August 2013 Roll Call



Recommended Posts

You're not allowed anything to drink for the first day and your lips do get a but dry. I found myself rinsing out my mouth with Water to wet it' date=' and then applying Chapstick to keep from feeling so dry (well EOS in my case since Chapstick with its menthol is really not good dr you, but you get the point).[/quote']

Oh good point! Glad I asked that's going on my packing list for this week!! Thank you

Today is my first day post-op and really I am totally ready to leave. Wish we could have been back in our own comfy home and bed. But since I'm barely able to drink Water without it feeling "weird" it's probably good to be here and be allowed to ease into things.

I too wondered if we'd need care taking, but really we don't. We are up and about, walking, getting things for ourselves etc. I've been in much worse shape with just a fever than I am now with respect to taking care of myself. If you want to have someone come visit for a few hours just for the company, go for it, but you won't really need anything you can't get for yourself.

I'm glad you two are doing so well ! Thank you for your insight, I feel better now. I'm going to a dedicated facility that specializes in weight loss surgery and I heard my surgeon is one of the best. I just didn't know what to expect so thanks again. I heard that rocking in a rocking chair even helps with getting the gas out. Please check in tomorrow so we know how you guys are doing! hugs xxx Jeanie

Looked at my surgery countdown earlier. I can't believe in just over 3 weeks (the 27th) that I'm having surgery. Eeeek. I went low carb today, start pre op diet on the 17th. I just wanted a jump start on things. Absolutely can't wait. I am excited, nervous, and terrified all at once.

One more thing I wish I'd brought was a trial size bottle of mild mouthwash. Where it's the ketosis or just generally surgery blahs, I could have used a mouth freshner from time to time.

      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!!

      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
