July 1st'ers -- Only One More Week To Go!



Recommended Posts

I have my final surgeon's appointment in two hours--first, I need to go to my bank and find out if they'll let me refinance my house as part of my divorce proceedings, to get my ex off of the deed so I can own the home free and clear, or if they'll deny me and I'll have to sell my kids' childhood home. Meh.

The good news is that in two hours I'll be at the doctor's office, focusing on positive changes for ME!

I had my pre-op appointment at the hospital today. It went smoothly other than having 2 kids in tow and the 3 year old spilling her Water on the chair in the exam room. Luckily, the nurse has a 16 year old and a 7 month old, so she understood. There is one new thing I'm nervous about. They gave me a special soap to wash with 3 times prior to the surgery to make sure my skin is as clean as possible. However, I have three boils where my waistband and bra are that become inflamed with the heat. The nurse told me to call the doctor to make sure they wouldn't be an issue. I spoke to the nurse at the doctor's office and he said to call back tomorrow to tell him how they are. 2 have drained and will be healed by Monday, but I have one that may not have fully healed by then. Fingers crossed that it won't be an issue that causes a delay - I've been on the liquid diet since the Monday after Father's day and my niece is flying in on Friday to take care of my 3 year old (the older two will be at overnight camp all next week, which is why I scheduled it for the 1st).

      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! 😞
