Congrats to u all can i ask a question though is the clothes thing since surgery or since you started the process...like ate they clothes that were too tight 6 mo ago or clothes that were too tight right before surgery. And whats the weight loss Im sorry for all the questions just im so confused ive lost 22lbs and my clothes are almost tighter

I drink 3 protein shakes a day usually an EAS ADVANTEDGE choc fudge for breakfast ....fir lunch and dinner i usually have an unjury chicken soup and my water and vitamins and oh yeah 1 oz unsweetened applesauce with my omeprozol mixed in lol EXCITING!!! Im 3 weeks today

Ive lost 22lbs so far and their is ni difference my clothes are just as tight as they were before surgery and the weird thing is my bras don't fit they are all way too tight im i losing it all in my big toe???

I see a difference congrats!

My Dr is so strict compared to you guys have...i its 3 weeks tomorrow still on liquids....im not allowed any milk at all not even soy/almond so i have to mix protein powders with Water.... No jello no soups nothing i feel so deprived lol

Im afraid when i start eating food i'm gonna gain weight too..my surgery was 4/16 and im still on liquids only

That's me im.hot at night but them freeze all day lol im hoping it will help in the summer so in not always sweating lol

Thank you

Felt so much better today i stayed home with my daughter for the first time all day by myself and did great i even reorganized my spice cabinet and my pantry lol....like night and day compared to 2 days ago

I think most if us do that at some point during the process ....i watched youtube any chance i got and read every website lol

Maybe do the research together and also let her read some of the stories on here with you

I agree research reasearch research! I had the band in 06 and lost 120lbs in about a yr and a half which was wonderful i recovered very quickly then in 09 started gaining weight after my dad passed away then in 2010 i got pregnant and took all the fluid out and gained ALL my weight back i was throwing up constantly from morning sickness and after i gave birth it didnt stop food got "stuck " all the time i could eat chips crackers cookies ice cream no problem but salad chicken real food got stuck i ended up going to drs after being scared to face him after gaining it all back and found out i actually had a problem with my band so in april 2012 had it removed and a new band put in because i was too scared to do the bypass immediately after my new band i was constantly sick again always sick everything good got stuck ate junk food all the time because it never bothered me and i gained another almost 30lbs so on april 16th 2013 i had the bypass after TONS of research ....my reasons for chosing it were many but my maim reasons were the weight loss is greater than the sleeve or band ....the rny is considered the gold standard in WLS ......the risks are about the same for the 3 . ....The dumping will help keep me on track....they do not insert any foreign objects like the band or remove any parts like the sleeve....the recovery and pain have been worse then the band but i still am happy i did it its been less than 3 weeks and im not hungry at all ive lost 21lbs so far

What happens when u try and drink a protein shake? Have you tried diff varieties? Have u tried the unjury chicken soup flavor

Im scared to see what that feels like after all the problems eating with the band ive heard so many people say food sits like a brick

Thanks everyone it def did feel good and so far so good this morning i wish i.could start wearing reg clothes ive been wearing loose pj pants and stuff that is soft and goes over all my incisions because my open incision is right where my pant waste would go ;(

I love tattoos i have 4...2 were before my lapband ny zodiac sign on my ankle and a flower with ladybug on my chest both looked the same after losing about 120lbs ...then when i got down to where i was comfortable with my weight i got a beautiful flower on my foot to me showing how i finally felt beautiful ....then a yr after my dad passed away in 2010 i got footprints on my shoulder that says "It was then that i carried you RIP " my favorite saying in the bible and my dad had bought me a necklace that had footprints on the front and the saying on the back the year before he passed away.....now i want my daughters name on my wrist the reason i took control of my weight and my health

Today turned out to be my best day since surgery yet! I was so scared cuz my hubby went back to work today and i didn't know how id get through the day with myself and a 2 yr old ....i have been in so much pain had complications with an infection and now have an opened incision and also couldn't use the restroom by myself .....first yesterday i got a toilet aid and that worked wonders then my mom showed up before i even woke up to help me all day she stood by but i did everything got my daughter out of her crib changed her diapers fed her and everything i know it may not seen like much but I've felt so bad for 2 and a half weeks i was petrified i would be stuck in my bed and she'd be crying in her crib and i wouldn't be able to get her:( the one thong i did was i stuck to taking pain meds all day but half the dose ....this past few days ive been trying to go all day with no pain meds because i was wanted to see if i could get through the day without them for when i was home alone with makayla but instead i ended up in so much pain i was stuck in bed....so.since my mom was here in case i took 1 percocet instead of 2 every 4 hours and it made it so much easier and i was not out of it like i was afraid id be ......we even went outside today and she played on her swingset and her outside toys for almost 2 hours and i got a little sunburn lol i havent been outside that.much in weeks and it was beautiful out! Ol sorry again for the ramble but i had to share i had such a good day ...now tomorrow im really on my own my mom cant come unless she has to(she lives in nj i live in ny) and hubby is working so hoping tomorrow is as good as today

Ouch steak tongs! I think this is smoother lol
