"Congrats on the new job, @Dtrain84. What does it entail?" I'll be working as a Deputy Clerk. I will responsible for handling documents and files on criminal cases. I'll be occasionally working in a courtroom setting.

I never thought of my feet as fat but I have shrunk somehow and my old shoes no longer fit and had to go down a half size. Very strange.

Hello, just found out last week. Surgery date is 10/19. I'm super excited

Thanks!!! The 4 ran really big… but I’m still excited!!! I want to keep the size label on them (haha)

Honestly - stay off the scale. The stall will pass, and they typically last 2 to 3 weeks. Mine only just broke, and fixating on the scale just feeds the frustration. What's going on with you is perfectly normal, and won't last. You'll begin losing again as soon as your body has adjusted to it's new radical changes. Leave the scale be, distract yourself, and weigh yourself again in a week's time.

That does sound like early dumping, except the throwing up part. Check with your Doc as it almost seems like a stricture. I couldn't throw up unless something is stuck and even then it's more akin to spitting up. Since we have no pyloric valve our food/drink drops straight to the intestines so after a minute there is nothing in a place where it could through up. This is why I think stricture or similar could be in play. Check your protein drink. Not all are for weight control. Some have copious amounts of sugar. Bang on your surgeon's head until he gets the message you need help. Bring the protein drink and throw up on him you have have to. Don't get discouraged you will get through this. Good luck, Tek

Wow, thanks for the tip. I do take 150mg XL Wellbutrin I have been taking it for 3 years (and before that 10+ years of 300mg XL) with by old stretched out pouch and had no issues. My pouch after revision will be only 1 oz, so I'd better advise my prescribing physician

I had my Interstim (bladder pacemaker) removed yesterday. Most all of my weight was in my belly and breasts, by losing the weight my urgency is manageable. Not to mention the Interstim was becoming painful due to the weight loss when sitting down. I would do the gastric bypass again, no doubt! I should have done it earlier. ☺️

Cute outfits! I’ll play too.
