Slimming Down Steve

Well there's a update for y'all. My mother showed up at my house after not being able to call me. She's blocked. She profusely apologized over and over again for being a bi#ch about my surgery. She said she is jealous and can't help it. She said she still wants me in her life. I asked her, what for? She said she was sorry for saying she should of aborted me and would like to work our problems out. I told she needs to work her problems out as I'm just fine without her. She asked me to unblock her and I told her I will call her if I ever need to. I told her not to hold her breath. And then she left. I don't know if I should take her seriously, or did she just wanted to see my weight right now since she hasn't seen me in a little over a year. Either way I didn't invite her in my house.

It's kinda weird that my mother who has been at my Aunt's house in Knoxville Tennessee. (around 65 miles away from me) She arrived 2 days before Thanksgiving. I asked her if she wanted to come eat with us around 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. She tried everyway she could for me not to have RNY Bariatric surgery. Needless to say that's why she never showed up for Thanksgiving. She is still at my Aunt's house and sent me a text. I am informing you that I will no longer be communicating with you. I hate you and maybe I can come to terms that my son is already thinner than me. Your a bastard. Signed your no longer mother. Go f**k yourself.

My wife and neighbor just blocked her on FB and phones. I blocked both of her numbers and then deleted them also. The numbers are still showing blocked.

I would like to to thank everyone who has responded so far and who may still respond! This is a great community of everyday people who have come together to better themselves. We all carry emotional baggage we have to work through. I would like to put this to bed once and for good. I sent a certified letter to my mother Stating that is is not my family and never really has been except through blood. That I am going on with my life, that she has no rights to me or anything I own, she isn't welcome at my home or on my property, and further more she is not to ever contact me through the USPS, UPS, FedEx, or any other carriers. Is not to try to contact my by phone, VOIP, or any other digital means. Have fun in your life, cause I know I will. Then I printed my name, signed my name and dated the letter. Went out to the post office and sent it certified mail yesterday afternoon.

As long as buying all the different vitamins isn't breaking the bank and your labs are good then what the hell keep up what works. As I said I'm not a professional. Hope you and everyone else a good day or night.

Thank you all for your responses. As with everything else, the surgeons are just winging it. No set procedures evidently.

Well it's been a great chatting with everyone. I appreciate all the answers I've received on here. I decided a couple of days ago that I personally think that I have nothing to offer anyone on this site or any other site so I decided my time was limited on here. I figured that I would wait till after my first follow up appointment, announce what happened in the office visit and the tell everyone goodbye. So goodbye y'all. I wish everyone gets to the weight goals that your shooting for. Adios.

Anyone else LOVING the tension building here between Steve and Mikey? I am proposing a steel cage match for them to settle their differences.
But in more serious matter 6oz of Chili at 3 weeks sounds like a ton of food. That's roughly what I have now at 9 months and would be quite filling.

Protein is first. Can't stand olives or Olive oils, so I use canola oil minimally in spray form. I do use some butter substitute for flavor from time to time, but never have been a butter nut like my wife. If she could, butter would be slathered on everything. As far as carbs go, vegetables I'll eat after Proteins if room allows. Only other carbs come from oatmeal 1 to 2 times a week. I don't eat breads, pastas, rice (except once had a taste of brown rice 1/4 teaspoon to see if my pouch could handle it). No processed carbs in other words. I'm already lighter than when I married my wife just about 20 years ago. My surgeon said I'm doing great, I feel great as well. Hope everyone is doing great on here!

My wife said she is making some air fried turkey smoked sausage cut in 3/8" thick sections, cut up sweet potato, brussel sprouts, onions, carrots, drizzled on melted Country Crock light margarine and lightly sprayed canola oil. One of my favorites. My wife Betty is a sweet woman!

Still need to keep an eye on calories and Protein and fat and carbs...

And personally I prefer the restriction
I'll be 3 months out in a week and I'm still only eating max 3oz tuna at a time or a few slices of ham or 4oz yoghurt; there are still things that come back up...
I'm in no hurry to eat big portions; the whole idea of surgery is to limit your portions.
So I say you've got a double edged sword mate.
Hopefully your weight loss doesn't get affected from all your intake...
Also Jerky is very salty...

I am still ok from the chili earlier nothing except for a couple of good farts already. So I'm going to eat another few ounces of the chili around 4:00 CST.

You take the same as me except my Multivitamin (Pro care brand) has a lot of B12 and my blood test come back high so I guess I am absorbing it thru the pill. I know some people post bypass don't absorb it and have to take it via a shot.

AS LONG AS IT ISN'T SUGARS, FATS OR PROCESSED CARBS. I'm cleared to eat what I want. He said he still cannot believe that at 10 days out I was able to eat 4oz of air fried salmon. He said that beef Jerky usually is hard to handle at 2 months. I have been snacking on beef jerky and peanuts since around 15 days out. I was 225 fully dressed with my jacket, knife, smartphone, change, and wallet when I was weighed. The Nurse said; there was no need to remove anything since she couldn't believe the difference since my surgery. My surgeon asked about how I'm doing with my meds, Proteins and fluids, I told him all's good. He looked at my incisions and said I'm healing really fast. So he cleared me to eat my way because it's working. I have my next appointment on February 24th.

I had some x-rays at my doctors office. Everything still looks fine with my back. I'm not worried about my weight or my mother. I had the surgery for me. I didn't want to loose a foot or leg due to diabetes 2, and to be around long enough for my wife. She said (kidding) that till the bills are paid off I can't die! My mother can go take a leap off of a high bridge with hardened concrete around her feet. I am in a good place about my life without her messing around with my wife or my emotions. I cut the strings to the puppet master and don't plan on being restrung up anytime soon.

The ER nurse said my blood pressure was low, and that was a good thing she said with my brain swelling. I'm feeling a lot better now with whatever they put in the IV for the swelling. I was told not to sleep for another couple of hours yet. I'm definitely ready to sleep. Thank y'all for your concerns. Be careful. My shoulder still is throbbing. Betty said I fell like tree being cut down. I evidently didn't try to brace for the fall at all. I have rods, screws, and the back of the spine removed from my lower back, so it's really a scary thought of passing out cold and falling.

Ended up going to the ER last night. My right ear was bleeding. They ran a MRI and I had some brain swelling but not bad. The nurse put something in my IV to reduce the swelling and they released me around an hour ago. Really tired now.
