Laced up- yay! Military family! :)

He won't leave till I'm 3 weeks post op... So that's good. I do have a few GF's here... But I'm really setting things up for him/our kids. He works constantly so he won't be much help anyway. LOL! I have frozen casseroles for the kids, and tons of broths/mushies for me. So I'll be fine!

Dee you are the only other 28th that I have seen. Counting down. When do you start your pre-op diet? I saw nutritionist yesterday. Start on Monday. Excited for the home stretch of waiting. Been very emotional. My poor boyfriend deserves a medal for putting up with me.

I just got my date today! Mine is the 28th also!

My surgery is October 15 at 7:30 am. I have to be at the hospital at 5 am!!! Sunday, a tooth I got a root canal in 15 years ago starting hurting. By evening the pain was really bad. I used one of my husband's pain pills from a car wreck he had in July. Even that didn't control the pain. Went to dentist Monday and he referred me to Endodontist. That office x-rayed my tooth and determined I have a crack in my tooth and that it is infected around where the roots used to be. He prescribed better pain meds and a Z-pak to cut the infection. I go back tomorrow afternoon so he can extract the tooth and clean around it. Hopefully the tooth won't crumbled and can be reinserted. If not, I have to get a partial bridge or implant.

I've been careful to ask for pain meds with Tylenol to kill toothache pain. The liquid diet isn't bothering me cause I can't chew anything anyway. What a time to have this since my Surgery is next Tuesday, 10/15.

      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.
