guys for the responses. Yes, this is a goal set by my surgeon. I am very proud of what I have accomplished. This surgery has given me a life again. I'm just a little worried she will be...

So I have my 6 month post op appointment with the surgeon Friday and I am 14 pounds away from her goal. Please tell me I am not alone and that others haven't met their goal. Don't get me wrong, I...

I had the same pain and it ended up being relieved by a massive bowel movement. That pain was the worst part of my recovery process. I hope that this is your issue and it's not related to anything...

I was having issues with this as well and my gyn recommended I go to a compounding pharmacy. Apparently they compound Borax into capsules that you insert vaginally. This is supposed yo help...

Same here. I am a dental hygienist so I get some really strange looks from my patients since my stomach is right at their ears. It's quite comical!

So sweet!

I went through this a couple of weeks ago. I was miserable. It was actual hunger not head hunger or gas, in my opinion anyway. I ate whatever I was craving at the moment. This lasted about 4 days...

Well, insurance required I do a 6 month program with my weight management center so I started that in July. Had to lose a certain percentage of weight before i would be considered for the surgery....

I have PCOS. I had surgery in December but started having regular periods in September while losing my pre surgery weight. For some reason this month I'm all out of whack again. I have read stories...

Lordy I hope it's not menopause! I'm only 32. Was hoping to have one more baby. Now I'm a little freaked out.

So I was sleeved December 13, 2012. After I started losing weight pre op, my cycle returned in September and was regular every month, to the day. I am now two weeks late. I have taken two pregnancy...

Wear shorts and a sleeveless top instead of black pants and 3/4 length sleeves all summer. And go to watermarks with my 3 year olds.

I wear them all the time, even while working out. I can do my Kickboxing class and not have my belly bouncing all over the place! I hate that they are a necessity though. Plastic surgery is...

Calvin Klein button fly jeans, circa 1997. I loved them and I will rock them again!

So just curious if this happens to anyone else and why. I went through my first two week stall, that ended last week. Now the weight fluctuates from 227 to 229, I realize that's not a huge...

Congratulations on all of your victories!

It could also be the antibiotic. Sounds like you are taking it on an empty stomach. Try drinking a little of your shake before you take it to coat your stomach. Feel better soon!

I love edemame. Where do you get the dry roasted?

I am almost a month out. My surgeon used surgical glue instead of staples or stitches. My scars are pretty much invisible.

Amazing!

I had the same problem. My pain medication was lortab elixir so I assumed it was from that because when I stopped my medication it went away as well. No amount of tongue scrubbing helped.
