Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call

I have Kaiser and I just had my first labs done. Kaiser doctors had not sent me any notifications.

After reading that my fellow Kaiser Sleeve Sisters have already had labs I emailed my Endocrinologist and she set up my fasting labs.

So far' date=' all my labs have been great!![/quote']

The scheduled my appointment when I went in for my 2 week post op appoint.

I'm kind of nervous for tomorrows appointment. I have to admit I have been bad, I haven't been taking all my Vitamins nor have I been eating or drinking all my Protein. I can't even get all my Water in.

Ugh! Wish me luck.

Well I went to my 3 month appointment and I feel it was a waste of my 2 hours. There was a large group of people and the nutritionist went over everything we had discussed pre-op. Didn't have blood work until 6 months post op. Ugh! Pretty upset I was hoping I get some help with my eating options but now I have to call to set up an appointment with them. I think I've mentioned this before but I really don't like the nutritionist that I was assigned. If I get her I will request for a different one.

Hope everyone is well.

Thanks. Yea Kaiser So. San Francisco.

Is that playa vista near marina del Rey? If so I used to go to that Kaiser before moving north.

I was very disappointed. I'm going to call my dr. To have her order labs for me.

LET THE hair FALLING OUT BEGIN!!!

OMG, i noticed it a little here and there at first and then this week a little more. This morning I could not believe how much I pulled out while shampooing/conditioning. I am pretty convinced its from a lack of Protein. I am going to up the protein as of today and hope I can reverse some of the damage. Anyone else??

Parker how much Protein do you get a day and how far out are you?

I'm watching everyday for it to start. I'll be 3 months on the 12th. I've mostly it's happening when shampooing. I started just softly rubbing the Shampoo and conditioner in without scrubbing my scalp. Not sure if it'll help me or not. I'm so not looking forward to it.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
