At the very least you may need some IV fluids to help hydrate you. This is not normal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@mrsNilla I could definitely put your goal at 199.9 if you like! I put a pretty high goal no harm in reaching for a goal! There are no penalties for not reaching the goal! My goal is to be out of the 300's but I'm 52 pounds away! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You need to call your surgeon. There could be an obstruction or kink. I had similar issues with nausea and not being able to eat or drink and I was admitted to the hospital while they figured it out. They will most likely tell you to go to ER, so be prepared for that. But you definitely need to call your surgeon ASAP Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have severe sleep apnea. I use bipap settings of 16/22. When you go in for the surgery they put a breathing tube in to assist you in your breathing. When I had my surgery they took the breathing tube out when they finished surgery but put it right back in because I wasn't breathing well on my own. I woke up in recovery with a breathing tube in which was a little scary. I tell you that just to assure you that they won't let anything happen to you because of breathing. They will do what they think is best to make sure you are breathing properly. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I work and take classes at a university and many people either know me or have seen me. I was getting some yogurt because I forgot to eat before class and one of the guys who work in the cafeteria just stared at me and was like "wow wow wow, I'm single!" Haha and when he rang me up he said "I'm going to make this last as long as I can, I'm speechless" and he gave me my bills one at a time all the people who worked in the cafeteria were telling me how fabulous I looked Then I was in the elevator going back up to the classroom and one of the guys who works here ran to the elevator because the doors were still open and he just kinda kept looking at me and he said "are you the same girl that used to work over at the information center?" And I was like yeah and he was like "you've slimmed down, you look great! Doing an amazing job!" He even got out of the elevator even though he was going to a different floor to watch me walk away Hahahaha I've never even met him before This has really been made me feel so good and is such a confidence booster! I haven't had guys flirt with me in a very very long time haha and I'm 29 (30 on Saturday!!) and am very single haha it feels really nice It made my day!

@@SitkaChic74 Thank you!! @@addmay aww I can't wait to read your story! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Okay guys, this is getting awesome. At my highest weight I wore a size 6x t-shirt. I love funny T-shirts and every year when my family and I go to Maine I stock up on funny t-shirts at the little stores in town. This year in August I saw a couple shirts I loved but they didn't come in my size. I decided to get them anyway thinking that I'll be losing weight and maybe I'll fit in them eventually. Since I've been trying to do things I previously couldn't I decided to try one on just to see how close I was. It fit. I mean a bit snug, but it could maybe be passable. I won't wear it out yet until it fits looser but before I would have never been able to get it over my head let alone be able to have it on and sit down without it rolling up The size? 2x!! I wore a 6x and now I almost fit in a 2x!! I did cry this time guys and it felt really good Highest weight 10/30/2015: 540 Surgery weight 5/27/16: 480 Current weight: 352 Also, I'm sooo close to losing 200 pounds in a little over a year!!!
