Sorry haven't updated but here I am nearly a year on May 21 ...total weight lost 129lbs ...have been slacking on going to the gym and vacation came up so I have been stalling on weightless longer now .. I am fluctuating between 179 to 181 ...went from a size 24 to an 8/10 ...and tops L/XL because bigger breast ...I am eating whatever I want though I do limit fried food pasta etc...I can only eat half a slice of pizza still and maybe about 6 oz of fluid by itself...loving my body now ...after all the weight loss I do have loss skin and well at the moment we are family planning for our last baby ...after a year will be going to see someone for a mid body lift ...since surgery I have had to get iron transfusions I had to get my gallbladder removed and have been on and out of the hospital ...feels like I'm sick a lot when I think about it ...but just small things here and there ...I am doing a lot more then what I used to do and have more energy then before ...my goal weight is 160-175 ...will post more pics later..

picture update and stat
So I start my treatment on Thursday and every Thursday of the week for my transfusions ...OK I will bring up the topic on hair loss...As of now I have lost a lot of hair ..my once thick hair is now thin ...it got so bad to were I had to cut it short .. (you will see in pic) ...but my Dr said it is do to my body not absorbing my nutrients and once I start treatment it should get better and will grow back...I am still losing hair but not as much as when it was long ...If i start getting patches y I think I'd cut it completely off...As for weight I am now at 240 from 308 so weight loss is good...but another topic I like to bring up is stalls...I have had plenty and of course will have more ..The longest stall I had was 2 weeks and that was going 4 times out of the week to the gym ..it happens but don't get discouraged because you will lose anywhere from 3-5 after ...on a good note I went from a 22 to a 15/16 ...so I am extremely happy ...I found I fit into my 14 Levi ' s but don't like the stomach bulge ...If you have any questions just fill free to drop a comment

I work. How many days do you think someone needs to ask off for after the surgery? I know everyone is different but for example in your case, how many days do you think you needed/would need/ date?

It took me 2 weeks but was sluggish ...Some people are up and Adam after day 3 ..but since I had complications in the beginning it took me time ..always have a backup on your dates because you never know ...say you request 1 week give or take so it gives you time to adjust and if you feel up to it can return early before week is up ..If that makes sense ..just in case One day you could be feeling good and the next you just don't feel up to it ...but you still have that week off

update 3 months post op..
Hi everyone...so as of now I am 3 months post op and total down 62 lbs... I had a stall for 2 weeks and began to lose again...I have dropped 4 pant sizes and losing inches...As for health it has been a roller coaster ..I am seeing a specialist at OReilly Cancer Center and I am getting iron transfusions for 5 weeks since I have been having trouble with that...Also :( hair started falling this month which I know it's normal so I am not stressing about that ...other then the small bumps in the road ...I love the new me ...I honestly would recommend it to those who have done everything to lose the weight but can't ...This is a tool to push you into that right direction and win your life back and take it by the horns...I am more active ..and I work out at least 3-5x out of the week an hour each day 30 cardio and 30 weight training for toning ...If I can do it you can too...
