    Onlybroomegirl,AWESOME results so far!! Good job!! Do you mind me asking what your starting weight was? Don't feel obligated to answer!! I know people who started at different weights lose at a different pace so I was just curious

    I dunno how many weeks you are out from surgery but I'm about 9 and my doctor oked alcohol in moderation and even suggested rum amd diet coke for the low calories. Where I'm from, the glass is mostly rum with a spritz of diet coke. If you're not feeling any pain I'd say you're probably okay.

    Reporting back- the wine went great...I didn't end up finishing the entire glass but pretty close. I like really dry red wine so I wasn't overloaded with sweetness, it went great with my petite fillet! Didn't feel anything more than a small buzz but I did have a pretty high tolerance pre surgery.

    katt1584 got a reaction from shadylady_57 in struggling everyday   
    I've had a rough recovery from my sleeve. Week 2 I was in the hospital with extreme nausea and unable to eat for about 6 days. I'm on week 4 now and have transitioned to soft food. It seems like everyday I make at least 1 bad choice because of head hunger. I will have a little nibble of bread or a couple cheese nips. It's so frustrating to me that I keep giving in. Today I told myself no more-but made it through the whole day making great choices then right before bed ate a whole serving size of cheese nips. Has anyone struggled this way and been able to turn it around? I'm such a defeatist when it comes to my weight I already feel like at failure at just 4 weeks out

    katt1584 got a reaction from 2muchfun in pre op appt and jerk of a doctor   
    I'm so sorry to hear that. My entire hospital stay I was treated with more respect by nurses and CNAs than I was by my docotor. The problem was really my doctors assistant. I had complications with my sleeve that landed me in the hospital a second time. I was having trouble keeping liquids down and was really dehydrated. After a swallow test they determined that liquid was getting stuck in my esophagus. I was in the hospital for a few days then sent home with a PICC line in my arm to have at home intervenous nutrition. I was really unhappy about this. My PICC line was causing me a lot of pain and after one treatment both of the lines were clogged.
    My next appointment was with his assistant who insisted NOTHING was wrong with my PICC line. She didn't even touch it or try to flush the lines. She said to me "I have a plan- how about we put a feeding tube down your nose until you can prove to me that you can eat or drink-you can handle that right? Cause you're strong" in the MOST demeaning tone I have ever heard in my life. LIke I was choosing not to drink anything. She blamed everything on my anxiety. She told me my home health nurse might have said something was wrong with my PICC Line but shes wrong and nothing is wrong with it. She insisted that I couldn't feel it and it was all in my head. WheN I told her that I was frustrated and didn't think things were being explained to me very well she flipped her computer screen around with alll the attitude she could and went through each of my medications like she was speaking to a child. SHe prescribed me anxiety meds (which I"m am not taking) and said "Lets face it..you've had anxiety since day 1. Like thats a crime. I left my appointment in tears and when the front desk tried to reschedule me next week with her I told them I refused to see her again and if I was coming back it would be to meet with the doctor. Who I'm not entirely sure will be much nicer. Everyone was so great until I didn't heal correctly from my surgery then they treated me like absolute crap. My next appointment I am going to bring someone with me and if I get talked down to again I will walk out and find another doctor. I just couldn't believe it. I'm so disappointed in my experience post op. I dont understand where it makes them feel good to treat people like that.

    Make sure to ask for early boarding so you can get the right seat. They will allow early boarding for medical usually no questions asked. Every time I have flown I ask for early boarding because being obese and flying is no fun! It takes the stress of finding the right seat away. Good luck!

    katt1584 got a reaction from kkrose in Day of Surgery!   
    Just got home from the hospital and I'm feeling good. My surgery only took 1 hour to complete and the doctor said it was as routine as it could be. My incisions looked great this morning and I was cleared to go home around 10 in the morning. I was really scared to do this surgery and I can't believe that I can finally say I'm on the losers side!!! I did it!! The doctor told me the most important thing over the next week is to sip and walk. Pain in manageable..we finally found a narcotic that worked. I had to take it orally..it just the tiniest bit of Syrup and oh boy does it work! Oxycoden I believe its called. It feels good to be home!! I have the next 9 days off of work and I'm hoping I can make a decent recovery by then. More updates soon!

    Okay guys.... surgery lasted about an hour and waking up immediately after was very painful. It felt like my back and chest were in a vice. Do yourself a fqvor and ask for a heating pad as soon as you are able. Falling asleep while typing this so im gonna make it short. Thank you all for your amazing support. The power of your prayers and kind words helped me through a very scary day.
