Recommended Posts

Just paid the rest of my balance! Everything is a goooooo.

Also just found out that my friend and I don't check into the Marriott in Tijuana until 3 pm and we get to San Diego a few hours before so we're going to make a mini vacation out of it and go see the zoo. Never been to San Diego so this will be fun!

Oh boy, that zoo is gigantic and expensive, and there is a lot to see if you have just a couple of hours. Pretty exhausting too. maybe you could rent four wheeled scooters ( electric convenience vehicles) at the entrance. You might check that check that out. GOOD LUCK WITH SURGERY!

My hubby ate a salad with me and it seemed like I needed 3 more salads. I need to drink more Water and I only drank 1/2 of one Protein Shake. I will ask the doc if I can have yogurt. It feels like a food monster is crawling out of my stomach. Lol!

The pre op liquid diet does get better. My surgery is scheduled for Sept 12. Tomorrow will be 1 week down of this diet. Day 4 was a bit hard because I was just so ready to chew my food. But the last few days have been really good. I space my Protein out through out the day drink my last one around 530-6pm when cooking dinner for everyone. Then I just drink drink drink Water plain or flavored till I'm about to pop. During the day I've been chewing a lot of gum as well. Hang in there guys it's all worth it in the end.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
