I think its totally normal! You could be scared, nervous, unsure etc.. I put on a little during the process waiting to have surgery, I think for me it was the nerves and the unknown, my surgeon made me lose 20 pounds pre-op though to make sure I was serious about this. Do you think you could call him and ask what type of pre-op diet he would reccomend? I did a low carb diet to lose the weight. Wishing you the best of luck!

Welcome to the board Hope you wont have to wait long to get approved!

I didn't read this whole thread, but I will say I lost a lot of my boobs and my butt even though I never really had one lol hopefully once I get closer to goal my body will even out, but I think I'm cursed with a white girls booty Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of any consignment or colthing resale stores in the Metro Detroit area, I have found some on google but some are a little far so I was wondering if anyone might be able to reccomend any?

That is a good thing to mention. That has been one of the things I have been having the hardest time with is staying positive. I think for a lot of us we have had negative thoughts about ourselves pre-op that its kind of hard to break post-op. I would also like to add DONT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS! If you do you will drive yourself crazy lol. I would always compare myself to others who started at my weight, or others who had surgery the same day as me and worry myself because maybe they lost faster then me, everyone is different and everyones journey will be different.

Lmao, I watched that one today! Of course when she was doing that her husband walked in from work.

Wishing you the best of luck and a speedy recovery

I took some a few months before surgery but ended up losing the paper! uGH

Thats great you dropped another pant size! I finally broke my stall and am down 2 pounds, havent dropped a pant size in awhile though! I wasnt being as good with my eating as I should be, I was having white bread here and there, I cut it out completely, I've just been sticking to the low carb wraps, and wasa crackers if Im craving bread or crackers, Ive also cut back on my splenda use.

Thank God you were at home and not out in public!

I didnt, some do, some dont.

I agree with Sramos, what is done is done and all you can do is live and learn from your mistakes. No one will be perfect on this journey, I know I havent! Wishing you the best of luck

My surgeon always says at his seminars that after surgery you will become a "cheap date" because for most alcohol hits you quicker and it dont take much to catch a buzz lol

Before surgery I would have one, then go months and months without a period, since surgery I have been having mine regular now, it might be a day or two off from the previous month, but it's always the last week of the month. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Lol I know.. I always said Im not that bad for a fat chick... UGH

Im the same way, I dont always see it when I look in the mirror, I can usually only see a difference when I put a before and current one side by side. Its funny though at my heaviest I knew I was big, but didnt realize until I saw a picture or lost weight how big I really was, weird how things are.

You look great! Keep up the good job

I'll have to try some of them, I think I've just had the chicken ones
