I Cant Do This
Candace2314 replied to newgrandmother's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon had me do the slim fast diet - 5 shakes a day, one meal and at least 64 oz of water a day. I lost 13lbs during the 2 week pre op diet. I still have my diet info if you would like to give it a try. -
It's gonna be 102 degrees tomorrow- I'm sure going running outside would be a horrible idea in this Texas heat!

I totally have skin issues- My arms are soooo flappy lol. I've tried everything, skin tightening creams, work outs, etc... I really don't know what to suggest lol, but if anyone has suggestions I'm listening lol! -
I was dehydrated a couple days back- had to go to the ER, now I'm retaining water so I've been keeping my feet elevated and that's been causing me to pee every 5 minutes, I need a break lol

Thank you all -
I've officially lost 102lbs! I'm 25lbs away from where the dietician wants me to be and about 15lbs away from where my surgeon wants me to be. I've been on vacation so I haven't been able to update regularly! I hope everyone is doing well

I worked out 3 times this week, burning an average of 400-500 calories each workout session. Next week I hope to go to the gym at least 4 times, but I'm curious... should I be burning more than that each session??? This week I'm going to push for 700 calories each session. I'm worried that once the Fall semester starts in August that I won't have the time to even fit in 3 sessions a week because I have 6 classes (luckily they are electives; all but one- Statistics) and work! I am thinking about purchasing a Bowflex Treadclimber so I can at least get in 30 minutes a day (I'm going to go for exercising and studying at the same time lol). Any advice would be great! Thanks

Hello guys, I'm 23 years old and I was sleeved last Monday. I must say I'm feeling almost 100% better. All my incisions are closed and healing well, I have mild to no pain and I have been able to move around, dance, and feel absolutely free since surgery. I'm not sure if my age plays a big roll in it, but my mom is so scared that I'm going to hurt myself but I keep assuring her I have no pains. She keeps reinforcing the fact that I just had major surgery to get me to relax and heal, but I feel what's best for me is to keep moving and that way I will heel faster. To all of you who are thinking about getting this procedure done and you have you doubts- it's worth it. The pain that you may or may not endure is worth it. I would do it all over again if I had to. I'm only a week and 2 days out and I've already lost 13lbs!! I also know that I may stall at some point in my weighloss but at this point in time im ready for whatever may come my way. What excites me the most is getting close to my half way mark. I hope that my rambling helps someone. Candace
