Hi ladies,
The universe just gave me it’s highly polished F U. I am on my third day post op, and my body decided it would be a GREAT time to get my period. But not just any period. No, no of course not. It’s like the mother of all periods. Severe back pain, abdominal cramping, and super sore breasts.
Go me. This is greeeeeaasaaaaatttttt. Nothing like a period almost two weeks early to Celebrate your new beginning. It’s not like I didn’t just have all during my husband’s surgery just 2.5 weeks ago.
Anyone else hoping for early menopause?

welcome!!!

60 lbs in 4 months works for me

Well I had my surgery yesterday. VSG by Dr David Oliak. Surgery was done at Orange Coast Hospital, in Huntington Beach CA, and I’m in the ICU for a day because Severe OSA. But that’s been fine on their CPAP with my mask.

I’ve walked a few times. Last night and this morning. A little sore but really not bad. Still NPO which sucks. I’m so thirsty.

Looking forward with little trepidation for the next part of the journey.


Good look all.

It's hard to see when it's YOU but believe you me You are rocking it, slow and steady, but a definate change. If others don't they need their eyeglass lenses changed. I hope my own will start out so good, I'm. still a plump and portly princess but I still plan to be the Empress of All Things Thin after a while! And I'll let you rule with me, okay?

congratulations!!!!

So I’m unfortunately no stranger to UTIs, had a handful in my life. They were no fun pre surgery. BUT I have a UTI now (6 months post op) and I swear it’s worse somehow. And it just crept up on me. One ER visit at 2am and 2 medicines later I’ll be on the road to health again, but public service announcement—stay hydrated and all that other jazz to prevent infections, this is Miserable 😭

Congrats!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Ok. Now we’re getting into some BS level stuff. Since I was a nurse, I know what their main page of medhost means. My CT results have been reviewed for almost an entire hour and not one person has come by my room. I’m about to walk my happy butt out the the nurses. Keeping someone waiting on something as important as, oh, I don’t know.... being able to swallow anything? Is too much

Hey guys. CT scan done. 15-20 minutes to get the results. Able to keep down 3 cups of contrast/peach tea in 90 minutes after the reglan and protonix. Hoping I get scripts for those meds to take home since they worked so well!

So, down 3.2 since last week, 37 since surgery and 101.2 overall.
Another good week here. Had my 6 month oncology appt, my 6 month echo cardiogram, and have my 3 month with the surgeon tomorrow. PT is going well, and am consistently walking 1 hour per day. Feeling so much better all things considered!

These are my babies, 1st a German shepherd named Zisa, 2nd a great Pyrenees mix named Sampson and last but not least A miniature dachshund named Baby girl. They truly are a joy and make my life richer and fuller!!!
