Stay away from bread - especially that short time out. That’s way too much of a slippery slope -
Congrats on the amazing work !

In what way have you changed?
BostonWLKC replied to TakingABreak's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Definitely more I third of and confident. I was pretty assertive and confident before but now I feel like others also respond more. Not sure if that makes anything. Just more self assured and not consumed with where I’m sitting, how I am sitting, whether or not people can see how heavy I really am…That is all gone. Like a weight lifted emotionally. -
Hit 80 lbs down !! I feel amazing and it is surreal to try on any clothes I want to!! Super happy and healthy. So very grateful! Thank you to you all for being with me on this journey so far! You’re all an inspiration!

Hi I am glad I did laparoscopic. There are five 1/4 inch incisions in a circle (prob smaller and one is 1/4 in). Recovery was easier and near no pain (just uncomfortable). The open bypass my friend had was SO much more invasive and painful. She has an enormous scar laterally down her stomach. Almost 6 months out and there are only two of mine that are still visually healing (1/4 inch each on each side of belly button) A lot of Doctors tend to not have great bedside manners lol. Doesn’t mean they aren’t great surgeons. Don’t let that decide your recovery.

Belly Binder...needed or naw
BostonWLKC replied to FabulousFun87's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it depends on the person and amount of weight pulling on the incision sites. -

When did you start losing weight after your gastric bypass surgery??? No weight loss yet and nervous 😟
BostonWLKC replied to Pink nova's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Probably anytime now you’ll see it. Be sure you’re up and walking a lot to get stuff moving. Mine took a few days too! -
12 days post-op. Depressed and struggling
BostonWLKC replied to StrawberryLaray's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It does get better!! Once you move to more foods you will feel a bit better Sugar free popsicles are my saving grace! Try joining you local walking club or ty to meet some people. Hopefully that helps the loneliness . Get outside- the sun does wonders too Come here often and chat to folks- that helps!! Hang in there -

BostonWLKC replied to Brassapple's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
