Hey all. Havent been here in forever. But I've gotten some emails about other updates and figured I'd swing by. I had my surgery 10/2/12. My starting weight was 322lbs, size 24 and 4x shirts. Bra size was 48F. As of this morning I'm at 178 lbs, size 8/10 pants, shirts L-XL and thats due to chest which is 32E they didnt go very far. My goal weight is 175, I'm 5'9". Im almost there. I've read and saw everyone seems to be doing great. Keep up the great work

My husband took the scale. Lol. I'm gonna do once a week. I don't want to be obsessed with weighing all the time I know I'll go crazy. Thanks

So frustrated. I'm down 30 lbs since surgery. A lot of weight in 11 days but I've lost nothing in 2 days. I'm now on pureed so maybe my body needs to adjust but I was hoping I'd be one of the lucky ones who lost a mass amount the first couple months. I hope I don't stall for a long time.

I brought a word search book, brush and tooth brush/ tooth paste, deodorant. Oh and phone charger. I also took a pair of yoga pants to wear under my gown. Extra underwear. I wore the same clothes home as I did going in

Also a 10/2. I feel great also. Haven't had any pain or gas. Well slight stinging around the incisions, but nothing some air and a few days won't fix. Started puree yesterday but haven't eaten much more than tuna at this point. I'm 24 pounds down from day of release. Didn't weigh day off but on Thursday before I left they did. I'm realistic and aware it won't continue like that. Although I wish it would lol. Can't wait to see how we all progress

I'm 9 days out and 24 lbs as of today

Oh no. Feel better. I'm feeling sorta bed today and hoping it's not dehydration

I was told watermelon is ok as long as I can tolerate it and because it has so much water in it, it can help with keeping hydrated. And fruit that comes in those little dishes (water or sugar free)

None stop. I'm hydrated and now eating more so isn't from hunger. I'm thinking it's sort of from sugar withdrawal. Or who knows. But that is my only pain

C-section was worse. This was a breeze. I never had pain or gas. Plus no newborn to take care of after.

I was in shock. I am curious if it will keep up with pureed food in the mix now. I've been on just fluids and talking all the time. First time in 5 years I'm below 300 lbs

I had depression the first few days. I was tired and wanted to eat. But I'm feeling better now and realizing it's all for a better cause
