Getting nauseaed watching hubby eat
Cmsumom replied to KabinKitty's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I so know this - My husband and my son (who is only 10) both have no issues with weight- and eat like there is no tomorrow- it makes me sick to watch them to- and I am not even sleeved yet! I went thru a time when I was starving myself in college- and I remember when people were eating around me- it made me gag- it was like they would just be eating mashed potatoes and I would see them and it was like they were eating pure fat- I feel your pain- you could try telling him to just slow it down a bit- maybe that would help- I am sure if he loves ya- he would at least do that- and it would be better for him to .. -
Calling all May Sleevers!
Cmsumom replied to karaserene1985's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi, I am getting my surgery May 2nd by Dr. Fearing and Dr. Malley in Overland Park, KS. -
I know crazy right! But I have tried and tried to quit drinking Diet Coke- and just couldnt-don't get me wrong I had the strongest urge to pull up to Sonic and get me a Rt 44 today - I was a very serious addict to doing this- more so than alcoholics I think- I couldn't go a day without it- I would even sneak out of the house and go get me one and just sit and drink it lol Anyway- - but my headaches are gone and I am on day 3 of my preop diet- also I get two shakes a day and a smart ones for dinner- so it has been really not to to hard- I can have jello or broth and my new favorite is diet snapple- I never had it before now- so anyways- AND I am after 3 days- down 5 lbs. (Well Sunday all I could have was clear fluids cause I had my EGD yesterday) but I am thankful!

It really does go away in a few days- I went cold turkey on Sunday and thought I was going to die yesterday but I am fine today- (And I used to down at least - at least 3 Route 44's from Sonic a day in Diet coke) so- all I have had is water- and Protein shakes- and today I am very surprised that I havn't had the head explosion feeling from yesterday.

You're gonna look horrible for a while...
Cmsumom replied to samantha209's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You- know my mom told me the same thing- oh- and might I add that when I was also talking to her about after losing all the weight I might have a tummy tuck and boob job- she said "What about your butt- you might need more work there!" Thanks mom. Anyways- I have a fella at work that had the DLS surgery- and yes for a while he didn't look that great- getting used to eating different- his hair falling out-, his skin really loose- but now he is bouncing back and how good he feels now just radiates off of him. So I can see what your friend and my mom mean- but sometimes its just hard to take when you are wanting this to better your life and become healthier. -
OMGoodness! WOW! What a difference you have made in your life- what size were you before? Great Job!!!
-
thats so funny- I was just thinking- where is she? She should have posted by now!!
-
Well poo- I will need to talk to my doc- he puts one in and I stay two nights in the hospital and don't go in to get the drain out for a whole week!!
-
Ok - I am scheduled for surgery May 2nd -I have my EGD tomorrow- so - I sat down with my DH and talked to him about this whole process- (not that I havn't been talking non-stop about it the last 3 months) but I think he finally understood what I was doing last night and now tells me that he does not want me to do it- but that if "I" choose to do it anyway- he will support me- which I am grateful for but I am just at a lost for words- this whole time he has just kept saying yeah I think you should- but now- why now- he thinks I will be sick for a long time- I have had a surgery every year for the last five years and just now feeling up to par after the last one- I think may be why he is questioning it- but thought I would get on here and ask you what you all think- what should I tell him- he is just worried- but so am I- just questioning a lot right now...

Day 3 of pre-op diet
Cmsumom replied to apple-saucy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
lol - the whole six pack- like they are these big things- you cracked me up with that- but maybe I am just tired- lol -
Just don't know what to do....
Cmsumom replied to Cmsumom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks- How are you doing? I see you are only a few days out- -
I know its silly -but at size 22 I have a pair of jeans that I love- and fit perfectly my shape- so I went back and bought a 18, 14, and a 10- 10 is my goal size- hopefully they will fit like a glove at each stage of loss.

Day 3 of pre-op diet
Cmsumom replied to apple-saucy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes 4 more days!! Hang in there- I can have 2 protein shakes- unlimited Jello and broth and then one lean cuisine or smart ones for dinner and thats it- -
Yea- I would definately call your dr- obgyn- I have had a hyster. also - but this surgery should not effect down there- but I did notice that when i had another surgey- later to take out a tumor- I was definately more dry down there- might be due to all the meds and such- idk- just saying- maybe that is the cause (sorry just saw where you put you see the doc on Monday- )

I know it is not what you want to hear- but when I had my son- he was so little and skinny- his little baby butt was just like that too- but I thought it was cute lol

How many sleeves had your surgeon performed?
Cmsumom replied to MeMeMEEE's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yep I don't know of any deaths- of mine- and he has done 5 of the sleeve surgeries- an blood clots are out of the control of the doctor- and like you said before if that one patient had several things already going wrong in their body- sometimes its to much- I would say if ya have prayed about it and feel comfortable in his knowledge and good about everything- then you should stay with him- -
Congrats to you all! Stay strong and focused! Here's to Monday and the start of new way of living! !
