zoepoodle reacted to pik in Under 200 as of today! =)
For the first time in probably about five years I am under 200 pounds! That is a good feeling for sure!
The strange thing is that I know my clothes don't fit anymore and everything is loose on me. I have to keep going down in sizes.
When I look at myself, I can see it a little, but looking at my stomach, it almost looks the same. I know it isn't...it can't be!
My face is back to looking thin, and that is nice for sure!!!

zoepoodle got a reaction from Beni in October Surgery Date
I was given heparin at surgery time to help avoid possible blood clots later. Apparently it was too much and I bled a bunch. Started passing blood thru my bowels. Bruised at every site I was pinched poked pierced or prodded. This caused me to faint upon standing. Much better now.

zoepoodle reacted to Becca1 in Newbie looking for buddies! 10/16 Surgery
Looking for some October buddies so we can have moral support and stuff (i.e. exchange numbers and instagrams if you want). I have my surgery date 10/16 and am currently on day 5 of liquids. I already spoke w/the anesthesiologist from the Hospital the other day and just need to be told what time to arrive. Also from S. Florida!

5 days post op and finally home from hospital after some complications. Just so tired pain is minimal though. I have to admit, when I first woke from surgery my I wondered what the heck I did to myself. Ugh.

I'm 6 days post op and still on Clear Liquids for another week then full liquids for 2 weeks. And no issues with that.

zoepoodle reacted to woo woo in secret surgery: what else can you tell someone if they ask?
I just went with stomach surgery and left it at that. People are generally too polite to pry any further than that.

zoepoodle reacted to Rovobay in secret surgery: what else can you tell someone if they ask?
I have decided to keep my surgery a secret. Major reason for keeping it a secret is lack of understanding and all the misconceptions. I don't like to justify myself, plus I am pretty private.
so my question is, if it does come out that I had surgery, what can I tell them that would jive with a VSG? gerd surgery? haital hernia repair? I need something good, if it comes up.
I am a week out of surgery now and have this week off of work. no one knows why I took off time. told them it was just a staycation. told no family. but I had auto reply on my work e-mail and sister (with a mouth the size of texas) sent me an e-mail to work and had my auto reply kick back to her. Now she knows that I was off..... she asked if I was on vacation and I replied "yup". hopefully it can die there.... but if not.

zoepoodle reacted to alexsisv in What is everyone NOT going to miss after sleeve?
I'm not going to miss bumping into walls, worrying about fitting into chairs - especially airplane seats, having to shop at plus size stores and so much more! What about you?
What are you going to try as you get smaller? I want to try rock wall climbing!

People you have known for years but haven't seen in a while introduce themselves to you and ask who you are. Yup just happened two days ago and 2 months ago!

zoepoodle reacted to JustWatchMe in You know you've had WLS when ___________________ ! ! ! ^_^
You hear your stomach grumble when you lie down to go to sleep and instead of ravenously raiding the fridge, you check MyFitnessPal and know that you've had enough today, you're not really hungry, and those noises mean you might see a loss on the scale in the morning, so BRING IT!
