October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

Hey all please send up some good thoughts and prayers.

My wife and are are in a temporary marriage separation after 22 years together. (I have hope this will pass and believe I am doing my part to reconcile) I am staying with a friend for now. I have no plans of delaying my Oct 8 th date even if I am not at home, but will recover alone because my friend is gone a great deal of the time. Had preop this am at hospital, down 18 lbs and I just have to stick to this no carb diet 12 more days.

After surgery, I have two weeks off of work. I am an RN so I think I can make good post op decisions... My wife may or may not meet me the morning of surgery. Another friend can take me, but then he has to leave for work, of course, I could just drive myself perhaps. Thought I'd just tell my Doc the wife had to stay at home with the kids.

I have three daughters, miss them a lot.

Help me see this clearly.

Thanks

Chad

9 days for me. Pre op diet sucks.

Preparing: clean my house. Pick out 3 days of school clothes for my 4 kids at home, cook and freeze 3-5 dinners for the family. Do ALL the laundry (mountains of it)

Costume: i dunno about that... But I plan to be healthy and Svelt when I go watch my son get his graduate degree from the International Film School in Cuba, my hubby on my arm .my son's dad (who would always put me down because of my weight) and his skinny new wife will be there as well. Hehe

Just Do It!!!

The ex and skinny wife seeing the slender, healthy you....now THAT will be a GREAT NSV! :)

How is everyone feeling?!? We are so close! My nerves are getting me and finding it hard to concentrate at work. I have so much to do before I am off for a couple of weeks. How did your pre-op go? I am pretty much used to mine at this moment. I have found the only think I am craving is MEAT!!!! However, I have had dreams of Apple Pie, which is weird because it is not my favorite thing, MM's and Pizza! I never thougth I could/would dream of food.< /p>

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

      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! 😞
