Loving good will these days! It takes forever to scan the racks but it is usually a payoff when I find several sizes to try on and some of them fit!

I scored a Lee brand pair with the 29.99 tags still on for 3.99! The other pair was a name brand too for 1.99. You cant beat that when hopefully I'll only be in them a very short time! ;)

I'm trying this so I'm so glad to see u posting this. I'm super slow loser..apr 30th was my surg date and I'm down 38lb..feel not so successful! I've forced myself to increase my intake all the way around hoping it boosts my loss. Crossing my fingers.

I had surgery the same day and am down about the same. I feel your pain. I am very paranoid I am failing. We have to just keep on keeping on.

Got a major headache. After therapy on my back my DR pulled and stretched my neck and got deep down between My vertebrates with his fingers. I seriously dislike my neck and back right now!

That does make me feel a bit better tho thanks for telling me. I get paranoid I didn't have the same outcome or I'm failing etc when I see people raving about how well they have done. I'm trying :)

I had surgery on 4/8 and I'm also only down 38 lbs. I was a revision from the lap band and heard I might lose slower but at this point I feel like it won't ever come off.

I've only lost 32 lbs since surgery April 22. It blows my mind when i see those who have lost 50 - 70 lbs already. Gallbladder surgery is at 1:00 pm today.

I was on the lower end of the spectrum with my bmi I qualified with my comorbidities with a bmi of 37 day of surgery. I was heavier and managed to lose down to 213. All the fears and insecurities I think we have are pretty much the same. Is like we are desperately hoping and praying this works.

Yes I agree it's hard enough not to see the numbers I expected and then to see what other ppl are accomplishing. I am very happy and excited for them just wish I could report the same

You all will get there. I was at 358 when I started my two week pre op dt. For some the heavier we are the faster it comes off. I got your back!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
