CONGRATS!!!! Every pound counts!!!!

Soo, I've hit 3 months and 50lbs down. I have PCOS. During the last week, I've been experiencing sore nipples. They are just a little tender now. I've gone to my pcp and she found nothing wrong. I've take a urine and blood preg test in which both come back negative. In the past when I did have my cycles, I never experienced anything like this. Can anyone help me as to what this could possibly be. Some people say I could be preg and it's just too soon to show up.... Idk.... PLEASE HELP!!!! And since my nipples started hurting (no other symptoms) all I've been wanting to eat is Red beans & Rice from Popeyes Chicken. I've not wanted to eat anything else. I tried a McDonalds Fish today and it didn't agree with me...

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!

AWESOME!!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Thank you!!

Keep up the great work everyone!!!!

Hi all!!! I've not been in here in a while. I just wanted to check in. I was sleeved June 21, 2013. My highest weight was 305. I am proud to report 2.5 months later, I am 255, 50lbs down!!!! Yaaaaaay!!!! My biggest issue is getting my bat wings under control.... Bat wings=the fat hanging from the arms... Other than that, I'm AWESOME!!!

OMG Ruthie!!!! That is AWESOME!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

I had the privilege to meet a fellow sleever the other day by the name of Jason. Very sweet guy with ultra sweet parents (mom made my heart melt). Anyway, Jason has been unfortunately experiencing the downside of this surgery, at no fault of his own. He's been in my heart and mind since the day we spoke. I don't know how he is in his alone time, but while talking to him, he never came across as "woe is me" or trying to have a pity party about his situation. We talked and he, despite all he has been through, still had a good spirit about him. I'm posting this to ask as a Special one of a kind FAMILY, we come together and lift Jason, as well as our other "cousins" (you know if you don't know a family member for real, they are just cousin... Lol) that has not had so great experiences with surgery in PRAYER for mental, emotional, and physical healing. Also lets PRAY for those of us that were fortunate enough to experience the awesomeness of the surgery, that we may continue to have positive results. Even if you whisper a quick "Lord Bless 'em"..... Lets keep Jason and our cousins lifted for miraculous and awesome healing!!! Luv you ALL!!!!! ❤

Has anyone had a change in their ph balance since surgery?? Things that used to smell good on me is now not smelling too good....

I've lost 22lbs since my June 21st surgery!!!

Over my larger incision, my skin is itchy, a little red and a little raised and I have a small knot to the right of my far right incision....Anyone else have this??

I was told to go ahead and use the benedryl cream I have for the itching and to get some liquid benedryl to work from the inside incase it's an allergic reaction...... I hope this works..... She said if its not an allergic reaction then it could be yeast.... I pray this benedryl works!!!! GN

Hmm, only 2 fell off and I just removed the other 3 and that'd when I noticed the redness and irritation.... I'm a week and 2days post op....

That's where they pulled your stomach from. I was told that's where we'll have most pain.
