lrnettles 18 Posted July 11, 2013 Just put on the dress that my grandmother ordered for me. It is a size 14. And to think in February I was in a size 28. I haven't seen a 14 since middle school. 6 roundfuzzy, nnaddour, naynay209 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ECUJenn 116 Posted July 12, 2013 I donated blood tonight for the first time since surgery. My resting heart rate has dropped by 30bpm and they could use the regular sized blood pressure cuff! 2 Fairyluver75 and naynay209 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elli'smommy 160 Posted July 13, 2013 Before surgery I was on a diabetic pill called Onglyza and two different insulins. One (Apedra) a fast acting insulin I took 20 units per meal and a long lasting insulin (Lantus) that I took 95 units each night at bed. I am now 9 days post op and I haven't had any of those medications since I left the hospital! PTL!! I go on Tuesday to meet with my pcp and I'm hoping to come off the Crestor and Lisinipril. I'm very very happy how things are going! 2 reason2live and PittGuy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kellyk2511 282 Posted July 13, 2013 Went and bought some smaller clothes today. I was a 22 pants and 2-3x shirts pre-op. I still find myself gravitating towards styles for big girls. Well today I bought a shirt in a medium and size 12 jeans. And I looked good! Check out my shoulders! Who knew I even had any? 11 PittGuy, mamafine23, kloveburd and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
