Nancy: your posting have been great. You are 5 months ahead if me, as I am only 3 months out, but the most exciting thing is, your the closest person to me. I live in coopersburg pa. Had my surgery at Lehigh valley, dr peter rovito !!!! We need to chat !!!!!

Ask for a copy of the operation report you can get it from your surgeons office. Takes 2-4 days after surgery. Or make them show it to you at hospital. I would be asking !!!!!

Almost to onderland !!! Keep going

Take your pain Meds as directed. Don't wait for pain to come in. I got a sleep aid from my dr after week 1 cause I had massive gas pain. Get up and move, even if you just walk around the house. Week 1 is the toughest. I am 3 months out and things are great !!! Keep going, you will do great !!

My surgery was in 6/4. My weight then was 245. I am currently 198. Surprises.... 1. Gas pain was worse than incision pain... Hot liquids, gas x and walking helps. 2. Hormones.... They start to go a bit crazy as they release from the fat. Ride it, try to remember why you did this. Trust me, each day is like my life is starting new. I am so happy 3. Burping and farting.... Lol 4. Runny nose 5. You must drink as much Water as possible, sip, sip all day 6. Stalls... You will hit one at about 4 wks. Just stick with the program, it will happen more than once. 7. Take measurements... You will be amazed I love the new me and I am only 3 months out. I have lost 47 lbs, the men are coming out of the wood work, and I truly think this was the best thing I have ever done. It is not easy, use this forum. We are all here for you, good luck !!!

I say we keep making posts until he finally does it !!!!

Start weight 12/6. 258 Pre surgery weight 245 Last week 199 This week. 198 -1 lb this week. Wish it were more, but better than a gain.

Tammy and John you look great !!!

I agree to !!! Come on dl

Your past the hardest past, enjoy the ride, it's gonna be amazing !!!

Baby girl, I have been watching your progress and you are doing great !!! Keep up the good work !!!

Congrats and welcome to onderland

Thanks, I am much more confident now, I was always beautiful in the inside but my body screamed otherwise !!! This truly is a blessing

I am almost 3 months post op (6/4 surgery). I have lost 47 lbs, I am 3-4 sizes down, slimmest I have been in 20 years. Seems so surreal !!! I can dance without losing my breathe and I have so much energy finally that my body can move as fast as my mind... I used to pretend I was just a body experiment gone bad, god has finally begun to hear my prayers and let the world see what a beautiful person I am now !!!

My emotions were a roller coaster in the first two months. It's because all those hormones were stored in your fat and are now being released. Just ride it, I am almost 3 months post op, feel great and energetic and no longer depressed

I think we all think of ourselves as overweight. I am only about 3 months post op, and I am thinner than I have been in 20 years. I actually have some curves and the men are coming out of the wood work , so not used to that. Lol . I am not afraid to take pictures now.

I finally got to onderland . Down 45 lbs since surgery 6/4

Posted these another thread too first 2 now/ last one- 2 1/2 months ago

I am 2 1/2 months post op, and down 46 lbs

Start weight 12/6. 258 Surgery weight 6/4 245 Last week 204 This week 199 I finally hit onderland !!! -5 lbs this week !!!

Panda , I have keeping up with your posts and you are doing great, keep you chin up !!

It happened to me too, then I began to lose again. I think stalls happen through the whole process. I am 2 1/2 months out and lose a steady 2-4 lbs a week then all of a sudden 2 lbs overnight. I eat about 700 calories a day

Today I jumped on the scale and it read 199.8. I almost broke out in tears. I ran to get my phone to take a pic of wonderland and when I came back it read 200.6. How frustrating !!!! I will be there in wonderland soon !!!!!!!
