Whos in September? We need some September buddies!



Recommended Posts

for great recipe ideas I look at pinterest. Love to get inspiration there. Try adding Beans in salads and almost anything you make otherwise. Lentils, kidney, chick peas. Hummus is a great snack. I also bought a bullet to make shakes and throw in ground flaxseed, Protein powder and you can get Peanut Butter powder to throw in too.

I've been pretty hungry the last couple of days. Today I've been feeling like its hard to focus on things and I hope to be starting full liquids soon. I still have pain In the right side of my stomach and I don't know why. I have a doctors apt on the 10th. I have problems drinking Water or anything I don't know why but it's very unappealing to me. I hope to recover fully and can't wait to start my new life. I've lost 35 pounds since the beginning of my liquid diet!

I was sleeved Sept 29th and went home 3 hrs after surgery. I'm healing well and the only pain I get is on my left side. Its bearable and annoying. I have lost 28lbs sine the beginning of preop. The past few days I have felt hungry, but I just try to think of the good things to come. I have until 10-20 before I can move on to pureed foods. ????

@@Jbramwell, I went through True Results with Dr. Nicholson at Baylor Surgicare. I have no pain except that pull they say we experience every now and again. I must have a high pain tolerance because as soon as I woke up they had me walking. I would say my surgery pain subsided by Wednesday of that week. I returned to work a week later. I have a desk job and my coworker was scheduled to have her surgery the day I got back. It's been really good. Today I went to the movies, and I was able to sit comfortably in the chair without raising an arm rest. It felt really really good.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
