December 2012 Post Op Group

[simplysammi 134]

Hello ladies and gents. I haven't posted in the group in awhile. But I've been reading still. I've just been busy with work! I can not lose these 5 pounds. I want to be under 200 and the last 5 are killing me.

On another note I am doing good! Still haven't had any issues with dumping or nausea or anything but I don't eat anything over 5 grams of sugar. Gen I have a hard time with solid meats too but can eat more of other foods.

liquid is still a pain and I haven't touched a Protein Drink since before surgery. I need help with Vitamins. I'm not taking any. I want to know if someone can share what they take,brand an when they take it. Hair loss is happening a little bit.

Still sad and bitter over being single lol. I just want someone to talk to and like me for me.

How are y'all?

that dress is ADORABLE!! Love the color!

I had my 3 month appointment Friday. I'm down 60lbs' date=' I feel good for the most part. I still have a lot of nausea and carry zofran with me at all times. I don't enjoy eating at all. Which I guess isn't a bad thing. I have difficulty getting my Protein in since I don't eat. I know I have to so usually drink Protein Drinks. Which my nutritionist said yesterday wasn't ideal but however I have to get it. I did my 1st 5k and had a blast. Already signed up for another![/quote']

You look great. My Nut said basically the same thing about protein drinks. She said she has people 5+ years out that drinks a Protein Shake every morning because they were never Breakfast eaters. So they have a shake instead. I never was a breakfast eater either, so I will probably be one of those protein drinkers. I have 1 a day. Depending how my day went possibly 2 but that's rare.

Everyone is doing such a great job! I keep reminding myself that it went on over time and will come off with the work. I am so happy to have this tool. I go for my 3 month apt. tomorrow. Any questions you want me to ask? I walked three miles of beach today. A few months ago fifteen minutes killed me.

[shaunda 122]

I am following the plan. But I cannot get motivated to work out. The doctor is gonna get me.

[ready2smile 138]

I seem to be able to eat only 2 oz of meat and then I'm full. I am really curious as to' date=' is this the norm? How much meat can you all eat before full. It doesn't leave room for anything else.

Gen :-) 12/15/12[/quote']

Meat fills me up fastest as well. Can hardly eat any these days, even chicken-which I never had issues with before. Definitely know limits; and I'm so thankful for it because lately I've been a bit of a bad girl by testing things, so learning I have them is good news. Reminds me to get my butt back on track.

You look great! Love the boots, that's so my style. I'm a lot like you, have a hard time with protein, Water and vitamins. Can't eat much meat, or stomach the protein drinks so I need to find something before I start stalling and losing hair. Ran out of my Flintstones vitamins and went without for two weeks trying to decide what to buy so I went back to them. Taste chalky but they have what I need and they're approved by my surgeon. I'm terribly indecisive.

I know what you mean, I have a hard time with exercise too. I started slow, taking 10 minute walks and increased my time to 20-30 mins. then I went most of last week without going on my walks, felt guilty. Decided to take my sneakers, a t-shirt and yoga pants with me to work today. No excuse not to go down to the gym in the basement before leaving for home. Got in 20 mins on the treadmill and 15 on the bike-wasn't much but it got my booty off the couch.

I was seen today at the center. I am down 65 pounds since surgery and 80 since preop. I can't wait to someday hit "Onederland". I asked about sugar alcohols and milk intolerance. The dietician said to stick with Protein Bars with less than 10 grams sugar alcohol. She suggested low cal. Soy milk or try Lactaid. I picked up a book called Eat It Up they suggest would be a good read. The center is doing a book group. About being one year out and real life choices to maintain.

I get to have some fasting labs done tomorrow. They asked my why did I choose to have bariatric surgery? I thought was odd at a 3 month post op visit. She stressed always eat Protein first, veggies then fruit if still hungry. Stop when full. Push fluids. Water, water, water. Ugh....

Congrats on the awesome weight loss! I too cannot wait for onederland! 37 lbs to go! Keep up the hard work!

[one4ozzie 434]

Got my fasting lab results for my 3 mo appt. I was totally surprised. When I went back in the hospital after the second surgery, I was deficient on Calcium and a couple other things. Test came back great. Not deficient in anything, yippee. I asked the Dr are you sure. Lol. I'm losing some hair. Can't be due to lack of Protein. I think it is the two major surgery's and the stress from ex. I was a dependent housewife for 22 years following him around due to the military. He was / is my income or a big part of it.

Now my drama to unload:-( My ex stopped making spousal support payments, April 1 will be 3 months x 891 (what an ass). He is back due on child support by 5800 (darn deadbeat). He retires from the Air Force April 4th and his command won't do a damn thing about it. So a week ago Monday I contacted my Congressman's office and they initiated a congressional inquiry on it. He is going to learn he can't mess w me or I'll call big dogs out on him. I told him before that if you try to fool with someone make sure you're smarter than they are cuz he definitely is not. So the congressman's office was going straight to the big office of military pay called DFAS. Keep your fingers crossed for me that everything goes my way and he loses his pay and it heads my way.

On a good note, he is going to be charged with contempt of court for the spousal and child support when we go to court to finalize this whole mess. He will also be charged w contempt of court for stealing my daughters and my belongings and hiding them from us (what a prick huh)!!! He won't even discuss who gets what on the judgement so keep your fingers crossed that when we go to court that 1. He doesn't show up cuz I don't want to end up in jail trying to kick his ass, lol 2. The judge gives me the judgement as I want it for ex being an ass during the process.

Oh yeah. Dumb butt has to pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life @ 350-400/month on top of my alimony because he told the judge I don't deserve it and he got his divorce in Louisiana 3 months before I would receive insurance for free without cost to him if he would have just let MI do there thing. But his Ho gave him an ultimatum to file by Oct 1 or he's out. So he ended up telling the judge that he won't drop the LA divorce so I could have my insurance. I think he thought my lawyer was joking when he said to the judge that he will have to pay the 400 a month for me to be covered, ha ha ha. Why do some people have to be do dumb???

He needs someone to give him a taste of his own medicine! And like Janice said, he is a PRICK! Here's hoping you get his pay and the money you deserve.
