Hi everyone! My surgery was August 1st and I feel wonderful. I am down 30lbs now and can definately tell in my face , butt and my boobs I returned to work on the 14th and seem to be doing fine. Okay my crazy WOW moment: After I dropped 20lbs. I realized that I could actually wipe my behind without struggling. Alright for real: my WOW moment was this morning when I realized that my clothes are falling off me now.

Hey everyone, My name is Julie I had my surgery August 3rd. I am doing much better than I was when I first came home. I was down 32lbs as of friday. My entire family is shocked and amazed because I used to be known as the freight train for my unbelievabley loud (house rattling) snoring. The day I had surgery I stopped and I have not snored since. My mother is baffled because I have snored since I was a child. Nice meeting ya guys! Julie

Hi all, I'm new here to this message borad and so glad I found it. I'm going to see my surgeron tomorrow and to a nutrition class ,I hope to learn alot. I'm still in some pain just soreness and swelling but this gas thats trying to escape is the worst. I'm just sipping on water all day and walking to the bathroom all day too! I know everyday it's getting better. I'm real sore where the drain came out . I'm sure that will feel better too !!! Love and Good wishes to all, Kelly

Hi, my surgery was July 31st and I have lost 16 lbs since my day of surgery weight. I was only in the hospital for 1 day, a little more than 24 hours! I wish I could have stayed there the second day becasue the pain was BAD at home. But it only lasted for that one day and after that I started to feel great. I just started on my soft solids diet. I have found that eggs are no longer my friend and that Yoplait light should always be in my refrigerator. Since I started this journey in November of 2005 I have lost a total of almost 60lbs. (39 pre-op). I know I am thinner but I still crave food and am nervous about how I will do for the rest of my life; losing weight and not gaining it back! I am still waiting for a WOW momment and I will make sure to share it as soon as I get one!
