It's weird. Other sleeve patients don't seem to want to hear the I've had it as easy as I had it. No vomiting, minimum nausea, able to do self-care: clothe myself, I get off the pot myself, in and out of the shower myself, make my own meals myself. It's almost like it's a badge of honor to have had some sort of complication or malaise after surgery. No wonder the nurses made the comment like they did. No wonder they were so impressed and so surprised I was getting out of bed and walking without prodding and prompting. Smh

Just did the Biggest Loser, CardioBlast warm-up...yes, warm-up and I'm worn out. Due to health issues, I have little balance or stamina and it's difficult to stand straight without my back/legs going out. It wasn't longer than 5 min. Feeling pretty low abt myself right now.

Whoa! Whooshed right past 250 last night. I had stalled for so long and now in the last couple of weeks I've lost over 10 pounds. My body is still very sore from working out but I am still going out on a long hike today through the North Georgia Mountains.

Baby food spoon... Yes? No?

Good question. I want to buy one to check it out because right now I'm on full liquids and found myself talking to my son while eating a pudding and smashed it down. I'm thinking something needs to help me control the speed in which I eat.

Finally was able to get another fill today. It's only my 4th fill in 7 months. The PA isn't aggressive at all. I still only have 3.5cc in my band but hoping this fill will help get me to onederland.

Oops! I thought I was supposed to start the PreOp diet. I only have to be on it five days not seven; I actually don't need to start this until Wednesday, but a couple of extra days of liver shrinking won't hurt, right? Lol!
-
Starting the 7 day liquid PreOp diet, tomorrow.

I go in on April 2. Really trying not to freak out. I just keep reminding myself what my life was like before I gained weight and what my life is like now. I want my old life back, cuz this, this isn't living.
-
Well it's official, I am training for a 10k. I love the energy around training for these things.

Freaking out!! Surgery is 2 weeks from today!!
-
I've been extremely tired and light headed. Ugh! Surgeon was up set when I told her I lowered it that far. She was worried it might kill my metabolism. I wonder if that's whats wrong.
-
Sorry... I'm preop. They put me on 1200 cal diet and I wasnt losing, so I switched it to 500 to 600. My surgeon was quite upset with me about that. She says I will burn out my metabolism before surgery. However, after surgery I'm going to be having so few calories, right? Why won't that burn out my metabolism? I don't necessarily "feel" like eating. And want to continue losing until surgery. I feel really off today. I have five more days left of the anabiotic pack for h. pylori, maybe it's the medicine.

Busy thjs weekend; preparing my life for surgery in a few weeks.
-
With 15 days to go, I've lost the 20# required by my surgeon! The rest of the way they'll lose before surgery, will be a bonus!
-
Doing my best to do so. I think lowing my calories to 600 cal a day is kinda messing with me. I've been extremely tired and light headed. Ugh! Surgeon was up set when I told her I lowered it that far. She was worried it might kill my metabolism. I'm just doing everything I can to lose weight before surgery.

6 months in and 105 pounds down. At 255 pounds I am now officially the smallest I have ever been in my entire adult life and I'm 34. I think maybe I was at 255 when I was 15 but only very briefly. That's pretty awesome.

Another 4# gone for a total of 18# pre-op!!!

Saw my surgeon again today, I've lost 15# of the 20# the surgeon requested (I don't have an insurance mandated amount to lose). The CT scan that was done of my hernia actually shows a good liver, so she's not worried about that, however... Blood tests not great. My PPT is elevated. It could be from the aspirin I take or it could be that I clot too much. Need to retest and get a referral to hematology. The test also shows I have H. pylori and have to do some round of meds for...
