Tomorrow Is My Day....



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I can't believe tomorrow is my band day. I am totally nervous, excited and scared all at the same time. Surgeries seem to always make me emotional, espically after saying goodbye to my daughter tonight as she is staying with her dad. :(

My new friend here will also been having her surgery right before mine with the same doctor. Hopefully, we will recover together.

So my journey is less than 24hrs away....

Hello everyone...

Surgery was great!!!! I did have a hernia repair, and the only pain so far yesterday was the shoulder area. I received a email from Dr. Curry explaining the hernia and what to expect with the shoulder pain. He said to take aleve and it would help better the the pain meds he prescribed. He was correct, I took one, sat outside almost all evening in a recliner with a heating pad. I felt great. I haven't took any pain meds yet as nothing seems to be hurting in my stomach area, which is soooooo wonderful. Dr. Curry and his staff were wonderful. Today, I can start some purée foods and wil look into some Atkins recipes. I figured out on the pre op diet with very little carb intake that my stomach shrunk and I never felt bloated like I do when I eat carbs.

The other thing, I haven't experienced any gas pains or burping from the air filled belly. Today, my stomach is sore but just a bit swollen but no more air tightness or bloated. Got lucky on that one I guess...

I saw my friend from here in the recovery room and it seems all went great with her too.

Thank you all......

Mows lets get busy losing some weight :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
