When Did They Notice?
LiveStrong41 replied to texas-bandette's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You sure can! Keep it up... you're obviously doing great. -
Day four pre op... hungrier today than day 1, 2, and 3, but manageable. I'm trying to up my water intake in the hope it will head off another painful migraine. Still very excited about this Friday!! Life is good!

When Did They Notice?
LiveStrong41 replied to texas-bandette's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It has always been my experience that somewhere between a 15-20% loss (from starting weight) becomes noticeable to others. Personally, for some weird/insecure reason I don't actually like weight loss comments. In my delusional world I guess I like to think no one notices my weight. Except for close family members, who I will insist take notice. Lol -
Rephrase that... "Best of luck to all my fellow bandsters!"

I'm this Friday too! I looked into WLS several years ago, but didn't "make up my mind" until December. Here it is almost one year later... and I am soo ready! Best of luck... to us both. Ha.

Day two pre-op diet: Hunger has been totally manageable, but afternoon headaches seem to linger.

207 Lbs Gone... 10 Lbs To Go
LiveStrong41 replied to FLORIDAYS's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Outstanding!!! You are amazing. What change from weight loss has meant the most to you? And, did you journal throughout the 21 months? Just curious. Again, outstanding job! -
Is there a forum/section on this site for mentor help? Is a mentor someone who has already reached goal?

How Long Does Hair Loss Last!?

I'm also very anxious to hear what others have to say about this. -
Sick Of Protein Shakes!
LiveStrong41 replied to MiriamE's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have yet to try it but I remember my dietician talking about some sort of flavorless protein powder. I have my doubts about being flavorless/tasteless, but it may be worth a try mixing it with your favorite Crystal Light?? -
Frozen meal ideas for family during my post op? I'm looking for family meal ideas. Do you have some suggestions... things you've done or will do? Maybe even a favorite food planning/healthy recipe website. I want food dishes that i can prepare ahead of time and freeze. So all my kids need to do is throw it in the oven, and make a side salad or something. Help!

So, whatcha thinking... next year Batman, Ironman, or He-man?! I say create your own "Brawny Band-man!"

Oh, heaven yes!! I like black and brown just fine, but give me MORE COLOR and LESS UGLY PATTERNS to choose from.

Sleeveless anything!!! I look forward to that clothing victory most of all! I've never stopped wearing shorts but it would be great to wear them and not feel self conscious about the size of my calves. I'm doubtful in my ability to pull off wearing a bikini, but there are plenty of cute one-piece suits that I wouldn't mind rocking. Ha. In fact, ill just be really happy when I can stop worrying and START LIVING again. Woo boo.

In pre surgery limbo state... and feeling completely self absorbed because it's all i think about.
