The Starving Mom

clothing?

Oh I would still like to have one more baby... I have all girls so I want to try one last time for a boy lol

I talked to the surgeons office and they said that I am ok to start birth control- they just said the pill is not advisable.

Oh I will definitely be on here keeping everyone up to date- I also have a blog so feel free to check in and when I started the process I did the math on how long it would take me to get everything done and DECIDED I without a doubt WILL get my surgery in September and even tho the nurse doubted my ability make it happen- I did it! So dont ever give up it will be hard but it is most definitely worth it!!! There is a light at the end of the tunnel!

I dont have any tips for you- I am not diabetic - but I am super excited to see another person that has my same date for RNY- I am having my RNY at University Hospitals in Chardon, Ohio but thought I would say hi and congrats to a new surgery day buddy

I also already replaced Breakfast the Premier Protein Shake, and have been weighing my meals for a while now too.

Have to say I was super happy to see this because I actually gained a little weight and then lost some of what I gained and even with diet and exercise and weight loss meds I lost nothing... Its good to see that even under similar circumstances it DOES work

I have used crystal light like crazy- I would just recommend staying away from the caffiene versions now since you wont be able to have them later. I also have 4 water bottles- all 32 ounces- that I fill before bed- I have gotten myself in the habit now of drinking them all before bed time the next day- I know I do not need 128 ounces of water a day- HOWEVER my train of thought is that if I trained myself and got into the habit of drinking that much water now then 64 ounces post op will be much easier. Now I drink water like its a bad habit- I also replaced smoking with taking drinks of water lol so double score on that one!

I decided to start yoga in combination with walking/jogging, light cardio, and light weight lifting. Right now and until my surgeon clears me for more strenuous activites after my surgery I will only be doing yoga and walking

I am going through University Hospitals program.

That's what I am hoping for... I have one compression tank and hope to get a couple more before surgery day... Hope Your Day is Great, *Amber* The Starving Mom starvingmom.wordpress.com “I'm not telling you it's going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.” - Art Williams

Ah... I was wondering if wearing it would help the skin "bounce back" after weight loss... after my csec I wore mine about 2 months and you could barely tell I had been pregnant aside from a small pooch, and some stretch marks...

Yes the one I used was actually the one my daughter got right after her C-Section. It worked wonderfully! Did it help at all with skin?

OK... Dr sent me a new vid to watch talking about open bypass and he has a hiatal hernia, 2 incisional, and 1 umbilical hernia plus a mesh to remove... he had said possibly laprascopic but I think he's decided on open lol... still have 2 more weeks before I find out...

With you hiatal hernia repair did they do laprascopic surgery? Hope Your Day is Great, *Amber* The Starving Mom starvingmom.wordpress.com “I'm not telling you it's going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.” - Art Williams

I have been looking also, I used a post partum binder after C-section to help with skin and muscles... think it will help after rny also?
