Just peachy

I am so excited to learn there is an app for this! I want to do the "Dirty Girl Mud Run" and need to train for it. I have a slight concern in that I had a very bad leg break (double tibia plateau fracture) three years ago and the doc told me I would not/should not run again. I'm thinking that was because of my weight and now I'm 100 pounds lighter so I plan to ease into it and I hope this program will help me do just that.

I was sleeved on Aug 27th & Hit 100 LBS! I really cant believe it! Started prediet weight at 341 and I now weigh 242! Much faster than I thought!

100 down this morning!!! Pre op diet on Aug 7 and Surgery on Aug 28. Finally got to my first goal before the new year. I'm downright giddy today!


Beginning of August


This morning

Thankyou , and yes I feel like a different man!

Going to start my C2K tomorrow as well - I am going to start with a plan that begins with a 5k walk to start as I have wicked arthritis, and see how things go from there. I would love to run and have an app for my phone once I build up a bit of stamina. I am praying my knees cooperate
Hubby and I also start Water aerobics once my new swimsuit arrives - I dont think I have bought one of those since I was a teenager and am a bit mortified at the thought of actually putting one on in public lol.
here's to scary new activities

I went to olive garden and the manager had my ckicken and gnocchi strained and measured to 4oz only. I was only able to eat about 2oz. She even send me home with two 4oz containers ready for me to eat. This will probably last me 2 or 3 days. I also got my Isopure.< /p>

Hey sleevers,
(some TMI)
My surgery was the 28th (Tuesday) and I have been so miserable. All I want to do is sleep... I force myself up to walk around the room every hour or two and take deep breaths, half the time using the spirometer.
seems like everything makes me throw up even though I am on zofran,
I started using the subpositories and it works better... Just had a Popsicle, it was so nice to have a non-nasty taste in my mouth for once and know I'm getting some liquids at the same time.
I do have problems with taking all of my meds and Vitamins without throwing them back up.. I still have "foam" in my mouth and when I throw up, it's just more foam.
Anyway, I just wanted to see if it is a normal thing for us to feel so miserable the first few days or weeks? Thank you!
Ps: if this didn't all make sense i blame the drugs!
Bethany: I had the same experience. Everything made me nauseous, even gas x strips. They finally gave me Ativan ( sublingual ) and Toradol for pain which is non narcotic. Narcotic pain meds can make you more nauseous. That combo made all the difference for me and I immediately began to feel better. I was throwing that frothy crap, all meds, and anything else I swallowed. The Ativan did the trick.
I hope they find something that works for you soon!

I cannot believe that it's been 23 days since I had my surgery! I honestly do not know where the time has gone. I am down 26.5 lbs since starting the pre op diet. I am in the midst of the 3 week stall, but know that after nearly 6 weeks of being at 500-800 calories/day, my body has some serious readjusting to do. I've been back at the gym for 2 weeks and every day feel a little stronger. I'm looking forward to going back to kettlebell classes next month. I know that is going to be a huge help in dropping weight and reshaping the body.
So many of us starting this journey together! We are amazing!!

You are doing a fantastic job Klyn, thank you!!

yes sometimes its been very hard for us to keep lists up as using them n Facebook and here, and sometimes one of us(Me) dont catch them. We have had a huge list over 200 now I believe, so forgive us when that happens....I know when I went in for surgery i sort of lost track on a few and then some days been so tired havent kept up as well...but your still part of us all we miss, just email us, or on most ours you can add your name to it also

Yes I did!! I even started thinking to myself 'Im not thatttt big' . But I am :/ My Doctor even asked me just before they put me under the anaesthetic if I had changed my mind & I blurted out YES!!! He actually had to stop what he was doing and ask me a second time. I of course went through with it but I truly know how you feel. Its so scary but believe me you will be fine!! These Doctors know what they are doing & the pain isnt so bad. Before you know it you will be back at home complaining about the liquid post op diet lol (like I am right now). Plus you have all us here cheering you on. You can do this!! Keep thinking about how great it will feel throwing out you fat clothes!! Keep us updated Sending prayers your way xx

I'm sleeved!!! I've struggled a bit with nausea but haven't gotten sick.... Thank the Lord! I'm finally getting Clear Liquids today and if I'm able to urinate on my own I may be released this evening!! Hope all is well with my fellow 8/27 sleevers, as well as those who went before us and those to come!

I'm at the hospital!!! Nervous! Excited! See you on the losers bench fellow sleeves!

I checked with nutrition data.com and It looks like this is the breakdown.
Protein 29 g,
Carbs 10 g (11 g.)
Sugars 3g.
Sodium 785 mg. (752 mg.)
Fat 15 g.--saturated fat 9 g.
Fiber 2 g (1 g.)
Cholesterol 84 g.
The difference is that I used onion powder not onion salt, based on recipe I used 12 oz. cottage cheese-1 % and 15 oz. ricotta part skim. Also sprinkled tops with a wee bit of Parmesan. The numbers in parenthesis are the data using 2 cups of fresh zucchini or yellow summer squash grated-instead of the spinach(my garden runneth over--ha ha )
I hope this was helpful

That your taste buds change!
I was never told that after the op everythingggggggggggg will taste extra extra extra sweet!

Congrats to all the recent sleevers and those up to be sleeved. The pre-op diet is worth it, the post op diet is tough but again, necessary. We will all be there with you!

My surgery is Wednesday morning at 6am. I'm excited but find myself freaking out!! Am I doing the right thing? Will I fail with this too? Will the pain kill me? Oh my mind won't stop with worry!?!!! I know I want this, I know I'll be ok! I'm just scared!!!! I have faith all will be well!!! Why am I so nervous?!?! I've finally made it through the 30 day Pre-op diet, tomorrow only Clear Liquids and bowel prep! Then it's MY day!! 8-22-12 will forever be the date of my new journey!
I wish everyone else a safe and successful journey!
God Bless!

Good luck, everyone! I'm 11 days out & feel better every day. No regrets, period!

Hey everyone, I'm still in the hospital. I'm three days post op and they are trying to get my blood (ptt) on a therapeutic level before releasing me. The nausea, headaches and other ailments have subsided. I still have a few gas pains the come on hard and then disappear within seconds. I've been upset because I knew I was going to have to stay hospitalized for two nights, but didn't count on four or five nights. It's been a struggle to arrange for childcare because my wonderful husband will not leave my side. So tomorrow is my daughter's sixth birthday and I've been stressing that I am not going to see her or be able to do anything for her. When I talked to her on the phone this afternoon she told me she wanted a piñata to take to school tomorrow for her birthday. I of course told her no way, maybe another day I would make it up to her. My surgeon comes in tonight and I'm begging him to let me go home and tried the sympathy route about my daughter wanting a piñata. He didn't budge, said I may be here one more or two more nights. I want you to know that 2 hours later that man walked back into my room carrying a horse shaped piñata and candy to fill it! He thinks he may release me in the morning so I will be able to surprise my daughter! How's that for a surgeon?
