Looking For Dec Sleevers Out There



Recommended Posts

Thanks deeriggs, where are u from, I'm from nj. I see my surgeon tomorrow hopefully he will tell me how long I will be out of work, I fell like I don't want to go bk n have to deal with the negativity or the tension of sitting in the office under my boss everyday.

I am in TN. My doctor said 2 weeks minimum however, I work for the government and my boss is a Chaplain in the Army so I am off the whole month of December. You definitely shouldn't have to deal with the negativity. I think your boss is just jealous because you are taking the steps that you need to to get healthy. :)

I just did my pre-op yesterday too! I hope I'm still cleared for surgery! Seemed like everything went ok... I also start my liquid diet on Monday. My surgery is two weeks later on Monday the 17th. How did your pre-op go? Is your surgeon going to notify you about the results?

Just prayed for you that God takes control of the situation and that your stress level stays down will continue to pray ! Good Luck with everything and God Bless

Thanks! I appreciate it. We are overwhelmed with all the stuff to deal with the lay off, decisions to make, and in the middle of all this- getting ready for my surgery. Days he was going to take off to run errands, he is now in meetings with HR and I am figuring out what medications to refill while we still have coverage. All this time I was going to be getting ready for surgery. I am trying to take moments to be still and just focus on God.

      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!!
