August 2013 Roll Call



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 8/16. I was super nervous but it will be over before you know it. My husband and I actually joked that it was pretty anticlimactic after all this build up. the dr gave me something to relax, and then next thing i know i woke up in my room. i was a little nauseous but they gave me meds for that asap and then i was nodding in an out like a heroin addict. it really was a lot less bad than i expected, especially after reading the complications board non-stop.

Hey my husband and I were talking about that type of scale, if u don't mind me asking but what is the cost of that type of scale???

I got the Withings Wireless Scale WS-30 from Amazon. It's more expensive but it syncs wirelessly with my iPhone & iPads & an online account.

Ok so I went for my last appointment and meet with everyone and found out that I have lost 14 pounds since my last visit. I was really excited that I lost some weight considering I have been watching my food intake for the past 19 days. I am now starting my pre-op diet and it just a low carb, high Protein so I get to have 2 weight watchers meals, 1 Protein Drink, 2 cups of dairy, 1/2 cup fruit, 1 cup vegetable and 8 cups of Water. So its about 800-1000 calories a day and 60-100 grams of protein. I am so worried that I will not be able to get all the protein in because I start this diet today and I cant pick up my Protein Shakes til Wednesday so I guess it will be ok if I do the other stuff until that day. I just want to day that I have blood work done today and they took like 12 tubes of blood, I mean that is alot and I was really light headed after that. I love my hospital but the hospital food in the food court is expensive. Me and hubby had a chicken salad, chicken strips, onion rings and a cranberry juice and it was 17 dollars. That is way over the top and my hubby was really upset about it. So, I told him when he stays the night with me he better pack a lunch. lol. I am really excited now that I am coming really close to the day and nervous because its really coming close to the day. They gave my group samples of Unjury Chicken Soup and vanilla mix. I am going to try them out and see how it work and may buy some to have on hand. So its 10 days and counting and I cant wait.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
