TiredOfMyself

Darn. You should really try a pair of the VIV Leggings. I own several LLR and at least 10 VIV and the only difference is the waistband. I too was a LLR snob until I had my VSG. Now leggings are the only thing that fits and I like having variety. I get tired of looking at the same thing day in and day out. Yes I could buy 2 new LLR for $50 or I could buy 4 pair of these. I'm ok with wearing a knockoff for a few months while they fit. People aren't going to spend $25 minimum on something they will wear for a few months. I was trying to help those who aren't consultants and need a cheaper option. Good luck on your LLR business.

Does the discount you offer make the LLR pants $11.00? If so I'll definitely purchase several pair from you!

The uncertainty drives me nuts. I wish I knew what I would look like, how much weight I would have lost.

These are my favorite posts. I love seeing how far everyone has come. I'm only 3mos out so no before and afters from me yet.

When you are under they tape the eyes shut. I would guess a reaction to the tape. Have you called the surgeon?

I am awful, I don't eat much during the day and then at night I'm low on calories and have to eat. I need to stop.

I'm struggling. I gained weight and I refused to track my weight again until I lost it. I'm just stuck. Also, the freaking poop issue is killing me. I just want to poop.

That makes me feel like I am doing something right anyway. Thanks for posting that.

Surgery 10/27/16 SW- 278 CW- 228 I am down 49.2 pounds

9 weeks and 1 day out and I am down 49 pounds.

I was able to swallow pills as soon as I left the hospital but had to wait 10 minutes between each pill. I'm now over 2 months out and keep forgetting to finish my meds because I am so busy! Can I just take them normally now or do I still have to wait 10 minutes between each one? I will call and ask but I always forget! Thanks

I am all over the place. I get anywhere from 380 and 1000 a day. I'm trying to eat more, I need to get a schedule together.

I'm in Ohio. I went through Mount Carmel in Columbus.

These feel just like LLR. I have a bunch of LLR and it was killing me to spend that much. I switched to these and now have several friends and family hooked on them. The only difference is these don't have a yoga waistband.

The plus leggings fit from size 14-24, I linked those up above. When you first get them you will think there is no way they will fit because they look tiny. I put them on like pantyhose, bunch them up and slide them up. They also kind of compress the jiggle a little bit. As I lose the weight I am so jiggly, it is kind of uncomfortable. The regular leggings fit from size 0-12 https://www.amazon.com/VIV-Collection-VPLFR-1207-Printed-Leggings/dp/B01N4BVTS9/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1483407381&sr=1-1&nodeID=7141123011&keywords=viv+leggings+for+women&linkCode=ll1&tag=t03be-20&linkId=a6770f9ad8aa1d8c2e7ad09a7ce1c364

My doctor told me I was allowed to have bread when it was homemade. I don't have a single idea how to make homemade bread so I only have bread when my mom makes it for a big family dinner. Maybe once every 6 weeks or so is what I'm thinking. I'm only 2 months out and I have had 2 nibbles of bread one time.

47 pounds down and I can't see a difference either. Blah.

I wear a lot of leggings, tunics and riding boots. They are forgiving with the loose skin I have right now and as I shrink they do too.

Surgery was 10-27-16, I am down 46 pounds. I have noticed that my skin is way loose and jiggly on my back and stomach. I still have 100 pounds to go and am terrified as to what I will look like. Does it eventually tighten back up some? It is almost like I am deflated. I am obviously not a super model but am worried about how I will physically feel. I am wearing a lot of compression clothing to make it not feel so weird. Thanks!

I craved Mexican! I used chicken broth and taco seasoning together with protein powder. It helped a little to wane the cravings.

I didn't even think they compared. With the c-section, you have a beautiful baby to love on and enjoy. With surgery you have nausea, vomiting and a ton of pain with no immediate gratification. Not even in the same ballpark.

This was the choice we made. Why should anyone else feel guilty or alter their life because of a choice we made? It sucks the first time it happens but you get used to it.

I planned my day knowing I would have a dessert. I had 2 bites of a brownie and a peanut butter blossom. I don't feel bad at all. I didn't get fat in a single day and one day a few times a year isn't going to derail me.

When your Mom asks you what food you enjoyed most on Christmas and you tell her you no longer enjoy eating food. It is a chore. [emoji1304]

What are y'all eating? I'm struggling with getting enough food in. I forget to eat which is bad. I only had 438 calories today. My doc says I should be around 1000 calories a day. Thanks
