Anyone having surgery in May



Recommended Posts

It is very exciting but also understandably scary. For years now I have had to endure so many challenges. I was molested as a child (that's when I started getting a bit chubby) then my first husband was killed right before my very eyes and lastly I had severe post-partum depression. I have been working so so hard internally for many years. I have been blessed to be able go share my story and help others. Now it's time for the external me. When I think about it, one word comes to mind, RESTORATION. How about you guys?

MommyD you got this we are going to have stories to share my friend lol are you nervouse yet I am calm but excited .

Best of luck to all this weeks surgeries. Tomorrow I'll be 1 week post op. Feeling pretty good. It's so bizarre to only eat 2 oz at a sitting but that is all my new stomach allows. I still have incision pulling and a little pain but it's totally under control. Good luck to this weeks group.

You folks that have to be at the hospital early are sooooo lucky. My surgery isn't until 2:00 on Tuesday! I'm going to be going crazy.

Hi Patticakes :) my surgeon is Dr Harnish at Ft Sam Houston Hospital. I've been on a liquid diet almost 2 full weeks, the day of surgery will be 2 weeks. I've been faithful and haven't cheated on the restrictions. I've dropped 15 # as of yesterday. It hasn't been easy, at times extremely difficult but I figured if I cheat on the diet, I cheat myself. How about you? Where are you from?

I like that word... Restoration :) I look forward to New Beginnings!! I'm going to be a grandmother the end of July and want to be around to see him grow up. We have some things in common.

Relax and enjoy you night with family. I had a Cathadetation so never was able to wear any of the stuff I brought to the hospital. I highly recommend Chapstick. My lips were so dry afterward. Good luck tomorrow.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
