Hey guys. I had my surgery on April 23 2012. My weight was 405. As of today my weight is 310. Soooo close to the 100 pound mark. Just want to know how everyone else is feeling at this point post op. please let me know. From eating to clothes. Whatever issues u may be having. If our around five months post op I would LOVE to hear from you

I recently bought a pair of jeans and i bought them thinking that there's no way they will fit me yet but I loved them and I knew that I was going to fit in them eventually. LOL so I brought them home and I decided to try them into see how far I had to go. There's is no way to put Ito words how I felt when I put those jeans on and they buttoned and zipped up no problem. I cried lol. Definitely had a moment. I still have a long way to go but I've also come a long way. I buy a lot of second hand stuff right now. By wardrobe before consisted of stretchy pants and every different color t shirt lol. Now I am buying jeans and shirts that make me feel like I'm a girl lmao. I'm so happy and like I said, I still have a long way to go. Thanks for sharing and thanks for listening/reading

Hey, was wondering what everyone else is doing. They say only take small sips of water. Now I'm 3 1/2 months post op. Does anyone still take sips? This far out? Lol

Hey for all you ladies out there, I need some advice. I was told that it's not healthy to get pregnant 18-24 months after surgery for obvious reasons. I was just wondering if anyone had any info on what happens if u do become pregnant a few months after surgery?

I had my surgery April 23rd. I have two boys 3 and 18 months. My fiancé and I have been very careful since my surgery but I an 6 days Kate and an really freaking out. I would live to have another baby. Im just nervous because I was told its best to wait at least 18 months.

Lol no no don't be sorry. Any info anyone can provide is appreciated. Thank u for that.

The first time I went swimming I was about four weeks post op and I was in the pool the whole day lol. Mostly. My incisions were closed and doing great

March 26th 405 Surgery was April 23rd June 15th 338

I was eating mostly "real food" from week three. I could not purée meat lol. I just couldn't eat it. So I just took little bites and chewed till I could chew no more. Lol. I'm now almost 8 weeks out and I eat whatever I want. I've had zero problems. As long as its little bites and chew like crazy

I started my pre op liquid diet of only four shakes a day on march 26. My surgery was April 23. On march 26 I weighed 405. Today, I had appt at the doctors and I was at 340. So 65 pounds in approximately two and a half months

I have been with my boyfriend for just over two years we have a son together and I have a three year old from a previous relationship. My whole life I have been overweight but have always been told "you have such a pretty face". My boyfriend is already a little jealous in a cute way. But as the weight falls off I see he's getting more insecure. I try to explain to him that I love him and want only him. I don't understand why he or any other man thinks their partners/spouses will leave them when they lose their weight. He loved me and wanted to be with me when I looked and felt my worst. There's no way in hell I'm gonna leave him when I look and feel me best. Just wish he knew that.

I had my surgery on a Monday and was out Wednesday. No complications

Hey, was just wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I just started my puréed diet this week which consists of soft poached eggs and puréed meats and veggies. Puréed fruit as well. But I haven't had a bm since I started 4 days ago. Is that normal ?

I was also told to stop drinking 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after. It's strange how we're all told different things to do with every part of this surgery lol. My first two week diet was nothing but hot cereal, strained cream soup and fat free cottage cheese. It's not until my 2-4 week period of a puréed diet that they told me to stop drinking 30 mins before

I had my surgery on April 23 and I only eat the amount the doctors say. Although I have a really hard time eating that much. I know I'm not eating as much as I should or as often as I should but it's do hard when I never feel hungry. I'm definitely drinking as much as I should though. And my protein shakes are no where close to what I'm supposed to be consuming.

I take two centrum 50+ multi vitamins. 600 mg of calcium with 400Iu of vitamin D and 2000 mcg of vitamin B12 a week. I was told not to take kids vitamins as their not as sufficient

I had no problems eating cream of wheat other than its disgusting. Lol. But other than not liking it. I had no physical side effects
