Only advice I can give is take it easy when your on your own and take your pain meds as scheduled. You don't want to wait till the pain starts, you have to keep it under control.

You look really wonderful! Congrats on your success and happiness!!!

So, in order to reward myself for hitting the gym today, I decided to treat myself to a nice lunch of sashimi. Well, I've been to this place before but did not realize it changed to an all you can eat place till I sat down at my table. The waitress looked at me like I was crazy when I just ordered some salmon sashimi. I want to eat everything on the menu!!!!!

I can't wait to see her face when she sees I couldn't eat all 7 pieces! Lol

You look like a different person! Very sexy!

Crystal light or Wylers lemonade give me an upset stomach. I just learned to stay away from the lemonade.

Size12 jeans!!!!

So during my preop phase I was alarmed to find I had shrunk 1 3/4 inches. I'm only 45 but I've had back problems for years. I measured in at 5'2" at a few preop appointments. In my younger years I was 5'3" and 3/4..my fiancé chalked it up to my bad posture but I knew it had a lot to do with my osteoarthritis in my back. But get this...I now measure 5'3"!!! I've had coworkers tell me I walk with much more confidence and "stand taller" now but I thought they were just using a figure of speech. It's true though! I thought this was weird and kind of cool so I just had to share! Another plus is it lowered my BMI!

That's wonderful! Happy for you :-)

Thanks for posting this! :-)

I've been stuck at 168 for weeks! Ughhh!!! Surgery was 4/30 and do far I've last a total of 66 pounds though and I'm feeling great! I've been PMS'ing like a CRAZY WOMAN though, so I hope to be out of this rut by next week :-/

Really good advice. I have had a few glasses of wine since surgery almost 4 months ago and have discovered my new limit is two glasses. I used to be able to drink a lot more than that! I will admit I'm kind of scared to try liquor if any kind.

Yay! :-)

Thanks! I'm hoping this brand doesn't run big but you know what? I don't care! The label says they are a fricken size 12!!!! :-)

You look absolutely stunning! Congrats on all your hard work paying off :-)

MoM doesn't work for me. You could try glycerine suppositories or a fleet enema. Not so pleasant but will usually bring relief fast! If that doesn't help call your personal care physician.

Haha, thanks for the extra effort! Oh my gosh! What an awesome feeling!

I swear they weren't upside down when I bout them!! Lol

Wow, you've worked really hard, congrats! Let me congratulate you in advance on your future weight loss as well...you, lady, are a true inspiration! :-)

Ive been at s stall for a couple of weeks so I don't weigh myself everyday because its depressing but it's always tempting after I poop! LOL!

Glad you're feeling better!
