    orlando got a reaction from finediva in Secret Surgery   
    I only told my wife about my upcoming surgery. The only reason I told her is because of the overnight hospital stay & needing a ride home. I've sworn her to secrecy. My wife is doing everything she can to talk me out of my surgery. So even now I regret that I told her. I don't want my kids or the rest of the family to know. I have a great family and in-laws. I just don't want to tell them. I know if I tell my kids I might as well post it in Twitter, Facebook & Instagram. Or Twacetagram as I call it.
    I'm definetly not telling my friends and coworkers. I've witness their disdain for another coworker who had wls. Good or bad...I don't want to be the topic of conversation. I don't want everybody constantly asking how much weight have I lost.

    Stop paying so much attention to the scale. I know thats easier said then done. I would be a hypocrite if I say I didn't look at the scale a lot. I think we've all dieted enough to know that we're going to stall sooner or later. My weight stall came a lot sooner than I expected. I was stuck at 256 lbs for a little over a week. Even though I didn't lose a pound, I did lose size. My clothes fit looser and I had to buy another belt. Yes I was frustrated that the scale didn't move, but I knew I was doing everything right. I knew sooner or later the scale was going to move again. I also try to keep everything in perspective. This morning I weighed 252 lbs. When I got sleeved Aug. 4th I weighed 276 lbs. So even with my stall I still lost 24 lbs in a month.

    Where are all the losers who've had their surgery in August. I got my sleeve Aug. 4th. When did you get yours? I've lost 12 lbs since the operation. I'm not going to lie, after I had my surgery I thought I made a terrible mistake. I was in a lot of pain. My nurses told me I (like most men) suffered from 'BigBaby-itis'. Whatever....they didn't know my pain. Don't judge me! I loved my nurses. They made me walk every few hours no matter what I was doing. The next morning I was feeling a lot better. Matter of fact I returned to work by the end of the week. How is that for being a big baby? I'm still on a mostly liquid diet, but I don't have a problem sticking to it. I have had the most vivid dreams about food lately though. The other day I dreamt that I was at a Kenny Chesney concert and he had the most delicious looking Brisket on the jumbotron as he sanged. Your probably wondering what song was he singing while the Brisket was on the Jumbotron. I was wondering what the hell I was doing at a Kenny Chesney concert....Anyway. That it's my testimony. I would live to hear from my fellow August Sleevers.

    I got sleeved Monday (August 4th). I have to admit the first few hours I was in excruciating pain. I'm talking "lawd help me, I can't take no mo" pain. I was positive that my doctor did something wrong. Well come to find out, I'm a baby. A big big baby. So that night I put on my big boy pants and did a lot of walking. By Tuesday morning, when I checked out, I was mostly pain free but still very nauseous. Everyday I've been feeling better and better. I was scheduled to be on vacation for 2 more weeks, but by Friday morning I felt good enough to go back to work. At my job I can work either inside behind a desk or outside doing a lot of walking. I felt I could've worked outside, but I'm going to take it easy for awhile.
