Tammy you look great! Congrats!

After surgery I felt exhausted for about a week. It gets better. Just follow your doctors orders.

Glad you guys are doing well.

I had some family members that could use my too big clothes. My cousin said it felt like Christmas. I was glad I could help her. When I decided to go through my clothes I was trying on everything and basically everything was too big. I had to go shopping. I didn't buy much because I'm only four months post op, but the clothes I had were so big it didn't look flattering anymore. Luckily I had some clothes in my attic that I haven't worn in years because they were too small.

Do you have a date yet?

I can finally see my neck too. I'm like wow my neck and face looks skinny. Lol.

It's funny I went to Macy's yesterday and I was trying on things and I couldn't find anything to fit. I'm still plus sized but they didn't have anything that I liked in my size. I have went from size 24 to 18. I've never been shopping and everything was too big. Ooh what a feeling. Surgery date April 23, 2012 Pre op wt. 297 Current wt. 235.

Your tolerance for alcohol really changes. I used to dring Tangueray 10. It's a really good gin. Since surgery I haven't had any. I have switched to red wine. I googled red wine and it says that most red wines don't have much sugar in it due to the processing of it. Two glasses is my limit.

I'd say a week to two weeks. Try and drink as much water as you can and walking also helps. Good luck. I think everyone has experienced this.

That's great. Congratulations!

Wow you look awesome.

The first week you need to make sure your getting enough fluids in. Chicken broth and sugar free Popsicles will really help. I didn't start the protein and vitamins until the second week. Also walk much as you can. Even if it's just a little at a time. It will relieve the gas. Laying in bed too long only makes the gas worst. Good luck I will be praying for a speedy recovery.

I had my surgery on April 23,2012. Almost four months post op. I have lost 65 pounds. I would've never been able to do this with out the wls. Starting wt. 297. Current wt. is 232.

Wow you look great.

I love your attitude. You have to love yourself no matter what you look like. I think your going to do great because you have a positive outlook on life. I wish you the best.

Glad your going to the doctors. You'll be fine. You're a strong woman.

That's great. You have a reason to be excited. Congratulations.

You are not alone. We are all in the same boat. You will be fine because now you have all of us to support you. This surgery will change your life. It's not going to be easy but it's one of the greatest tools to weightless. Good luck.

You can have some of mines. Lol.

What part of NJ are you from? I'm in NJ too.
