7 months out

Ok soooo im 7 months out. was 270 and now I am 187. I have totally slacked on protein bad bad me. I am sure i would probably weigh a bit less. But every since I was in the hospital my brain says omg throw it up now apparently. Very few of them I can stomach. Once I actually take pictures I will post some. I have to get too 160 we will see how this goes. Lets see loose skin..check! chicken wings and all. Its not too bad though. The belly skin is what bothers me. Thin hair with the protein. It see

Progress, found a new way to get protein in (for me that is)

Ok so as of 3/6 according to my nutrionist I am on track with everything. I dont feel that way but she was happy. She wants me to be 218 by my 3 month mark which is 4-14.I am currently 233 was 270. Thats a ways away and only 15 lbs but with the way I get stuck on a weight for over a week at a time kills me. I need to start exercising more but I still have a hole in my side. That prevents alot.   I am absolutely horrible at getting my protein in! But I found that the french vanilla protein work

myfitness pal app--awesome for tracking food intake.

For those of yolu worried about getting protein in and calories and even basic vitamins YOU WANT THIS APP!!!!. You can make your daily calories what your dr sets. You can scan the barcodes on all foods or just search for them. Makes life easy. I am supposed to be between 500-600 daily. come to find out I was only getting 400! which can cause a stall. It will track your weight and even measurements.   Oh and add friends ---asifitsthelast.

Back at work...

Well I am not that far out from surgery and still healing from my infection. I have hit a stall. I figure its because I cant workout. Surgery was 1/16. I am stuck at 235. I am back at work walking around though. Hopefully by next week I will loose a couple more lbs. I want to hit goal by 6 months. I only have 70 lbs to go.

Long day!

Well a trip to the naval exchange and the mall whooped my butt. I havent been up for that long since surgery 1-16. I was up for 4 hours straight walking around. I know it doesnt sound like a lot but omg do I hurt. With still having this hole I walk funny a bit. So my back and belly was angry. But I have to press through. I go back to work 2-20 and I have to get used to being up and standing on concrete again.   Hopefully only another month of this!

BACK TO WORK! Down 25 lbs

SOOOOOO, I will be going back to work 2-20. My Dr told me it is perfectly fine to go back to work with my wound as long as I cover it properly. Typical packing gauze and bandage. Also to wear my abdominal binder for extra coverage. Home depot has this dust that gets on everything.   In other news I am 241 today and according to my nutritionist I am right on track. They expect at this point for me to have lost 25% of my excess weight. The weigh in they first counted was 266 (I started this at 2

Hard journey, murphys law I suppose, infection

OK here goes. I have been using my cell to piddle around on here I figured it is time to get on a computer. I have had an extremely rough journey. So I figure it best to give you folks a timeline.   January 16th Wednesday   Surgery day, everything went well took a little less than an hour and about an hour in recovery to wake up. Once awake they transport you to your room. Its like a blur because you are still groggy.   January 17th Thursday   Released from hospital wishing they would k

Surgery tomorrow

Well surgery is tomorrow! Im not nervous at all, but i'm sure something may hit me tomorrow. I report to Maryview hospital (portsmouth, VA) at 7 a.m. for check in and surgery will be at 9.   I have been on a liquid diet for 7 days now and lost about 7 lbs. Alot of people on here say their DRs are not requiring them to have one. But after the research i've done I do recommend it. It helps shrink the liver. Considering that is in the way of the stomach it prevents injury from them moving it arou

Odd Support Group/suffolk Va

So I went to the mandatory support group meeting and it was interesting. Out of the 50 or so pre/post op there all of them were gastric bypass. Not only was I the youngest one there (Im 26) I mentioned sleeve and everyone was like no do gastric, gastric this that or the other. And then the nurse proceeded to tell everyone how there is no long term research (which is true) but made the sleeve sound not so good. The few other people in the room considering sleeve were looking scared after her spie

The Beginning

Ok here I sit counting down. And I tell you the wait is almost painful !! I go in 11-14 and do all my appointments. Labs, ekg, chest x-ray, ultrasound, barium swallow, nutritionist and psychiatric.I will expect to hear from the surgery scheduler 11-28. I am currently 5'5 267 and my surgeons goal for me is 155-165.   I have told some friends and co workers my plans and I almost always get the same reaction. "Are you sure. Your not that big." I chuckle a bit and ask them have you ever been this
