akreese02 174 Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Not sure you can tell from these pics but pre-op weight was 230 (227 after three day liquid diet pre-op). Now 187. Went from size 20 to a size 12 although I am apple shaped so I have lost EVERY pound in my ass and legs it seems like! Can't wait to see what the next three months brings!

akreese02 174 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) @busylizzy- I feel great now! I was really tired until I was able to eat solid foods. Only time I vomited was after taking a Bariatric Choice Multi-Vitamin (heard they are really potent but I can handle them now).

BusyLizzy 13 Posted July 5, 2015 When did you start having bowel movements? My surgery was Friday and I still have not gone to the bathroom ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akreese02 174 Posted July 5, 2015 About a week later and that was after taking Milk of Magnisia and stool softeners. I still struggle with Constipation on a high Protein diet but if I drink Smooth Move tea every other night, it keeps me regular! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
