November Dates



Recommended Posts

I've been told by others at support group that weeks 3-6 you can get really tired. After that you get an energy blast. I'm getting close to 80g of Protein a day and all my Vitamins. I'm do for my B12injection but had to push check up a week. So I hope that helps.

Yes it did thank u;)

Ty;)Well had my surgery the 29th. No complications thank god! It was difficult when I came home sunday getting comfortable;( but thankfully i have a great support system who took my kiddos until tuesday and i had time to rest. Finally off pain meds and sipping down liquids not sick at all and started my pureed food today and had my one week post op appointment lost 16 lbs since the day i cheaked in the hospital! So far just worried about my protien and sipping is quite aggravating bc im thirsty not really hungry and when i sip too much it gets tight where the pouch is. Im hoping it will go away soon. The dr said i was recovering great and my inscsions look good. They still are sore and hurt making it uncomfortable to sleep;( im also fatigued at times anyone else get tired so easy all i did was go grocery shopping:( n im pooped;) please add me november dates;) id love to get to know u all:) xoxo anna

Tired and sore, also. Largely because I am only on liquids. Yet I have regained some strength, but the soreness is still there. My surgery was the 27th, and I can't boast the large weight loss yet, but I have lost 12lb, my problem is I have had a very lengthily surgery , that took about 4 hours to do. So I'm still recovering from that alone. Things have gotten better, again, my fatigue is from only being on liquids. In two weeks, I will be eating soft foods, but only at one meal. I still have to have the shakes twice a day, and manage to get in 64 ounces of Water a day. Right now, all I can do is try, try try. SMILE.

I'm at five weeks today and have hit a plateau at 36 lbs down. Any suggestions on how to jump start the weight loss again? Walking at least a mile a day or more. Eating right.....

Maybe incorporate liquids back in a few days a week

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
