I bought stretchy yoga type pants & I went to resale stores. As I bought different clothes I would either donate or give my old things to my daughter that is losing weight too... then she is going to donate as she loses weight. She didn't have surgery. I just parted with my 3 favorite tops...they were way to big! Not sad at all...as I can wear a large instead of 2 or 3 X. Good luck.

I am 5'3" & was 250 lbs. Everyone does lose at different rates. By the time I was 3 months out I had lost 56 lbs. I'm 6 months out as of tomorrow & now I've lost a total of 78lbs. I'm happy with my results & I know it would be more is I did more exercise! I am 52 years old... I don't travel, but I do eat out at restaurants. chose wisely when ordering. I order GRILLED everything! No rice or pasta. Keep protein bars with you for either meal replacement or a snack. Atkins Bars are real good & I always get the ones higher in protein. Good luck...

Thank you everyone...

Went to the store today & bought a pair of size 14 jeans & 3 size large tops. I haven't been in a Large or a 14 in over 25 years!!!

I have been married almost 32 years & yes they can be jerks at times... But in all fairness to my husband, I have my moments too! (But he usually causes me to have those moments)!!! LOL!!! He has been very supportive of my decision to have the sleeve done, as he wants to keep me around for many more years to come & I have been through all of his heart & stomach issues & I make him eat a better diet! Men will be men... And I still love him for the person he is. I used to do the lawn work, but I stopped & now we have our able body adult sons do it! Good luck!

I take 2 Centrum Silver Chewable Multi-vitamins (as I'm over 50) Citrus Berry flavor. I also use B-12 sublingual(liquid) 2 times a week. And 2 Calcium Citrates per day. And one Iron chewy bite(Chocolate raspberry flavor Tastes like a tootsie roll) from Bariatric Advantage each day. And I started taking Biotin 2 times a day(just in case of hair loss). I'm not taking a chance with that one! Good Luck

Powder protein to me is gritty. I use a lot of liquid protein. You can get it at Walmart. It can get expensive, but sometimes it's so worth it to get a break...

I don't see a problem with that. We got married in the courthouse & we had a house built around the same time. So we had an open house/house warming. 32 years ago...

To change the flavor of your soup broth, try adding a little garlic powder or Mrs. Dash seasoning. I did that with mine & it was soooo good!

Every day DOES get better! I'm 52 & so happy I did this when I did. I have so much more energy & I can keep up with my Granddaughter now!

Walk around, that always helps me... Also Gas-X helps too.

I had always despised SF anything! Now all I drink is Ocean Spray SF Cran- Pomegranate, Cran- Peach & Cran- Lemonade. Just pour the powder in a bottle of water several times a day. I think it has better flavor than Crystal Light. Easier way to get my fluid intake!

My gas took a day or two to start coming out. I was in the bathroom & had a private room. When it started, I didn't think it was going to stop. I laughed so hard & it just kept coming out. But boy did I feel better when I was done. Let it out when it needs too! Walking does help....

My Dr. says no sugar, pasta, rice or white bread or white flour products...turns to a gooey ball & can cause blockages...

Not everyone throws up...I have come close to throwing up, from laying down too soon after eating cheese & multi-grain crackers. Everyone is different.
