I had my surgery on February 21st and I am standing up in a wedding on August 10th. I was 215 lbs. to begin with and today I am 196. I don't know what to do about ordering a dress? I was wondering what a 6 month weight average is for people with a similar size?

I would suggest you wait and order your dress closer to the event. You can then order it at/just below what size you are, and order that size, after confirming with at great seamstress that she can size it down ahead of the event.

PS - for you, it may be a good idea to take lots of pics at different angles and measurements, that way as the time to get the dress you can also get an idea of not just how may pounds you are dropping, but where it is dropping from. It could be important for the dress (and I assume you thoroughly plan to rock this dress!).

I was sleeved 2/18 at 217 and I am curious about this too. I'm going to a friends wedding in August and all of my college friends will be there.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
