MRSKOUBiK replied to Raine's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
love it! -
finally got around to submitting my patient story to my surgeon's team.
If it was up to me I would of waited until I met goal instead of submitting while I'm a work in progress! But, only 29 pounds until I hit GOAL! -
Surgeon Said Gastic Bypass was my Best Option
MRSKOUBiK replied to Catracks's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Go with what YOU want. it's YOUR body. I am just now 9 months, I've lost 70 percent of my excess weight. My surgeon said I am above the curve. That I'm where most people are at 12 months post op... -
is it gallbladder pain?
MRSKOUBiK replied to Sassygirl06's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Everyone has different symptoms... I suggest going to your doctor. It's just a simple scan to find out if it IS your gallbladder.. then you can figure things out from there. -
I had mine out a few months post op. I'm guessing from losing a lot of weight it caused it to go bad. It wasn't too bad. The sleeve was my first surgery, the gallbladder my second. It did stink that my first surgery caused my second. But, at the same time I'm happy enough with my weight loss that it was STILL Worth it. Plus, I don't need that stinkin' gallbladder anyway. Especially since in my family the women have issues with theirs already. So not having it anymore relives the stress of wondering when it'll go bad or whatever.

I am trying it today. i haven't dyed my hair since February and even then I got high lights. So i'm attempting to cover them up so I won't have to dye my hair for another few months. i'm a little nervous because my hair has thinned so much =/

one of my newer students (who has only seen me as I am now) was giving me a hard time about eating some candy claiming I should eat healthier! I was telling him that I DO eat better than I used to. Explaining that I don't drink soda, limit the candy/salt intake, etc. I showed him an old school photo of me, and he couldn't believe it was me. He kept looking at the picture, looking at me... and vice versa. Finally he said "That IS you I can tell with your eyes! Wow, You REAL...

I tried adding everyone but apparently you can only add up to 5 friends in a 10 minute period! LOL! ADD ME! JKoubik! I'm trying to food log SO badly! thinking with other sleeve friends I'd do better: ) -
I wasn't given a set amount of weight to lose before surgery. I did two weeks of liquids/raw veggies. I managed to lose 25 pounds in those two weeks.

tubes and drains and catheters OH MY &^%$
MRSKOUBiK replied to geminhi's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ask your surgeon. I was freaked out about all of the above also. But, I didn't have a drain OR catheter! good luck -
I just hit the jackpot!
MRSKOUBiK replied to HDubSleevery's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a huge problem with Protein too! I found I can tolerate Premier Protein shakes from costco IF they're cold AND I use a straw. I know they say NOT to use a straw. But, I decided getting my protein in was more important than following that rule. OTher than protein shakes I do not use a straw. good luck. -
had a great first day back with the kids. I walked into a classroom and one of my students who I haven't seen since June was SHOCKED! He stated loudly OMG! And, the entire class was looking at me. Later on he was trying to hint around and ask questions.. I told him as long as we talked appropriately, we could discuss...

has learned that she GREATLY benefits from a routine. Because of that she is looking forward to returning to work. However, the last two days have been closed due to Irene... =/

Breakfast Casserole: High protein, low carb!
MRSKOUBiK replied to Virginia S's topic in Soft (stage 3)
Thanks for sharing this! I made it last night so I could try it this morning for breakfast! Hubby tried it and LOVED it.... I have yet to try it! But, looks yummy. I couldn't find the right size pan so I ended up making them into muffins with a cupcake pin & tins. -

I met my first goal today
MRSKOUBiK replied to Oopsseedaisy's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Awesome! Way to go! But, now it's time to update your siggy! -
ended up going on vacation for a few days... was afraid I'd gain weight since I really didn't make the best food choices. But, it looks like I'm still down a pound or two.

I just talked to my surgeon's office today. It looks like as long as I get done my nutritionist appointments and have my psych eval by the end of October, I should be able to have surgery in December! I specifically asked to have it then because I work at a school. I think it would be better to use my given time off, instead of just picking random times off. I'd rather have it before the New year. Big changes for the new year :rolleyes2: And, lastly. I could easily wait until April for Spring Break.. but with the expected nicer weather I'd rather not. Not to mention having to wait EVEN longer The wait now is killing me. Anyway... anyone ?!?! lol

is bummed.
Had to decide if she should go on vacation like planned, or stay home to recover. Unfortunately, I think staying home is the best idea right now! Boo!
