How is everyone doing? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using the BariatricPal App

I haven't even tried any alcohol yet. I want too but I think if you wanna try it then do it. As long as your past the point of having a leak then it should be okay. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using the BariatricPal App

Idk why it did 2 of them but this has been my 4 months. The 1st one is me now. I'm down 61 pounds from the end of January. I'm 8 pounds away from 200. I think the weight loss is slowing down a bit now but that's okay. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using the BariatricPal App

Bloomer, I saw your pics on fb. I am still so jelly that you got to go. I hope i get to go within the next year. That's great you lost 4 pounds while being gone. I bet it was hot. What all did you ride? What is your favorite? Mine is Tower of terror. Kyboo, and koylo, you guys don't have much longer and hopefully the next month will go by for you. It should with it being summer and 4th of July coming. I would say you guys will have surgery in August sometime. At least it will be kind of at the end of summer so you can keep swimming and enjoy summer. Just think, next summer you will be in a better body for it too.

Hi Koylo. That's great that your getting everything done for surgery. When will you be getting yours done? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320A using the BariatricPal App

Bcostasbiggs, I hope your feeling better. You should definitely talk to Ivan sooner if you arent. Something might be going on. I'm sorry your going through this.

I am starting to lose hair. I am going to have my aunt trim and layer my hair this week sometime. I started taking hair vitamins. I hope it helps. My hair line is getting bigger on top. I really don't want this to happen but I guess it is. Hope everyone else is doing well!

Hi Joan! I did a 9 month supervised visits and it was 11 months by the time I had surgery. It actually goes by pretty quick when you have appointments going on. It does suck to wait but it does give you time to learn everyone's experiences and see what goes on.

I have ibs and it doesn't affect the surgery at all. I had surgery Feb 12th and it actually has helped. I am still sensitive to milk but I've only had like 3 episodes of ibs symptoms. I don't even really take my medicine anymore. It's been nice.

I am so jelly that your going to disney! Omg. Take me with you! That's one of my goals. I've been wanting to go back for the last 10 years. It's the best place on earth besides the ocean. I hope you have a great time! That is great that your clothes are changing and everyone is noticing the change too. Do they all know about your surgery?

Kyboo, not too much longer. It will go by since summer is here pretty much. It always seems like summer goes by the fastest. It will seem like forever though. Bloomer, how are you doing? Tssiemer, how are you doing too? That's good you are better now and it's scary how sick anyone can get from a kidney infection. I'm sorry you went through all of that. It's pretty rough after surgery too. I am 12 pounds away from onederland. This is the lowest I've been in a long time. I'm 212. I was 220 when I got pregnant in 2012. I was 170 10 years ago so that's gonna be my goal weight. Today

Tssiemer, are you feeling better? Bloomer, how are you doing? I believe I'm at a stall

Protein shakes suck. And the artificial sweetners don't help at all either. It's good that your drinking water n milk though at least. Sleeping will make everything better and help your body heal faster too. The hot showers will help you feel better. The next week will be so much better

Tssiemer, how you doing today?

Tssiemer, your gonna be okay! Promise. It's finally your day! We are all here for you Bcostasbiggs, that's great your doing good. I totally understand the whole chew thing. When are you able to chew something?

How is everyone doing?

That's great that you got to sleep in bed. You must not have any pain then? It actually doesn't hurt that much. Just soreness. My csection was worse then the sleeve. But it helps that we have small insicions instead of 1 huge one. That's good that your already losing weight too. Extra fluid sucks in the body.

Bloomer, how are you doing?

Bcostasbiggs, that's good your much better. It will all keep getting better too. Definitely with the weight coming off. Bloomer, that's so scary to think that you have apnea and they had to wake you up different times. But at least you know your in good hands and they took great care of you obviously. I'm just happy your okay and hopefully you will be feeling good too. I had to stay an extra day so don't feel bad. It's better to be in a safe place.

Brittney, it's crazy how fast summer will go but to you, it might feel like forever now. I had to do this for 9 months. 11 months all together. It's a good thing to wait since you can see what everyone goes through and experience. Gather information up too. I'm here if you have any questions or anything. I am 11 weeks out now and it's has its up n downs. It gets better as time goes. Tssiemer, I am so happy your better. I really am! Are you doing the liquid diet we were on for pre op? Or just watching what you eat? Bloomer, good luck with everything and it might be rough the 1st week. Definitely the first couple days, but I promise, it gets better. I am here for you! Bcostasbiggs, how are you doing?

Tssiemer, I am so glad to see your feeling better. I've been wondering about you. Hopefully you don't feel bad anymore. Bloomer, how are you feeling? Is it hitting you yet? Brittney, I promise it won't take forever as it seems. It's almost May. Can't even believe it. Summer is coming and that always goes by fast lol.

I can tell I'm about to start my monthly because I have been eating so much it feels like. I want everything bad. Ugh.....I hate this time of a month.

Tssiemer, that broth sounds so good. It's always best making it ourselves. Hopefully the diet will get easier for you. At least your trying to change now. It's so hard Bloomer, the clears that your doing now is just got surgery. Then after surgery, we start the strained soups and everything else we had while on the pre op. That goes for the 1st month.

Kroger brand broth is definitely gross! I don't really like anyone's broth except from chicken noodle soup so I would just drink that around all of that. I don't like beef or vegetable broth either. Bloomer, the hunger is supposed to better after the 3rd or 4th day. That's why it was so hard for me to keep up on the diet, I was hungry too. I was hungry a couple days after surgery and we aren't even supposed to be. You only have 4 more days of the diet! I'm super excited for you. Bcostasbiggs, I'm sorry you aren't interested in drinking. I barely did in the hospital and the day I got home. Room temp is the best way to go. I promise, it gets better. The 1st week is rough and you might regret this. I did. The head hunger is real too. But I am 10 weeks out, it's better. Once you start losing weight, you will be excited. It's gonna be okay. Bloomer gave you great tips! Definitely try keeping hydrated though. It's hard, but popsicles are the way to go. They will help.
