Ho Hum Tonight



Recommended Posts

I just found out I was approved for surgery late Friday afternoon in the midst of running errands, projects and family stuff.

Never had that OMG can't believe it. I have told a few friends, family. No one today to share where I am with this, so I came here.

Not sure why I feel alone in this journey tonight.

I did battle a cold this weekend. But just feeling blah.

Trying to figure out how to rebuild my energy for my preop diet, planning for my new life.

Once I confirm time off for this at work I will feel better.

Glad I have u guys, and I am not alone. My wife is very supportive, but does not get all of this.... All the time.

I found out the same day Chad :) I'm shooting for a Sept 10 date. My hubby don't really doesn't understand either and I think he knows I'm going to do it regardless. This site has been sooooo helpful for me. Not so much for advice on what to eat- when etc as I will follow doctors orders to the T. But it's about the journey itself. Congratulations on your approval- be proud and excited! You've reached the next step :)

Hee Hee- seriously! You're APPROVED. Now schedule your day for sept 10 (my way of keeping my anxiety down as I'll be a basket case the moment I walk in). So if to be unselfish- you and the rest of the September peeps should rearrange schedules to me MY needs ;).

Hahah- JK

Yep positive thoughts. Nothing but optimistic and positive thinking.

You rock!

Oooh that's a month away. Do u know what your doc requires for pre op?

Two weeks, no carb meals, a shake once a day. Heathly meals before that.... Six weeks. He did not give me a number to loose. I think I gained a few this past month. Time to be all in, now. I have a month instead of eight weeks. Little nervous about that.

Wow that seems like a lot! I see the doc next Tuesday but I'm hearing he doesn't require much of a pre op. Weird how docs are different. I wish she would- without her telling me I "have" to- I'm not likely to stick to anything.

Hence- the need for this tool. Best of luck in the next few weeks :)

My focus has been more on completing insurance requirements. But did not need a six month plan for it.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
