I have only lost 200 pounds with another 40lbs to go but I am having a panni on Wednesday... Any suggestions on how to get through this with as little drama as possible? They say to wear loose clothing and have lots of protein... How long was your recovery? I cant imagine staying out for 6 weeks I think I will be bored. Yes I say only 200 lbs because I am still over weight and I seem to be stuck. I plan to go back to basics TODAY. Also having an umbilical hernia repair as well... Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks still so far to go but thank you

Thanks

Thanks Jamielogical. Glad you're OK now.

I'm having a hernia repair and a panniculectomy next week. I'm hoping the recovery is not as long as they say. Please tell me how long was your recovery when you had plastics.

Thanks. This is very helpful. Trying to prepare myself for the pain. Thanks again

Finally hit 259 goal 249

The MFP seems a little confusing but going to try to put it to use. I gotta do something to get this 30lbs off

I find myself in the same boat... Feel like I have to fight myself to eat the right things. Im only 21 months out and cant break the 200lb mark. I want to lose 230 pounds. Its me thats holding me back... Hope you were able to get back on track. Good luck to both of us.

I am not sure. I am getting a hernia repair as well I was told 4 to 6 week recovery.

Count me in too please? CW 262 GW 249

261 still the same... Cant get out of the 260's. Hopefully by the end of the month

I chose the sleeve because its less invasive and less complications. I was severely overweight and the RNY was suggested but I didnt feel comfortable with that. So now I sm down 200 pounds but still more to go. This is where the tool is the tool and I gotta make good choices. Also I could still get the RNY if I didnt like these results but so far Im glad I sleeved. Good luck!!!

261 still in the 60's smh

Just came from the PS again and he is ready to remove the skin 7/21 but I think I should wait til after summer. I still have more to lose then I go back for tummy tuck and thigh lift. I need a hernia repair and decided to remove the skin as well. Trying not to chicken out lol. Decisions decisions. Anybody had this? Another 30 lbs to go.

It is a pain near the belly button. The doctor told me what it was. Usually comes from straining. Tell your doctor to check it. Thanks for the well wishes

Yes they say the hernia is very large so I guess I will double check with my primary.

Glad its getting better i am supposed to have a panni on. 7/21 but thinking it may be better to wait until summer is over. I see the pain ypu are in and that will prob ruin my summer fun. Anyway, seems like each day is better for you. Hope you feel better soon.

Looking good. Congrats!

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Its so much easier said than done but because this site gives us a way to vent its much much easier. Thanks for the info... I cant make the childhood issues my adult issues. I ate much better today I think Im getting back to basics. This food addiction is real! But I am an overcomer

I seem to sabotage myself. I eat things I know are not good for me. I really need an intervention... Cant get under 250lbs. Teetering from 260 to 265 I had a few bad days but eating out of boredom. I dont want to go back to 461lbs. I workout almost daily but cant leave the carbs alone. I have to make this tool continue to work for me. Ive seen so many begin to gain but I just cant. I refuse... Anybody else struggling? Bad childhood memories were associated with this weight but I need to stay focused on my future not the past.

Recovery Record checking soon

Thanks ladies.. I will look into this. I know I need help.

265... Celebrating mybirthday is not wirth the gain....
