I had my surgery on 12/20/13 at Baylor trophy club. Dr Kim and dr Holden did my surgery. So far it's been good except for a few side effects like nausea, diarrhea and bad breath but other than that going great. I have not retuned to wk yet because of the nausea it's been pretty extremed. I'll probably go back on Monday. I live in Euless/ ft worth and work in Irving

Ohh .. My... I offend myself with the breath... I understand it gets better as we get into real food and get off Protein shakes... I have 2 boxes of Larousse, gum and listerstrips all for next week at work.

Barefeet, that's cool we were probably on same floor I was in rm 217... We will defiantly have to keep in touch and track our progress. My biggest fear is I wasn't loose the wt or have some crazy complication.

I agree I'm scared to death I've done this and I won't use the tool... Doesn't help that I've been at the same weight for the better part of a week. I know there is a 3 week stall that a lot of people talk about, but since day 7 I have lost more than 1/2 a pound.... For the last 3 days I have been very focused on getting moving...

I know the feeling when I went in per op I was 256.5 and when I came Hm from hosp I was 263! Went up 7 lbs... From 263 I've lost 16 lbs as of yesterday . But today I went up 1.5 lbs :( feeling a lil discourage.

I also watch a lot of u tube videos and a lot of the ppl had lost 100+ lbs by 6-8 mos . If I could do that I would be so happy..... I certainly plan on hitting the gym as soon as I can

Also, I plan on finding some healthy recipes. Of course bring from Texas I enjoy food and cook like a Texan :) so I have to stop that habit and change my whole life style..

Once we get to start eating normal food we need to start a receipe section.

I finally lost 1.8# today after not losing for 12 days! My official weigh-in and measurements will be tomorrow, but I was super happy I saw the loss.

On another note: Dr Kim's support mtg is this Wednesday the 8th at 6:30, and it will be about setting goals. Nate Newton is the guest speaker and a patient. I am planning on attending, anyone else like to join?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
