Ok so I'm down 66 lbs. I went to get measured for a new bra really excited. Wrong. My cup size went up 3 cups! The lady said oh that's normal since you had wls it's skin. Didn't expect that. Anyone else have this problem?

I can jog!!!!! I seriously have always hated to work out. I walk/jog 2.5 to 3 miles 6 days a week! I'm amazed

I think my day 3 was the day I seriously doubted my decision but that only lasted a day. I'm 6 months out and extremely happy! Drink drink drink! It gets easier

From my experience.....I can't get my husband off of me. He's like a dog in heat. I swear he follows me humping air. On a side note certain positions are now a little too deep so I avoid that but we've been married 15 yrs I've been waiting for what other couples complain about only having sex like 2X a month. I'm sitting here like what? Try at least 3-4x a week!

Thank you all and yes I've tried making sure I didn't offend her or something is wrong but if it has she won't open up which we've shared everything in the past so I'm just dont know anymore :/

I know prior to surgery I read on here about people saying they lost friends. I was like how sad but I've got great girls we'll be fine. I made it appoint to never bring up weight loss unless asked because I don't want that to be the only thing I'm known for talking about. One of my very very good friends came and spent both nights with me at the hospital so my husband could go home to take care of our kids. We were pretty close. Talking on FB chat nightly for hours going to lunches, concerts, movies, you name it. Well I'm at my 6 mon post op and she's gone and my heart hurts. I've tried talking to her and all she says is "oh just busy with work" I don't see why she would be jealous she's got a few extra lbs but nothing she couldn't fix on her own. Oh well I just decided tonight that I will no longer be the first to strike up a conversation or go out of my way to try to be friends when it's not as important. Maybe she'll come around maybe she won't but I'm really hoping she's the only one I loose.

"Don't mess with what God gave you!" and other crazy comments
abridgie replied to LOSINGLOOSEY's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My response was always "we'll thank you for your opinion, but I'm really excited to have this tool to help me but bless your heart for thinking of me" that tends to shut people down but I do live in the south and anytime u say bless your heart that signals end of discussion -
I'm happy to say I reached my 100lb mark (second mile stone) in 5 months! I'm comfortable wearing shorts around family which i haven't done it years! I've started couch25K as well. I would have never thought I'd be running! My goal is to run in the color me rad 5k next summer. I'm extremely happy with my success and I hope everyone else is enjoying this tool we've been given!

Don't get me wrong I'm excited at the success ive made but my goal is 160 perfectly I would like to see 140 but here lately now that I've gotten off a 100lb I'm starting to worry that I won't see either of those numbers :/ -

So I started having increasing right side pains that would come and go. Didn't really pay much attention to it until getting ready for bed a few nights ago I was struck with such intense pain I was crying like a baby. It went from my right side to my chest to between my shoulder blades. I'm not a fan of my local ER the best one and the one my wls surgeon is at is 25 miles away (30mins if traffic is good) but I was willing to go local. My first thought was "omg ill feel better if I throw up!" We'll that didn't take long for that to happen but since I hadn't eaten in about 2 hrs I just dry heaved (ouch!) as soon as I convenced my husband lets go I'm dying it disappeared! So he then thought I was crazy. Called my doctor in the morning and a few test later my gallbladder is the culprit. Now yes it was an option to remove with wls surgery but my stupid ins wouldn't cover it because there wasn't a problem with it so now I have to have it out their paying. So Monday it is and I'm so ready because these sporadic attacks hurt!

Oh no worries. Things went really well. Pain wasn't too bad compared to sleeve. I always have a bad time waking up and nausea but its day 4 since surgery and just sore so I think I'm on the road to recovery!
