Since the new update, I've lost all previous post. How are you guys? Ok I will start! Sleeved Sept 25, almost 2 months out. I started at 373 pre-op, 363 day of surgery, 327 as of today for a total loss of 46lbs. 36 not counting pre-op. I can move better and breathe better! I had a stall, but upped my calories for two days and it helped get through the stall.

I thank God because without him, I couldn't have made it this far. [ATTACH]42168[/ATTACH]

HW 394 SW 373 CW 283 so really 111lbs but I counted from pre-op in which I was 383 sleeved 9/25/13 I'm 5'7

I have been slacking the past 2weeks, but I workout at home. I do the walking dvd, 3miles 3x a week( leslie sansom) , and after the dvd I do 20mins of 5lb weights, squats and leg lifts. If I'm up to it that evening I would run on my treadmill for about 15mins. But that's maybe twice a week. Oh and I also do waist training using the vest, but I haven't for the past month because the vest is loose and I haven't ordered a smaller size yet.

I have heard stories of hair loss, but I never thought I would start to lose mine. Im 4 months out, and just started losing my hair! I mean by the handfuls! My hair has always been long and thick, but not anymore...

Amazing

Thanks ladies!

I'm wondering how's aunt flo visiting everyone after surgery. I'm 4mths out and she's came twice in one month twice! Is it normal? Before surgery I was pretty regular..

Yes I first noticed when I sat in the tub. Its because we dont have the extra padding there. If I could only tell my body where I want the weight to come off, I would take this stomach of mine and place it on my backside!

This is the link http://instagram.com/yourcloset1 you can go visit and look at some of the pictures to get a idea of how it works. And thats a picture of mines. Its a side pic, so you really can't see the front but its similar to bra hooks. It helped my stomach a lot. Im going to attach a before picture so you can see the difference.

Are you familiar with instagram? Thats where I ordered mine. Search yourcloset1 I think she also have a website not sure. She emails you the invoice and you pay through paypal. Shipping is 3 days I think. Its better to have while you are losing the weight. I find it very good when excercising. Keeps everything in place.

Im familiar with the corset. I brought one that fits like a vest, and its actually also made to workout in. It works great, I wear it about 12 hrs out the day and it also trains your waistline. I have to order a smaller size because its not tight as it was because of the weight loss.

I dont know if anyone else is with me, my butt hurts like heck sitting in the tub. I can't go a single minute without turning sideways to relieve the pain.

Im having the toughest time losing my stomach! Hw:390 Sw:373 Cw:306 surgery 9/25 [ATTACH]39256[/ATTACH]

Sw: 373 Cw: 306 loss of 67lbs Hw:390..surgery date: 9/25

Way to go! Thats awesome!

Good job

That's really sad! Pitiful I tell you. The airline flew him in, they should make arrangements to fly him out. I could understand if it was their decision beforehand, but not after.

I've been trying to post since yesterday. Ok I had to download this new bariatric app. I found out yesterday at my 6 week check up that I have titanium staples in my stomach. I was asking about leaks and how long until the threat is gone, and all I heard was permanent staples! My jaw hit the floor....I dont know how to feel about the new information I received. With all the questions I ask, how could I have not asked that! I was under the impression that dissolvable stitches would be used. He said mri and airport security won't be a problem. Im thinking about all the what if's. What if one comes loose and puncture a hole in my kidneys or tear my intestines? :/

Pre-op: 373 Surgery: 363 9/25 Cw: 335

Way to go!

I dont know if this helps, but I had my cycle a week before surgery. I thought that was great so while I'm healing, I wouldn't have to bother with it......them bam!! Second day post-op it came again, for 7 days strong, then 3 1/2 weeks later here we go again. Im 5 weeks out....I've read that its hormones getting back in order. Im 31, married and no kids and before surgery I had my period every 45 days or so and now I think its getting regular again. I had regular periods up until I gained alot of weight in my early 20's and that weight and irregular periods caused fertility issues. My doc couldn't find any underlying cause to my fertility issues besides my weight and absence of period and believe you me, I took just about every test out there! So now with the weight loss and being regular my chances increase.
