So i've been doing research since having my kidney stone... apparently we are at risk due to the chemical make up of our urine after surgery...

here's to drinking way more water!

Thank you for sharing. That is good information to have!

I had my surgery on 6/17 in Mexico. I feel great, no pain, no trouble drinking and keeping it down, but I only lost 6 lbs so far.shouldn't it be more? I see people that lost 10-15 lbs even more in a week. Also I have a 5 month old baby who was 3 months premature so he is actually 2 months and weighs 14 lbs. doctor told me I can't pick him up for a month, only hold him sitting down if someone places him on my lap. It is very difficult not to pick him up, my mom is watching him during the day until my husband comes home from work but I feel terrible that I can't help him at night. Should I really wait that long, or could I pick him up already? Please help...

It is actually rare to lose a lot in the first few days. They pump you full of Fluid and you are very swollen on the inside. It takes time to heal. The weight will come. As for lifting your son, you should probably give it a good two weeks - your almost there, and then I would start slow and only pick him up when you have to. You don't want to hurt yourself and go back to the beginning. Most of the stitching is on the inside, and that is still very fragile. It needs time to heal. Congratulations on your baby boy and your new life!

I really think that is my issue with gout too.

Tomorrow is my one year follow up with my surgeon and NUT. Neither have seen me since early January. I looked back at my logs and realized I was in the 160s when they saw me last. I am now anywhere betwen 132 and 133. scale keeps hovering. I was hoping to be in the 120s by this appt. But damn! I am just so proud of myself I can't be upset by a few lbs. I am a changed woman. Tonight I swam 100 laps in our community pool in an hour. I have always been a strong swimmer and even swam on the swim team up until college, but still I felt like an athlete. I told my hubby I want to buy a waterproof mp3 player and a new beach cruiser as a surgiversary gift for myself. :)

I'm so proud of all of us!

My one year appointments went great!! My doctor and my NUT were so proud of me and said not many people get to a normal bmi in one year, especially with a metabolism like mine. I weighed in at 132 at their office. I wish I had gotten to the 120s but am proud regardless. My surgeon doesn't think I have anymore to lose. I asked the a consult with plastic surgery and hr said he thinks the panni / Tummy Tuck will get me easily 5-10 lb loss. I have already had him start documenting my lower back pain and rashes so I can work the insurance route. I have decided if insurance won't pay I'll do self pay. I'm worth it! I haven't purchased a new car in almost 20 years so I'll say it's my new ride. Lol.

I am busting with pride of a job well done. I wish my mom was still alive for me to share...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
