Fabulous February!

I know that c-section pain. I had two-one emergency. One day really soon you will wake up and zip- pain is gone. Meditating and relaxing helped me.

Thanks Sassy I had just bought mediation DVD and some books, I'm relaxing too.. I just feel like an invalid, and want to cry when I stand up I have to hold my fat roll up against my stomach so I can walk !

Btb yes they cut a muscle and some nerves and then stitch it back together' date=' muscle or nerve causes unbearable pain because of the pulling and healing. Friends that have had cesearn sections have told me the same.....OUCH no pain meds work![/quote']

I must have had some strong meds for my last emergency csection and other complicated ab surgeries

I haven't seen my surgeon in like two months funny how its different in many places. I have been talking to his secretary for anythong that ove needed so far but had my pre-op appointment on Friday, everything seemed to go well as I was cleared for surgery. I am super excited and super nervous, just have this wave of emotions going through me right now. I have to be on Clear liquids Monday , don't know what time my surgery is but hopefully its early, I will be waiting for the call Monday afternoon that will let me know. I wish you the best of luck and hope everything goes well.

Wow u don't know? Mine is at 730am and I have to be there at 530.... Have to get kids ready for inlaws and mom is staying at nearby hotel.... I had to know every detail... Type A personality.... And in this uncertainty I felt needed to control at least the little I could... :-) I am hopeful and prayerful it will all go well. I need to be able to work and get back to working out and being active with my little boys and younger hubby ( ;-) )

My surgeons Physicians assistant, his nutritionist and his personal assistant call me once a week each to check on me, calm fears with facts, adjust diet as needed and encouragement.... All women... Love it!

I am chuckling! My dear daughter who is working on her masters thesis came home and made me a surgery play list for my iPhone with relaxing/meditative/positive songs. Got up this morning and started it. First song: Andy Grammer's Keep Your Head Up! "Gotta keep your head up.......you'll turn out fine!"

My theme song!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
