There's an easy solution to the bra dilemma-don't wear one! My girls have been free since I was in college in the 70's (and yes, I didn't burn one but threw it off a cliff while leading a hike at summer camp-got pix to prove it) and I really should wear one but I can't stand them. I don't remember which movie this came from, but it's a quote I embrace and use often--my girls are like yard dogs-I let them off the leash and they wander all over the place! So free the tatas-you'll save a fortune in bra money and feel so much more comfortable!

I have been rocking the uni-boob since a week out from surgery. I have a drawer full of older bras that I am waiting to get into. Thanks for all the bra info!

💙CONGRATULATIONS💙 Can you share the types of things and how often/long/by whom they were documented ?

Thank you. Came home today. Walked a lot. While I constantly read about this and figured I knew, some parts you still cannot prepare for. I knew I’d be up more (read things about insomnia), but I didn’t know a lot. Everyone’s body is different so you can’t fully prepare. You jest through and, passing gas will be your best friend in the world (something I never thought I would say). Good luck to everyone and let us know how it goes. I’ see plenty of open spots on the losers bench waiting for everyone to come and lose the weight 😃

My lap band was removed in 2009 and I had the occasional "twinge" at the old port site, but not what I'd call outright pain. I attributed it to scar tissue.

@Lbtnew - thank you so so much for your feedback! I can’t wait until the purée stage!! Congratulations on all your success!!!!

I hate water and it is my most difficult challenge, Do not go ape **** crazy measuring oz's Sip it and do what you can I am a big guy and a Nutritionist told me to shoot for 48 - Also remember eat moist foods, easy to swallow and digest and they have water. For example I brine chicken first so it is loaded with water. One thing that saves me is pop sickles - The ones in the plastic tubes off amazon. I make them and flavor them and at electrolytes. I feel for you - Water is a pain in the ass for some people

Congrats! What exciting news!!!

One day til my next appointment and I had a salty breakfast and have drunk 60 oz of water in 5 hours. Of course, I forgot my pills this morning, so no pee pills to help get rid of the water I've just ingested. Grr. Well, whatever the scales say tomorrow morning is what we'll have to go with, regardless of whether it shows all the weight I've dropped. Disappointing. Well, I get out of work early today since I came in at the ungodly hour of 5am so I can take at least one of my pee pills when I get home.
