Almost a year since my last update

Hello out there in bariatric land.   I haven't seen my surgeon in a year. I was stalled and he wasn't happy with me. My nutritionist doesn't call me.   I just started losing again, i guess this moving around thing works. I'm down to about 210. I just had to get a size 18 pants and they fit weird.         I've been working on my mental health. As we know, being overweight usually comes with low self esteem and depression. I've been going to group therapy, and individual. Trying to come

Still around

Hello to anyone that still wonders.   I'm down to 235ish lbs. I'm on iron pills. My hair has been thinning/falling out for the past 3 months, so i'm on biotin.   I REALLY need to work out. Apparently this surgery didn't cure my lazy. D:

The scale moved!

Holy ****...finally!   I am 28 days out and i thought why not hop on the scale. I had only lost 2 lbs...i checked and had lost another 5-7lbs. (My scale is off from my surgeons)   Finally. That's awesome. Especially since im menstruating. xD

5 more days of puree

Then i get mushy stuffs.   I'm healing well i think. I bought some Mederma because one of the wounds looks like it's going to be a huge scar.   Constipation has started, woot woot.   I'm still having pain using my stomach muscles. (Sitting up) I also have pain in a new place. It's by an incision but its not coming from it. It's not red or irritated. It seems to happen when i stand or sit.

Meh

Was out at stores for almost 4 hours and the gas in my shoulder is still there, what the hell.   I bought firming cream, compression wraps and checked a number of stores for the Quest Bars. Looks like GNC really is the only place that has them.

First Puree

Chicken with mayo, cauliflower, italian mrs dash, pepper and onion powder.     I scooped it all into a small container and am eating the stuff stuck to the inside of the magic bullet, lol   My stomach is making all sorts of noises, and i'm not sure how much to eat..

I miss the adjustable hospital bed, lol

Waking up at 2am and trying to get out of bed is painful as hell.   I don't have a normal bed with a frame that's all purdy. It's a bed and box spring. No headboard or nothing.   I kinda miss the remote for the bed, it would help me stretch and move the gas around. Now i have 6 pillows propping me up, lol. One of those pillows is used as a cat guard. They've been trying to lay on me.    

Even more scared :(

I had an allergic reaction to plasma. Broke out in hives. No surgery until tomorrow.   My blood isn't clotting as well as it should. Which is why the plasma. I took no aspirin so they've narrowed it down to not enough vitamin k, which is in veggies, which I can't have on the liquid diet.   I had a panic attack while getting hives. I also was used as a damn pin cushion for 15 minutes until the specialist got there and nailed the blood draw in 1 shot. I cried, they really dug around in my ha

Still waiting...

I've been on the phone since 10am.   I am so pissed off. (Can i say pissed?)   After everything....i'm waiting on this woman to call me back, telling me the insurance called her and approved this letter. I have a few hours left to wait i guess.     I don't think this surgery is happening on Monday.   This will be the 2nd time it's been moved. The 1st time, someone in the surgeons family died.
