Almost 1 month outta surgery and I've lost 37 lbs. I've had a couple probs tho. Im so burpy!!! Its ridiculous and quite embarrassing. Also for some reason since surgery I have really bad back spasms. I got back to the surgeon on the 3rd. Anyone else having these problems or have any idea whats going on?

Had surgery on the 6th and Im completely kicking ass. Doing really well. I havent even taken any pain medication today. I am having some trouble getting all my water and protein in though. Im still pretty tired and cant sleep well because of the drain tube but Im doing really good. Im honestly quite shocked. I really thought that I was going to be laid up for weeks. Hope everyone else out there is doing well!!

Had my surgery on the 6th. Today is the 8th and I'm already home. I haven't had any problems yet.....well except for the protein shots they gave me at the hospital made me really nauseous. They were so thick and syrupy and way too sweet. Other than that I've done really well. Im really proud of myself. Go back on Wed to remove the drain tube, which Ive playfully named my grenade and have all my staples taken out as well.

Did my 7 day liquid diet and at 8:30 am I will be heading into surgery. This whole journey so far hasnt been an easy one, not as hard as I imagined tho. Im ready to step into my life. A healthy life, an active life. A life that feels like its my own. While Im as nervous as can be I'm also so excited for whats to come.

I started my liquid diet on Friday. It's Sunday and I've done really well. I was really worried that it would be harder that it has been. My gf has been rather supportive in not bringing in my favorite foods, I've not been too awful hungry tho. I understand that this is in my best interest and I have got to do this. My surgery date is creeping up on me and I'm getting both excited and really nervous. Thursday is my big day, the day that my whole life changes. I almost feel like I'm about to be reborn as a healthier more active person.

I fully know what u mean!! I cant wait til i can wear something sexy and actually feel that way! I have a wonderful gf but she weighs literally 100 lbs. She tells me im beautiful all the time but im so consciouse of the size difference. I wanna be with her and not have that in the back of my mind.

No problem. Soon we will both be on the losers bench!!

I go to walmart and walk by the bra section and see these cute bras for like 8 bucks. 8 bucks for a bra!! The thought to me isnt even fathomable!! No more of these huge expensive ugly bras for me. Cant wait!!

I wanna shop at a normal store and juat buy something straight off the rack and know i can fit in to it. I want to not be drowned in sweat when its hot. I wanna be confident no matter who Im around. I wanna feel like what people actually sees is actually what I feel like. I never felt that what i see in the mirror is actually who i am. Im no super model but im not this either. Im a curvey happy go lucky tattooed rocker chick at heart. I want the way i feel to match the way a look.

Im on 4 different depression/anxiety meds and my dr said that as long as they arent extended release than i should be fine. My surgery is june 6.

Im scheduled june 6 and my stomach is in knots already. Im worried i cant do this. Im really scared. I wish i had someone close to talk to that actually understood. My family and gf are supportive but they havent gone thru this.

Congrats!!

June 6th for me! I cant wait to be a loser!! Lol

Thanks for the welcome. Im 5'7 and 301. Size 24/26. Hopeing for a size 12. That would be amazing. I love reading everyines stories of success. Hoping to be a success story myself soon.

Just founf out today what my surgery date is. Ive follow this forum rather closely but have never introduced myself. My name is Cyndi amd im 30. Im really nervous now that the surgery is really going to happen. It was always "if i have the surgery...." now its "when i have the surgery...." Ive got lots of support tho. But if anyones got any tips to calm my nerves or positive thoughts id really like that.
