Fabulous February Post-Op's



Recommended Posts

I'm just as baffled. They told me they'd just check it at my 4-month appointment with all my other bloodwork. It doesn't make a damn bit of sense. Oh well. All's well that ends well?

Odd aside: I've lost a grand total of 2 pounds in the past month' date=' and yet in the last week or so people have been commenting on my weight loss again. Are their eyes just finally adjusting to what they're seeing? Am I wearing clothes (baggier or tighter) that are showing it off more? Or did it all just jiggle it's way around so that some parts of me suddenly look thinner?

I get compliments at the strangest times!!!!! I'm in the throws of frustration be because I've lost 2 pounds in 3 weeks and I hear !omg it's just falling off you now!!!! My theory is it takes time for it all to shift around. I had a day last week where I developed creek bones like over night....totally weird!!!

I get home from a 9 day vacation in the Florida keys tomorrow....longest I've been off a scale in forever. I can't decide what I'll see....eating out a lot, mostly seafood, mostly grilled but we have had our quick sandwich days too which are carb heavy but just had to grab and go sometimes.....also have walked and walked and walked, and swam, and snorkeled.....I think I'll be down a pound or two but we'll see Sunday! (Darn well better poop before then, the vacation has my bowels all messed up). Vacation withRNY was so much nicer than vacation with a fickle band!!!

Things I did that I'd never do before: wear a bathing suit all day,even shopping,no cover-up, wear a strapless sundress all day, wear a tank top with nothing over it.....and they all looked good :). It's been an awesome week.

Yay for cute clothes!!!!! I feel so weird shopping in the 'normal' section....also keep grabbing clothes that are too big. Brain hasn't grasp how much smaller my butt is yet I guess :)

I totally understand... I really don't know how to shop small. I was so happy not to have to buy some thing with sparked air flowers... That's what all the bigger clothes were like.. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm just happy I had choices. Bought two really cute fitted tops' date=' black walking shorts (not capris) and a really cute robins egg fitted dress with a belt!!!

I just reread my last post... don't you love auto correct on your phone? instead of saying sparked air flowers i meant "buy clothes with sparkles or flowers". It just seemed like those use to be my only options other than yoga pants

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great 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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
