Hi Sannah, I won't be on the forum too much this weekend but I just wanted to say I'm thinking of you. I'm glad the pain is manageable for you right now. Try to have a good time with your celebration. I know how you feel about not wanting to miss anything. It may even make you feel a little better. I will be in San Francisco all weekend for my son and daughter to dance at a convention but I will keep checking in on you when I can. Give Venla a big hug!!!

Goodness, Sannah! My heart goes out to you. You are strong. You can do this!!!

Anyone thinking about their mortality?
kiki1196 replied to ISleevedIt's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have thought about it quite a bit and I wrote lots of letters one day when I was alone. What hit me the most was when my 14 year old son told me he isn't ready for me to die, we are too close and I'm the only person who understands him. That broke my heart! But it pushed me toward the surgery rather than away from it. Chances of dying in surgery is much less than dying of obesity. -
Hi Sannah, I'm so sorry to hear you have to have another procedure! When it rains it pours!! I always say "this too shall pass" but it's hard not knowing WHEN it will pass. You are young and obviously strong. You can do this! Focus on all the wonderful healthy things you and your family will be able to do together when this is all over. Stay strong my friend!! Prayers!

Hi jacee! My surgery is the 26th. I'm still a little afraid but mostly excited to do things with my family again. Let me know how your journey goes.

FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved
kiki1196 replied to DivaNurse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The Vitamin Shoppe has chewable iron. They have some online. They are suppose to be better than the liquid. -
You are right not to let yourself worry yet. Just stay on top of it and make sure your doctors do the same. You have been through a lot. You can make it through this too!

Couldn't find the strips but I got the chewable ones. Will they work too?

New study on exercise and depression in bariatric surgery patients
kiki1196 replied to Richard Foor's topic in Fitness & Exercise
Thank you for the article! This is a good motivator for me to work out, even if its just 10-15 minutes to start out. I'm glad there are benefits for such "little" activity. -
What is wrong with me?!
kiki1196 replied to Dreamingofhealth's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know exactly how you feel! My surgery is on 2/26. I wasn't put on a pre-op diet but I can't gain any weight or he won't do the surgery. That scared me into lowering my calories and eliminate sodas. However, my REAL motivation is knowing the lighter I am and the healthier my liver is the surgery goes better and is safer. You WILL have those foods again if you want them later on. However, as Laura-ven told me when I was sad about this, what have those foods done for you? A few minutes of pleasure but a lifetime of physical and emotional pain. The food isn't worthy of you! Hang in there! We are here for you! -

Delay of Menstruation After Surgery
kiki1196 replied to msuero's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm pre-op but my PA said it would be a little out of whack the first month or two from the trauma and all the changes going on. -
My kids are 14 and 11. Of course the 11 year old thinks she's 16! Nothing exciting on the shopping trip. Got a kitchen scale to weigh my food after surgery and Protein shakes. Woo hoo!! Can't wait until I'm shopping for a new wardrobe. San Francisco is beautiful and vibrant and fun. You really should go sometime. So glad you are feeling good today! You really deserve it. Did you find any time for some fun? How is the weather there? My niece lives in a small town outside of Bend Oregon. I'm hoping to visit her this summer.
