I can't speak for her, but as for myself I am not in pain at all, I barely used any pain meds in the hospital and nothing since.

We got sleeved on the same day! It's funny my group has me on pureed/soft foods from the day after, just in tiny portions. I guess everyone does it differently

I haven't had any surgery yet but I still have VERY flabby arms- and I usually do my 5ks in tank tops. My issue is that they'll chafe worse on my shirt sleeve than they will if I just lube my arms up with lotion and wear a tank top. So unless I can wear long sleeves (and I do when I'm running in any weather below 70) I'm…

This! It sucks to start but if you get a few recipes together it's much simpler. When I have the time/funds to plan it out, I try to copy some of my meals as well. It might be kind of boring but most weeks i'd rather be lazy and not give myself options. When I have too many choices I get overwhelmed and just go for the…

Oh okay, sounded way too much like mine for a moment lol. You know the facts yourself. You love your legs. YOU finished that race- you're obviously athletic! The problem is that there's no real way to shut down the negativity with moms. If you know you have the type of relationship where you can sit down and talk to her…

^^^^ This. My mom is my worst critic, verbally and physically attacks me when I'm doing well for myself. Ignore her and you'll be happier. It's gonna hurt at first but trust me you'll be better off in the long run.

My nephew is 8 months old and somewhere around 23lbs at last check. I've been his favorite dance partner since he came home, he was very colicky as…

On a daily basis? I walk A LOT. I lift heavy a few times a week, and at least once a week I dance (most often holding a heavy baby.) Sounds like nothing but when you think about it, it really is.

I'm pretty sure either a) no one else knows what a spinner is or b) this is a one-and-done kinda thread lol.

Hi girls! I'm 5' even and somewhere around 215- I've been here off and on for a few years now with 0 success. I actually GAINED overall. I registered for a seminar on bariatric surgery earlier today, I am sick of this! I eat right, I'm active, I don't have a thyroid problem (but I do have PCOS) and it's impossible to lose…

Thanks!

It counts! I count my hair in that measurement too lol.

Hi! I'm new here and 5'1"! Add me!
