Ok.. The under armor looks pretty impressive but at 60 bucks each... Ugh!!!

How to compete with what Dave just said... Can't but agree 100 percent. It is life changing and I feel so much better then I have in over 20 years. It's just the tool I needed to feel in control again!!!

congrats girl that is awesome!!

Hugs to you my dear!! I hope whatever is going on is going to get better before the end of 2012!!!

Have you got your date yet? Congrats!!

I never wore a binder after surgery. My husband had hernia surgery and he wore one for 2 days. Call your dr. They should be able to tell you.

good job honey!! What a great milestone!!

Sounds like a great way to get your protein in... I gave up coffee the day of my surgery so

Jeff, Have to agree with Vicki and Don. What point would it serve to say anything to anyone who is negative. It may make you feel good in the short term to tell them what you really think but it wont sway them to your side. Keep the positive flow going and just dont engage in any conversations with them about your surgery. Its such a life changing experience... dont let anyone tell you its not... I know for me it has changed my life.

congrats... 2013 is going to be a great year!!!

Girlie you look so pretty and happy!!!

Well first you cant eat anything in sight. I used to want chocolate before surgery around that time of the month. Doesnt even sound remotely good anymore.

yep I had myself a good old fashioned pity party. Had to pull my girl pantys up and just realize I couldnt live that lifestyle anymore and its not anyone elses fault that I got fat. Look to the future and all the good things that will come your way.

congrats girlie. It is an exciting emotional time. You are going to do great!!!

Jenn The Protein drink in the morning is a great suggestion. I heard on Dr Oz that you need 35 grams of protein in the morning to jump start your metablism. I am like you and cannot eat first thing so I always do my Protein shake in the morning. Then for some reason I never know when Im hungry but do get a stabbing pain when I dont eat. So I pretty much set myself up to eat something every 2-3 hours. baby bel light, string cheese, greek yogurt. It helps me alot!!!

Mary You will be the belle of the ball.. Have a blast!!!

woohoo girl!!! that is so awesome. Tell her to go ahead and by the next size down.. you'll be there before you know it

ok guys you really need to get in a different frame of mind. Its hard, we have all been there. You will gain some weeks. Your body is in its wtf mode. You have shocked the hell out of it and it needs time to adjust. Im 7 months out and I have had so many stalls I cant even count them.. yet still thru it all I have lost 125 lbs. Not too shabby. Look at the bigger picture. IT will come off on fats on time not yours. Hard for most of us after all we have been thru. Good luck and hang in there! Dave- wish I could be like you and stay away from the scales... but it's like a sirens song ... keeps luring me back day after day!!! ha!!

oh honey.... so sorry to hear that . I am hopeful that something will come up that will allow you to have your surgery.

Wow you are doing great!!!

Welcome to the group girlie

we all use this forum for different things. Dont feel bad about posting. We are just glad you are here. Im sorry you are having troubles. It does get better. congrats on the weight loss so far... isnt it amazing??? I love the new tool we have

I originally opted for the sleeve but after discussing with my surgeon and nutritionist decided on rny. Specifically because I am a grazer and didnt want the sleeve to be empty and me be able to graze on whatever I wanted. I needed to be accountable for what I ate and the rny seemed to be the perfect tool for me. The band wasnt even an option for me. The fills seemed like a pain in the butt and quite frankly I hadnt heard very good things about them.

so sorry for the loss of a good friend. I am glad your husband is ok!!

Congrats on gettng a date. It will be here before you know it.
