I felt great day 1 and 2, then day 3 happened and it was miserable. Everything got better from that point though. I’m now at Day 6 and doing quite well. I wish you a speedy recovery, and hopefully you feel just as good (or better) in the coming days.

Watch a version of your op on Youtube. Maybe see an episode or two of "Fat Doctor" or "Weight Loss Ward" or "The Obesity Myth" ... you will glean a great deal if you want to learn.

After my surgery, I lost my ability to swallow medium to large pills. But this condition is not permanent. About 2 months post-op, this problem dissolved away. During the two months, I had to either split or crush my vitamins. The worse was Calcium. They were large horse pills and when crushed they tasted like chalk. The way I was able to get these down was to mix the powder in with a glass of crystal light. I would mix it and chug it down. There was always paste left over at the bottom of the glass, so I added some more Crystal Light and chug it down again and again. After about 4 or 5 times, I had consumed the calcium paste.

Being able to walk in a clothing store, and choose WHATEVER i want! Without asking if there is a bigger size.

Cindirelly, thank you for your story! I applaude you for telling the truth! Ive received some ugly messages because I told the truth. Glad you are repaired and best wishes for your future. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Amen on the vanity sizing. I remember a size five was an insanely small pair of jeans way back in high school. I know it's going to be a different size pair of jeans for each designer. It pays off to try things on. I see things that look great on the hanger. I try them on and they don't hang correctly on my body.

Hi everyone! I haven't been on here for awhile! I hope everyone finds this website as usfl as I did and still do! its been almost 15 months since my Surgery. My starting weight was 465 lbs and as of this morning I am down to 222lbs exactly that's a 243 weight loss total. I hit a stall for Weeks!! so I started walking more and added more food to my diet (healthy food of course) once I started that the weight started coming off again (PHHHEW) I am 42 lbs away from my original goal weight and let me tell you.. THIS FEELS AMAZING!!!! my life has completely changed for the better.. im more active and im living the life I always wanted for me and my daughter if anyone is deciding to get this surgery I will always tell you GO FOR IT!!! I had fears but the happiness of feeling free and "normal" outweighs that fear I had before deciding to have this surgery. it literally saved my life! good luck to those who are starting their journey and keep it up! I will always say this; This was the best decision I ever made and I do not regret anything!!!!!!

Has anyone had their wls here? My doctor is Edward Lin. No date set yet but getting close

We are quite sexually adventurous. My weight has a degree in psychology and studied abnormal sexualality. We aren't out there and we don't do multiple partners but we'very tried a lot of what she studied. Think of the kamasutra for modern day. I swear that I'm a thesis paper. Anyway fast forward to last night. We are having fun with my weight loss. We set sex goals together which keeps me going and excited about the next goal. It was unexpected but I now wear 32 jeans so we had to come up with a reward. This is our first food reward. Mix PB2 with sugar-free Hershey syrup and apply to your partner. Then lick it off! 52.5 calories, 7.5 carbs, 1.5 fat, 5 protein Of one of the best desserts that you will ever have!
