KristinaRnY

I have the hardest time taking compliments. It's like I'm not used to them, they make me feel awkward, and half the time I'm unsure I believe them. But now that they are coming more frequently and from more people I myself am finally starting to believe, hey maybe they are right. Right now I am trying to learn how to say thank you and take a compliment instead of pretending I didn't hear it and quickly changing the subject, or laughing, or saying "ya right". It's all so new.

If you don't want advice or constructive criticism why even post? So you have more people to practice your jerky behavior on? You need a serious reality check lady.

You look great Kristina! Thank you so do you!!! I'm visiting my dad this weekend and after I showered I noticed the towel fits all the way around me! Granted it is a bigger bath towel but it's not a beach towel!! Lol woohoo

Hey everyone just checking in. Started my preop diet at 347, surgery was march 24th. Weighed in at 226 today.

Hey there. I had the bypass so idk how much difference there is in restriction but I just tried bread and I was only able to eat 1/8 of a sandwich and 1/2c of soup. Have you had any follow up in the states? Maybe have them do a scan and make sure everything looks "normal" inside. This far out you should be healed enough to feel restriction. What does your primary care physician say?

My program didn't give a sugar restriction or goal. They just said eat 1200 calories a day and make good choices.

I love Dr.Kim, he is excellent. He checked on me 4 times last week because he knew I was traveling to a warmer climate and was worried about dehydration (having a hard time with fluids). It was like he took extra good care of me, my scars are tiny, I mean tiny and they didn't even bruise. I'll send you a pic if you'd like.

Mine took 1 1/2 for laparoscopic RnY

So I am 12 weeks out and only consuming 400-450 calories per day. My surgeon said I should be getting no less than 900-1000 calories a day at three months out. I don't understand how I could possibly eat that much, I'd have to force myself to eat all day long! I feel like I am sucking at this.

The doctor gave me this breathing toy that I have to use 10 times an hour. Guess that would sound pretty funny if you didn't know what it was for. Ahh the incentive barometer thing!! I didn't use that as much as I was supposed to, which would be why I forgot about it, I couldn't remember to use it when I had it! Lol

Maybe it's just me but I don't get it.. What is it you are suck suck sucking?

Maybe I'm lucky but I had RnY march 24th and didn't have any bruising or itching. Hope you feel better soon

I'm still waiting for that, 3 months post op and 1/4 of the energy I had pre op :-/
