heck yeah my breasts are long now which is hard to buy an accurate size bra and my back/side far is soft which spills over in on the sides of my bra so right now I wear 38 g/DDD but prob could go down to 36DD but not a good looking DD cause the volume is in the bottom part of my breasts and not on the chest of u get my drift lol. I could use a lift and a tuck.

woot woot you are kicking butt and taking names

Great job fellow RN. I'm 9 months out myself am feeling great best decision that I have ever made. Keep up the good work!

Don't give up, you're not alone our minds can be our worst enemy. When did you have surgery and how much have you lost so far? I'm 8 months out I've lost 93# my weight is stuck at 162-164 I'm often at war with my mind. I remind myself that this is not a race, if I get off track I pick myself up and start over. You got this!

omg I'm so sorry for your loss, I am 8 months post OP and haven't had problems with fertility. I have the nuva ring and so far it's worked well. Good luck I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Congratulations on your surgery, if I were you I would take it easy start with walking nothing strenuous, pace yourself and listen to your body. I had surgery at the end of September 2013 I didn't lift weights for 6 weeks and I started doing zumba at the end of my first month. Good luck hopefully this will answer your questions.

you know Baconville I think that has happened to me! My director and I got along with each other well when I was the jolly fat nurse, now that I am slimmer I approached her about some work conditions that I felt were poor and my concerns. Next thing I know I was in a meeting with her boss and hr wth I still the same person, yes I have changed in my appearance so I think that for some that is threatening.

congratulations she is a doll

The 1St and 2ND week after surgery I didn't have regret but more thoughts of what the hell did I just do. With that being said I am 7 months out had surgery in 9/30/13 I am down 90# something that I would have never been able to do in my own. My weight loss doesn't feel super fast but when I look at the numbers I think my God! I don't have any regrets, with that being said not everyday is a good day. Some days I don't feel well, sometimes I get tired and moody. One thing that I can say is if I had to do it over again I would! One of the best things I have ever done!

wow! I'm down 90# my surgery was in September 2013 and never in my life has my back hurt so bad! I complain about it everyday mid back pain I even wear a long girdle which helps me correct my posture.

I was offered RNY with a silastic ring is anyone getting this? Has anyone heard of this? just curious.

has anyone had the silastic ring applied to their pouch? it was offered to me at my preop appointment, I hadn't heard of this before so I wanted to know of anyone else had heard of this.

yes I have the rings haven't had any problems can eat pretty much anything lots of research about the rings the rate of erosion and complication are very low I'm happy with it I'm down 57# in 4 months

yes I have the silastic ring

Wishing you much luck and success Tiny! DON'T worry about the haters! I haven't been on here much either because some of the posts made me so mad I was ready to cuss a few people out!

I know how you feel had surgery in 9/30/13 I know the rational part if me says that I didn't gain weight over night, and old habits die hard. I have been struggling with my weight for years and my me lifestyle is definitely a work in progress. My hubby and kids didn't have Weightloss surgery ago I don't expect them to not eat what they love just because I can't. But it is hard watching eat burgers and links and beer! what I would give to have a beer or glass of wine! sigh we will get through this phase and I keep telling myself nothing tastes as good as thin feels. it doesn't help that I've been in a stall for the last week! Good luck I hope everything works out

I bought some colace because I have been majorly constipated! hopefully it will help because no one should have to give birth out of their stinky hole lol!

I have a terrible taste in my mouth and my hubby says my breath drinks all the time now. I brush and Listerine my mouth several times a day and sick on Altoids but it comes back. What gives?

me too!

yes!

dang,it's pretty bad when is this going to end lol

Good luck wishing lots of success

glad you're feeling better that sounds scary! I'm always worried about blockages.

you know believe it or not I've been enjoying my pureed canned chicken and tuna I pureed it with 2Tbsp of low fat mayo and added some pepper not to bad I also are some unsweetened applesauce not to bad. I'm glad to not have to eat broth any more yes!

good job! congratulations!
