Looking for April 15-16-17 people



Recommended Posts

I hate the meds too! Absolutely a perfectionist but with everything except my health. I was always the girl that was big but active. I ran circles around my skinny friends, it made no sense to me. Then with PCOS and insulin resistance, it makes more sense. The meds suck, but I have been in really tight control of my blood glucose levels for awhile now. I am tired of depending on medication to be functional, I am ready to move on from that part of my life. All of the nervousness is overshadowed with excitement.

Hey Ladies I'm on April 15th as well, very over whelmed and excited. Been on a liquid pre op diet for two weeks and that has been a roller coaster ride of emotions. I'm here for support and also would love to get it and keep up with everyone that is going through the same thing as me! :)

SIX MORE DAYS

I am anxious every day!!

My liver reduction diet is going well.... it is hard to get 64oz of Water in. Some days I do, and some days I am getting in 50 though.

My liver diet is very simple (too simple) and it allows for 2oz of lean meat - in which I fail and have been eating 4 at times!!! 4 is still low, and it is mostly protien. But starting today, I am curbing that. I have not deviated in any other way and am still losing. I am down about 34 lbs since Superbowl (about 8.5 wks).

I have made a list of all the things i want to bring to surgery (cell phone, charger, chapstick, brush, backscratcher...stuff like that) and I will be scrubbing the hell out of the house this week so that I wont need to clean for a bit once I am home.

I AM scared though....very scared. I think constantly about potential complications (mostly adhesions and things that are out of anyone's control). I know people who have had bad complications and now that I know so much about WLS, I can attrubute many of their complications to things they did wrong or defied their doctors. I wont be doing things wrong.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
