You'll be fine it probably won't be as bad as you think. I was pleasantly surprised during the healing process. I was even back at work(im a hairstyliest) in 7 days after sugery!! I'm 9 months now and hardly remember even having it done. Best thing I have ever done for my self!!

I've lost 125 pounds and I feel great inside and out but even at my heaviest I didn't feel ugly. I'm a hairdresser so I see people all day long and I'm getting tired of hearing how pretty and cute I am now. Was I not pretty and cute when I was fat! it's just starting to offend me, maybe I'm just emotional this week or something. Anybody else feel this way too?

I don't mind the compliments. Im getting tired of the statements that are offensive there getting annoying. Even though I know there coming from a nice place.

I probably wouldn't care as much if I saw the same people everyday but everyday it's different people with the same comments over and over. I know at the beginning of my journey this wouldn't even seem like an issue to be having but its been bothering me for a while and I still have 20 more pounds before goal so it's not going to stop anytime soon. I'm actually starting to get a little snappy back at my clients when they say offensive things. I know they are coming from a good place but sometimes they don't think before speak.

The people that say you look great and move on to a different topic don't offend me it's the ones that go on and on about it and say stuff like I bet your husbands happy huh and wow you must feel so much better and won't shut up about it. I'm pretty good at changing the subject though. I know I'm super emotional this week and I'll get over it. So I know I'm just ranting but it feels good to know I'm not the only one.

We share sugery dates. Mine was last year but same day!! Best thing I have ever done I'm 9 months and already lost 125 pounds i have 15 more before I'm at goal!

9months post op. I didn't watch what I ate or drank on our trip I didn't feel like I did to bad but defently not good but who cares I was on vacation right?! When I got home I weighed myself and I LOST 4 pounds. Crazy right! how does that happen I'm so thankful for this sugery!!! That is all!!! :)

Yes it was 7 days! My tolerance is pretty low I havnt had an alcoholic drink since sugery so I was careful I did drink way to much champaign one night it snuck up on me real quick! 4 pounds a week is a lot that's why I was do surprised I normally lose about 2 a week.

I don't think I really ate more then normal but defently drank a lot of sugary piña colada and margaritas and whatever else. So I was not expecting to lose anything at all but I was losing really slow before I left so maybe I just jump started a stall or something.

I felt fine the first day I was all juiced up on pain meds. My husband says I was walking around saying this is so easy I don't know what the big deal is! Lol thinking I was all hot ****! Then the pain meds wore off and I was not walking around thinking I was hot **** anymore that's for sure. We still laugh about it to this day

So why is it that somedays I just can't get full and can eat so much more then normal. This does normally happen close to that time of month but still doesn't explain why I can eat more. Its so strange to me.

I know it's just the strangest thing that our periods can effect us like that!

My new tummy loves this white chicken chili and it's so yummy. I buy one of those McCormick chicken chili packets and use one can of white kidney beans, one can of white corn, chicken, chopped onion. It's so easy and goes down with no problem for me. My husband loves it too!

Well there's actually two I'm now overweight not obese acording to the bmi calculator and I weigh a pound less then my husband! Woo hoo! I'm seven months post op and just started working out so hopefully my weight will start dropping a little faster and I'll weigh a lot less then my husband for our beach trip at the end of September.

Of coarse for the last two weeks I've been stalled at 200 pounds! Today the scale said 199 yay!!! This week is my 7 month sugervisary and I'm down 105 pounds. Doing my happy dance!!!

So my title is supposed to say Onderland damn auto correct

Yeah I move my scale around the floor until I get a number I'm happy with too I prob look like a crazy person to my husband. Lol

I hate my scale I hopped on and it said 203. I thought that can't be right I would of gained a pound so I stepped on again and said 200 I was like ok thats better I decided to go one more time to see what it said, this time it said 201!!! Really which one is it!! It is a cheaper digital scale does anybody have a recommendation for a good scale that is always accurate.

Height has a lot to do with it if your 6'0 tall and weigh 200 pounds with a size 10 you look pretty small but if your 5'2 200 pounds wearing size 10 you look a lot bigger.

Watermelon!!! I eat it like everyday. I'm gonna be so screwed when it's winter

Paula dean has dropped a lot of weight too. And with all that delicious cooking she does. I think she had sugery.

Monday is my 6 month and as of today I've lost 100 pounds. I started at 305 and today im 205!! I'm so happy I did this for my self. I don't feel like it has effected my life negatively in anyway( except when I want to eat more of something yummy and can't). I love feeling like myself and beautiful again that's the best feeling ever! I would do this again in a heart beat. I'm 26 and married and excited to start a family with in the next few years and not have to worry if my weight is gonna prevent us from getting pregnant. This has been the best thing I have done for myself!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I just remember first looking into this sugery and how much these positive post op posts helped me with my decision. So maybe someone will read mine and not be so scared. As for pics I've never figured out how to post any I just use my I phone.

If I don't drink enough water before bed I wake up feeling Naesous and dry heave. Try keeping water by your bed and take some drinks if you get up in the middle of the night.
