Recommended Posts

Surgery on 8/19, weight date of surgery 208, (lost 11 during 2 week diet), today's weight 196. Feeling pretty normal, focusing on H20, Protein (mostly liquid form), and incorporating mooshy foods as I can. And supplements, just switched Calcium from Sweet Indulgence (dark chocolate bar) to Bariatric Advantage (6 chews a day). I chose raspberry and lemon).

Exercise is not as vigorous as I believe I should be. Been walking, but not vigorously. I've done weights a little :)

I was kept in the hospital for 2 nights and 3 days. When I got home from the hospital I Weighed 5 lbs more then when I went in. My blood pressure was out of control and nausea was terrible. I threw up one time at the hospital and felt so much better after that, it was the scariest thing I've experienced.

Tonight I'm going out with my husband and our church friends...looking forward to getting dolled up :)

Blessings to all! Wanted to share a little...

Hey everyone. I am really feeling good Thursday will be two weeks and I go to the doc on Wednesday. I seem to be down from sw 306 and cw 295 but starting weight was 320 so I am feeling better about my decision since the gas is gone and I can take in more. I am back at work today and very happy about it, need to get away from my house. I have to figure out how to work my food for the day since my schedule is so crazy working 12-8pm. I don't want to eat that late at night but may have to in order to make sure my meals are spaced out. Has anyone set up a schedule for themselves to make sur you are eating enough?

It's only a day difference... Most places don't do surgery on a Sunday

True. Im in the UK and alot of surgeons here work for the NHS during the week and privately at weekends. As a self pay patient I was scheduled for a Sunday.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
