SO, My skin is starting to remind me of my first initial break outs when I was 11 or 12. OMG, my face looks awful! I'm going to see a dermatologist next Wednesday and I know it's because of all the crazy hormones that this is happening I'm just hoping that he can help me out cause I feel weird with all this roughness going on lol. Anyone in the same boat???

That's amazing! Congrats!!!

I've always had acne even before surgery but the older I get the less pimples I have, but since surgery- it's like pretty bad. I drink about 70oz of water a day and as far as my diet, I still kinda stick with the soft solids even though I'm at 6wks post op and I now can add more but Idk, it's strange. I hope that I can finally get it under control, well back under control lol. Thanks for posting!

CONGRATS!!! You look great!

I went back after about 10 days or so and it was horrible, I had to get up and walk to keep my stomach from hurting(that was on a thursday) and so I waited til Monday to go back again for the second time and I had no problems.

Welcome!!! Looking forward to your update.

I've taken both miralax and milk of magnesia- and mlk of magnesia works extremely fast- I would say I had a BM within an hr and a half of taking it and it does the job very well. My mom is a nurse and so when I was taking the miralax and it wasn't working and i was feeling horrible, she made me go to the store and get the milk of magnesia- it was the best advice she gave me. I don't have that problem usually anymore but I know that when it comes back, I'm sticking with the milk of magnesia.

Good Luck ladies!!!! I hope that you guys have continued success in your weight loss journey! Keep being each others cheerleaders lol!!! It's good that you are doing good now.

Hey I'm Candace I'm 23, I was sleeved on April 4th 2011, and so far I have lost 48lbs. I'm hoping to loose more, since I've started solid food my weight loss has slowed down alot but as long as I stay in the gym and keep my protein and water intake high, the pounds are still rolling off, this last week I managed to get 4lbs off, so all in all I'm very happy with my decision to have the surgery!

I actually took the gas-x ultra strength gel tablets- that worked, and oddly enough the pain medicine that I was prescribed helped. Those were the only two things that helped me sleep through the night cause the gas pain was horrible! My gas pains lasted for 2 weeks and gas x and whatever that pain medicine is called were my bestfriends!

Hey guys!!! Yesterday I went to Lane Bryant with my bestfriend and we decided to go get fitted for bras. I was very scared because the last time I went to Lane Bryant they told me they didn't even have a bra my size which at the time was a 48I- yes an "I". So I go to get measured after my friend and she tells me that I am now a 42DD! OMG, I never thought I'd see the day! I never even wore a DD before! I ultimately would love a big B or a small C but I was so excited about the change that I'm looking forward to the next few months more than anything! I will be 6 weeks post op tomorrow and I have the biggest grin on my face . Take care!!! P.S. I'm still going to hold off on that shopping spree until June lol.

I started back taking my birth control pills at 2 weeks post op because me and my bf are very..... spontaneous so I didn't want to have any accidents. I'm on Loestrin24Fe and I haven't had any issues with it.

lol that's a good question!

You will lose some up top! It seems like they don't want to shrink with the rest of you but they eventually do lol.

Here's my update : it's a pic, hopefully it posts lol sw....312.....cw.....264.......gw.....250.....lbs to goal.......14

Thank you guys! Yes, I didn't know that size existed until I was fitted last year lol.

You look great!!! Congrats!!! You are almost there!

I feel your pain lol- literally. I didn't have much cushion to begin with (just really big hips) and now there's even less cushion than before and I can't sit on the bikes at the gym for more than a minute because my a** is non existent. But congrats on your weight loss!!! YAY!!!! lol
