Bought a new pair of dress slacks yesterday, down 2 sizes... Wore them today and my husband and are walking down the hall to an appt. When we got alone in a room, he says "Baby, your butt is looking good, I mean really" He's not normally one to throw too many compliments so that made my day!

So I had my surgery 9/7. I lost 20 pre op and 27 so far since surgery. I've been naughty and have eaten things I shouldn't, but I always make sure to chew it up good. I'm going to get back on track hopefully tomorrow. I have been tracking on myfitnesspal. I need to get more Water in, I hear that's the trick to loosing weight faster. I've been walking, but I hope to be going to they soon. Keep keeping on ladies!!

Yes, it's all very normal. And yes, you can live on that little. You're doing great. As time goes by and your stomach starts healing and the swelling goes down, you'll be able to drink more and eat more. Right now you should be on a full liquid diet. Yogurt, Soup, cottage cheese, ricotta etc. At two weeks post op you can try mushy foods and see how that goes. Make sure you are taking your Vitamins and supplements!!!!!

I want to be a skinny bride next fall when I walk down the aisle.
I want to have skinny sex ( all the time)
I want to run a 5k
I want to wear a dress and not get chub rub.
I want to shop like a normal girl and not have to try on everything.
I want to shower with my fiancé.
I want to keep up with my 1 year old.
I want to flash someone.
I want to not worry about how big I look in a booth at a restaurant.
I don't want to be the big girl with the pretty face anymore.

Some people live life wayyyyyyyyy tooooo seriously. You only get one life, some of us now are getting a second chance to live the life that we always wanted, why not throw a little humor in it? I think it's awesome that people are naming thier sleeves. I get mine Friday morning and I'm still trying to come up with a good name, but this sleeve has changed and saved my life already! When I went for my endoscopy they were able to find a polyp that came back as a mass of neuroendocrine cancer! I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. I just wish I could come up with name for my sleeve to thank it.. Whether its a him or her.... I guess you don't really know until post op! Thanks for the giggles this morning! And to all you grumps.... Lighten up!!!!!!!

Just exhale before the initial suction and your good to go. If you're worried about swallowing, I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you spit! I'm only 3 weeks out and as far as that went, It was fine and I just assumed like everyone is saying it added to my Protein for the day! Haha. I love how everyone is so open on here. This is how I am in day to day life, not shy, outspoken, it's nice that people out there are the same!

tekera dont worry you lost a lot of lbs already your body has to adjust. i went to support group last night and the nut said we will lose an average 10lbs a month so you might be at your limit for the month. you loss a lot of lbs so fast so let your body catch up keep doing what you doing it will come off. i was also told it will come off in peaks lose stall drop. dont be so hard on yourself you are doing great
chills i get the normal hunger pains when its time to feed lol

I for some reason enjoy cooking for him even more. It's challenging, but seeing the food and not trying it, or even feeling hungry for it, is so rewarding to me. I usually cook for him every other night, since it's just him and our 1 year old. Lots of leftovers. I've just been doing simple things though, homemade mac n cheese, kielbasa, fajitas, simple is the best way!

I'm from NH!! I was hoping there would be some people from the area on here. Nice to meet you all!

To Msdrea & Tekara - I also like how you put that msdrea - I agree this is harder then I ever expected - my Dr even told me don't make it a habit to always deprive myself of something - eat in small portions & get over the wanting for it & move on back to eating what you know you should... We all here for each other & will all have our ups & downs but be'n determined to come out on top... Best of luck to both of you...

It's crazy to me to hear people talk abut eating all these foods so early out. I'm not here to judge, I mean I'd be lying by saying I haven't been tempted, but you guys, we're all. In the stages where leaks are still possible. By eating things your doctor has not okayed you too, it is extremely dangerous. Not to mention you're probably not losing the weight you could be. I am down 25 pounds since the 7th! 2 weeks!! A total of 45 pounds, I'm not trying to brag or call anyone out, but I'm truth if u follow everything correctly, you'll get better results. Good luck everyone, be safe and hold off on trying things you aren't supposed to be. Focus on your Vitamins, Protein and water!!!

I'm in NH!! Heyyyy!! I had my surgery sept 7th! 2 weeks today. I'm down 25 since surgery and 45 lbs total with my pre op diet. I'm pretty good now, little to very minimal pain, everything went smoothly for me. Best wishes! I just got back from a few days in Jamestown RI for some relaxation! It was beautiful!!

As a former semi-professional beer chugger and amateur homebrewer, the giving up of beer was a chief concern of mine. But, as with everything else, you just have to buck up and do what's right for yourself. I've already given away all my homebrew equipment and made the transition to the (occasional) scotch. But man, I do miss yuengling. Can't get that out here in Cali.

This thread makes me wanna call for a group hug. I have learned to hate Halloween over the years for this very reason.
It's nice to know I'm not alone.
The good news is no one will be asking me to play Santa in December.
