So question for the women, I had gastric bypass on Aug 22 of this year. I am getting married October 12, 2013. I have lost a total of 76lbs so far but obviously plan on loosing a lot more. My dilemma is, when should I start shopping for a wedding dress? I'm afraid If I start trying them on now, I will loose too much weight to still fit in it. I also don't want to wait too long with not enough time to come in and for alterations. Plus I have have no clue if ill still be considered plus size or not and that plays a big role in the styles of dresses. Help!! :/

Thank you everyone!!!

Oh ok!! Thanks ladies for your help!!

Thank you! I have no idea if that will be enough time. I'm thinking I should wait as long as I can with also allowing enough time for alterations and for the dress to come in. Maybe someone at the dress shop would be able to help me with timelines.

I've had the same problem. Ill be 3 months out at the end of this month. I feel like I'm snapping at my kids and fiancé too much. I hope it passes soon!

I didn't have a pre op diet either. Everything went well

I was wondering the same thing. Chocolate and cheese are my two favorite. I didn't know they made sugar free dove. Def gonna get those!

I had surgery on the 22nd and still have pain as well. It's getting better day by day but still kinda hurts when I get outta bed or try to bend down. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

My surgeon told me from the very beginning that we all "fall off the wagon" once and a while. He says just get back up, and continue to move forward Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Surgery was yesterday. It was scheduled for 11 but didnt end up going back until almost one. Woke up feeling pretty sick to my stomach but they gave me something for it. I've had no gas yet. I'm been extremely tired n barely can keep my eyes open. Hope everyone else that surgery today went well as well. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I was able to start Protein shakes after 3 days of being home. I couldn't wait to have more options. Now I can move to soft foods on Monday so I'm super ready for that. I find myself forcing myself to eat bc I'm just not hungry except in the morning. Oh well! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I had a drain and catheter an drain in the hospital. They took out the catheter the following morning after surgery and took the drain out about an hour before I was discharged from the hospital. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

My fiancée kinda eats what he wants which since I'm only 1 week post op it's hard to watch him eat things that I would love to have. But I chose to have this surgery for myself. He did say he wants to try to eat better bc I'm starting to motivate him by loosing weight everytime I hit the scale. He is 5'7 and 170 so is normal weight. I knew that part was gonna be hard goin into this so I believe it will be just fine good Luck girl! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk
