Thank you! I get why people leave. After a while there’s not much more to say (unless you have a complication) but I stick around to keep myself honest. I update my weight every single time it fluctuates. -

October 2022 surgery support

One month post-op. Saw my surgeon and dietician today. Everything was good and had been able to move on to phase 3, soft foods. Total loss 74lbs since may, 21lbs post-op. I'm very happy but I have recently hit that stall that alot of you talk about. I just keep doing what I know to be right and I know it'll be ok and soon the weight will start coming off again. Overall, the 1st month wasn't too bad. -

First Bowel Movement… dark brown?
Arabesque and one other reacted to catwoman7 for a post in a topic
various colors of poop is not unusual the first month or so after surgery. Fat malabsorption, iron supplements, some residual blood from the surgery - this can all affect it. If you're worried, call your clinic - but I personally wouldn't worry about it too much unless it continues after the first month or so. -

Shirt size

That's awesome! I haven't bought any new clothes yet. Thanks to the oversized clothes trend I've been wearing my men's 2x shirt like a dress lol. I'm sooo excited to hopefully be able to buy from the 'straight size' section in stores! In women's sizes I'm a 1x, which is in most stores but my goal is to be a medium/large. It has to feel amazing to be able to just walk into a store & KNOW everything there is an option -

I was definitely grateful to have the coverage from the body shaper! It could have been so much worse!!! -

I love this! I never thought about it that way, but it's a great motivator! -
1 pointAlways verify with your doc, but I'd imagine during your surgery some blood very likely got into your system and it's got to come out some way. If it persists or you just feel something is off, call your doc and ask.

First Bowel Movement… dark brown?

Poop is brown, why be worried? What exactly are you thinking? Blood? You poop would be BLACK and like tar if you had blood in it. It would be very obvious something is not normal. -
1 pointHow far post-op are you? What restrictions do you still have from your surgeon? I am pretty disciplined about avoiding carbs during my day to day life, but I do make an exception for Thanksgiving. I will have turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie. But instead of creating a heaping plate (and then going back for more), I'll have a plate that looks like it will feed a 4-year old.
