It's Friday Confession Time!
RitaBee replied to Lilee84's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having a hard time right now, seems like I am slipping back to old habits, especially with sweets. I love Easter time and Easter candy and I keep buying jelly beans and the marshmallow peeps. I am feeling like I am loosing control, especially when I see that the scale is not moving. -

I guess I'm at a stall
RitaBee replied to tamareta's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Same here, I am 2 weeks post-op today. I think like 4 days after my surgery, I dropped 12 pounds. Then it started creeping back up so now I am at 10 lb weight loss, but it has been stuck there for 1 week but feels like 1 month. I keep telling myself it has to come off eventually, just hope I didn't have major surgery for nothing! -
I actually pureed some chili with a little extra hot sauce and it didn't bother my stomach. I needed something other than mashed potoatos and applesauce.

Frustrated with Doctors
RitaBee replied to BroadwayBaby's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wouldn't worry about what the doctor's say and go for what you want to get down too. Although that would be discouraging, prove them wrong!!! My sis-in-law was about your height and she has lost over 130 lbs so it is possible. Good luck dear! -
Nothing is working! (tmi)
RitaBee replied to DallasMomofTwins's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was in Monday also, and my first BM was today. I am thinking mine was due to some antibiotics my PCP put me in yesterday for a sinus infection or some caffinated tea that I drunk last nite. -
When will i feel better?
RitaBee replied to DallasMomofTwins's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
DallasMom, I had my surgery on 9/12 also and like you, it seems to get worse as the days go by. I actually felt better than expected the night after surgery then it went down hill from there. I think I just don't like the weakness I am feeling, but finding it hard to get all if my fluids in. I pray it does get better in a few days as everyone is saying. The best of luck to ya! -
BP keeping me in hospital a 2nd night
RitaBee posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I never really had an issue with high blood pressure, until 2 months ago when I started this process for my sleeve surgery. I was just thinking it was stress. Now they are keeping me again to get it down. Has anyone else had this problem? I so want to go home! I knew everything was going too smoothly. I felt good yesterday after surgery. Today I feel like crap, not to mention topping it off with a sinus headache, -

So excited, surgery is in the morning! Mentally preparing myself for what the next 4 weeks will be like with this liquid diet today. So ready for this life transformation! -
What to tell people why I am out?
RitaBee replied to shellnsons's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been wondering the same thing but since my surgery was originally scheduled for this holiday week I was saying I was just taking some extra days off. I have only told my immediate family and a few friends if which one is overly concerned to the point if not wanting me to have it. My body, my life! Don't get me wrong, I am glad that they are concerned but I just wonder if that is all there is to it. -
No surgery today as planned :o(
RitaBee replied to RitaBee's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know Emily, that really meant a lot that he called me personally. He said he felt bad but he wanted to concentrate on the surgery instead of focusing on his pain. I love that he is a perfectionist, yet believes in God himself. That is a real plus with me! He also did my sis-in-laws surgery and she looks great (has lost 136 lbs).
