    Hi Guys! I am on MFP everyday and I had my surgery 11-19. I am turtleing along and I keep my diary open so you all can see me screw up ;-) lol.

    I'm worm2872 on there as well.

    I'm right there with worm I'm keeping it real, had my surgery in Dec, open Diary, struggle with Protein intake , because I do not do meat real well, so my choices vary are limited, and I have an autoimmune disorder that affects my joints and organs so my weight loss slow and steady! however I'm an open book ;)

    wanted to check in with everyone, went back to work full time school full time, dealing with medical.issues, and trying to make this work is really hard, so not much time to log in multiple sites, but I'm so glad you guys are successful, losing weight and still helping each other I do mfp more though I have decided that I am cutting some people out because instead of asking why I do certain things or actually reading my journal correctly they rather "make up their own ideas" which is a shame we each have our own journey own fight man I struggle for every freaking pound my situation to begin with was diffrent and I think thats why people stop logging in, its easier to just stop logging in than to just say hey maybe thats not correct? I hope you all have a wonderful blessed day, whatever your journey is may you find the guidance your looking for, much peace and love , happy loosing

    Had an ultrasound on Tuesday! I've got gall stones. My Gallbladder has to come out!!! :( I don't want to go back in again. I'm so bummed.

    I am so sorry, I actually had my gallbladder out several years ago emergency surgery, it was not too bad, but being so close to another abdominal surgery might be more painful, but better now than later after your completely healed than have to reopen, please let me know how you fair, hopefully this will be all and you will be ready to go for the summer ;)

    I am not good my blood pressure and pulse are really low they can't figure it out, I will need to get a holter monitor to see whats going on so I can't excersise I had a bad fall, passed out and not due to dehydration, so im struggling my surgeon and nut have not been diet focused due to all the complications, I have really learned from all of you guys! so thank you all! so I feel I have made so many mistakes mainly eating carbs and not lost as much as I should have, but trying not to beat myself up too much because 55 since surgery and 65.5 total is still a fair amount, but feel like I will.loose the honeymoon phase and not hit goal, because along with this having prednisone munchies Omg :(trying so so hard right now to stay within calories is the hardest. But I am so.glad everyone is doing great!

    I am a post-op puker big time!!!! Tell your anesthesiologist pre-op' date=' there's a lot they can do. The scopolamine patch is a lifesaver!!!!!!

    HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 231.4[/quote']

    if you stay on top of your nausea preop and post op it will do wonders! I had mine 12/17/ , pain meds can also cause nausea unless your used to them . so if they can alternate between zofran and phenergan and give you a scopolamine that will surely help you . like most people say everyone heals diffrently keep your communication with your surgeon above all sip when you can thats important! I am almost three months out still have severe nausea use my ODT quite a bit, can't do meat most food.comes up but I am not normal case. ...... best of luck to you ;)

    My Dr admitted me yesterday' date=' we are doing lots of tests and I will have to get a pic-line because my veins are all collapsing when they try to get an IV started. The fall really aggravated the pain and I am not able to eat. I am back on Clear liquids. I'm sorry I'm not here to support you all, I'm still in a lot of pain. They did an ultrasound of he kidneys to see how big the stones are, they did an ultrasound of my legs to look for blood clots and they did a CT with IV contrast.....I am tired.... I can't wait till I am on my feet.....take care all.
