    Sometimes the scale keeps you on track!

    I haven’t posted in a while. Life gets in the way! I had my surgery October 16th. I had my three month follow up with my doctor last week. He was very pleased with my progress. I’m down 56 pounds since October 2 when I started the liver shrinking diet and 43 pounds since the surgery.
    Here are some of the amazing things that have happened to me (besides my weight loss):
    I’ve lost 26 inches all over my body
    My old clothes fit me now. In fact some of my size 16 are big!
    I can fit into some XL’s!
    But probably the most amazing change is that life has been very stressful lately, dealing with two sick parents who live far away. I’ve traveled several times to visit them in the past month and the old me would’ve turned to food to help me cope but I haven’t! I feel so much more capable of dealing with my stress because of all of the work I did beforehand. I’ve realized that food is not that important and that I’m not going to let it derail all of the work I’ve done!
    I hope you’re all doing well and feeling great!

    I like the Think Thin Protein Bars. I think they only have 20g of protein but they taste like a treat and they’re low in sugar. I also like the Premier Protein bars.

    I took a couple of dulcolax and they help but now I’ve started eating two prunes a day and that seems to help better! The dulcolax takes some time to work. Good luck! I know it’s so painful!

    For starters let me say, wow on your weight loss! You’re doing great!
    I know for me, I’ve been so stuck on that number on the scale for so long it’s hard to sometimes realize the other fantastic changes going on. For example, dropping clothing sizes, being able to walk upstairs without being totally out of breath and losing inches. Everyone stalls, especially when you start eating solid food again. Put the scale away and focus on all of the other positive things!

    Wow that’s exciting! You’ll do great! I third what everyone’s saying about not taking much to the hospital! Get some clear Protein Drinks for afterwards because you’ll be sick of the super sweet and milky ones!
    Good luck!

    You came to the right place! I understand your concerns but no matter how you lose weight, you may have excess skin.
    Let me mention I’m 6 weeks post op having the sleeve done. I’ve lost 25 pounds since the surgery and 15 inches on my whole body. The only nausea I had was right after the surgery from the anesthesia. The first few weeks went by fast. I just kept reminding myself it won’t last forever. I was able to eat a little bit of everything on thanksgiving. I don’t feel deprived because I am the one who chose to do this. After years of not succeeding on traditional diets, I decided this was what I wanted to do. I’m 44 and felt like this was the right time. I have an extremely supportive husband and friends who have all been cheering me on along the way.
    The bottom line is you need to be ready. You and only you can choose this decision for yourself! Good luck to you!

    I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve heard that you do become very fertile but most surgeons warn against getting pregnant in the first year. I’d definitely talk to your surgeon about it. Best of luck to you!

    What an awesome birthday gift to give yourself! Don’t stress to much about the Fluid. As long as you’re drinking what you can and peeing, I wouldn’t worry. It’ll get easier to drink. Good luck to you!
