My dad just came back from Afghanistan so I totally can relate ! Everyone here is so nice ! Welcome to group ! Happy Birthday and your almost there to a new healthier life ? Congrats on both and I wish your husband the best

Congrats to you all it will come VERY FAST !

I had itching as well but it went away like 2 days ago ! Im 1 week post op !

What are some full liquids besides cream of Soups ? Please help ! I am getting in almost 64+ oz of Water a day and I am only 4 whole days post op ! Is this normal ? However, I am down 11 pounds since last Sunday

Woah ! Congrats on your loss so far ! I have lost about 16 pounds already ! I am super excited ! Omg ! I'm so glad to have a surgery buddy !!!

I am a cheerleader so I have a lot of bone mass . I have always worn a 15/16 but when I gained weight I would wear a size 18 but they were kind of big . I'm really solid and have never had a lot of stomach ! Just thighs and booty ! I have big arms but they are the right size since u lift girls for a living .... But honestly. Everyone carries their weight differently. Actually when I did weigh 190, I wore at 13/14 ! So I guess everyone is different !

I took mine off 3 days after surgery (my mom) and it didn't hurt too bad. Now I have steri-strips and clean over them with peroxide ! I refuse to wear anything tight ! Lol I WANT THEM TO BREATHE !

Congrats !

Your welcome !! Thank you for reading !

I had surgery last Thursday . I was in Walmart today walking just fine ! The gas pain is what really hurts the most ! I had virtually no pain from the surgery ! Just the horrid gas ( still have it) ! Congrats ! You soon will be on the losers bench ! You are almost there !!

Did you have surgery on 7.19.12 ? I did lol . I too am having gas pain (crying to breathe sometimes) still. It has gotten a lot better by me taking gasx chewables and walking as much as possible . I get tired easily so long distances are a joke . Took me 1 hour to pick up a few items in Walmart ! I start full liquids tomorrow (im excited) so I went and bought some cream of broccoli and chicken like stuff . I also bought almond milk and yahoo Togo packets (no sugar, 5 calories) ! Welcome to the group ! Everyone here is nice !

Congrats ! In right behind you ! I lost 15 pounds this week ! What the heck ?!??

Me too !!!!! Omg ..

Unmm I arrived there at 8 am. Had surgery at 1:52. I cried the whole waiting time lol I was emotional . Honestly , I had no pain as far as the surgery but the GAS IS HORRIBLE AND I STILL HAVE IT AND IM ALMOST 1 WEEK OUT. It's like gas bubbles in my chest , back , and tummy ! Walk walk walk !!! And bring gasx chewables !

Congrats !!!!!!!!
