Frustrated and need to vent......



Recommended Posts

Is it just me, or with each avatar change, does Tiff just keep getting cuter and cuter?! I am loving the hair.

Thanks Susan. . .

I got carded the other day for cigarettes. It was amazing. Here in Florida, if you look under 25 or 27 they are supposed to card you. I almost flipped out when the woman "said you that can't be you in the picture". I told her it was me plus 70lbs, and we both had a good giggle.

That is awesome. I am in Florida, but haven't been carded in at least ten years. I wish someone would do it just to humor me!

Shanda-

We're all praying for you. I think your pre-op diet just messed up your biochemistry. I BELIEVE YOU ARE GOING TO GET YOUR VERTICAL SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE VERY HAPPY WITH IT!!!

Tiffy - Woo Hoo your hubby is going to go wild when he sees you! :001_tt2:

Thank You so much Oregon Rose. They say when two or more are on one accord things happen, in our favor. I believe that what you said will be true as well.

I agree Susan, Tiff just gets cuter all the time.

Makes me wonder what I will look like when I lose 130 lbs. I remember thinking I was fat as a highschooler...although I only weighed 145 lbs at 5 ft 7 1/2. That was actually an ideal body weight for my height. It may take me a while to get adjusted to looking "normal", and REALLY believing it.

Soon to be sleeved......

Shanda when will you know if your shots are working and whether or not you'll be able to move forward with the sleeve?

Hi Daisy,

Shanda I will add you to my prayer list and hope it all settles down before Sept 15. My surgery date is Sept 21 so we will be going through this together.

Don't get too discouraged- I believe things will work out

Hi everyone.....

GUESS WHAT?? Im being sleeved tommorrow! My PT went into perfect range! My INR was about 1 or 2 pts off but it was nothing of concern. The surgery will procedure and they will just monitor my labs afterwards!! I check in tommorrow morning at 6am. I am praying for a safe, uneventful surgery as well as complication free! Please internet touch and agree with me on that if you believe in prayer!

Thank You all, see you on the other side of being sleeved!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
