I've been too fat for jeans for many years. All my coworkers loved jeans days, I hated them. Well now I can wear jeans! I was in a very uncomfortable 32 pants size, now it's not just jeans that I can wear but I have to get Super Skinny jeans in a loose size 20! Bring on those jean days!!

Ugh, I wish Facebook didn't know I've lost weight, need new clothes, and love that I can wear all these cute styles now. Everytime I look at Facebook there's all these click her now to buy this cute dress, adorable top, hot swimsuit. The prices are more affordable than what I used to have to pay and fitting into these smaller sizes is enticing as well, but I'm holding out as I know it won't be long before they're too big too. Lord give me the strength to not click here! [emoji120] Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

Let's talk about body dysmorphia
Colchabay replied to Lochnessamber's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm very similar to you as well, heaviest weight 362, 5'10". I knew I was big but after seeing myself in my daughter's wedding photos, I was like Whoa, I didn't realize I looked like that! I'm down 66lbs since February and very pleased so far. Congrats on being so close to 100#. When was your surgery and did you get the sleeve? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -
GALS who started their journey over 300 lb+<br /> +
Colchabay replied to Frustr8's topic in The Gals' Room
Happy to report I broke out of the 300's today. Down 66 lbs, sleeved 2/28. You know you just can't go around telling anyone that without judgement or uncomfortable looks. I'm so happy just had to share! Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -

Taking advantage of the first year
Colchabay replied to VeeAurora's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
To me it means take advantage of no food cravings and not being hungry. Don't "try" things that are not good for you. Take this time to change your relationship with food. Learn about logging food, weighing and measuring. Find healthy snacks that you like. But I'm only 8 weeks out. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -

Had mine outpatient. I was released within 3 hours of surgery. I was perfectly fine and happy to be home sleeping in my own bed the rest of the day, minus the hourly walks I got up for. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

What, you had NO surgery complications?
Colchabay replied to Healthy_life2's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
No complications here either. Sleeved February 28, 2019. I had day surgery was released within 2 hours of surgery, walked a lot right after. Had no nausea, took minimum pain meds for a few days. I've had no stalls yet. Lost 11 lbs first week and 2 to 5 lbs every week since. Down 63 lbs since the two week pre-op diet. I follow my plan, log my food, take my Vitamins, weigh and measure my food, weigh myself only once a week, drink Water only, get my Protein in most days. One thing I don't do on plan is hit my calorie goal of 600-800 calories, I find that difficult at this point as I can't eat much and don't snack because I'm never hungry. I think I had a great surgeon and support staff. I couldn't be happier with my results. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -

Vision adjustment after weight loss goal
Colchabay replied to dsapeg69's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Yes, I used to always stretch out my tops in the tummy and arm area before putting them on. Sometimes I still catch myself doing it even though my shirts are all plenty roomy now. I bought a size smaller t-shirt the other day and really strechef it out because I was afraid it was going to be too tight, it didn't need stretched at all, I could've even went down 2 sizes.

Teriffying experience blockage of food

Not according to my surgeons plan, I was on soft protiens including fish on week 3. No puree stage ever. No problems. Every Dr is different Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app -
Had our monthly meeting today and I fit in the student desk with room to spare!! I hated those meetings because the only seats are student desks and I would have to squeeze myself into them and sit uncomfortably through the meeting! Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using BariatricPal mobile app
