Surgery Date 4/30/14



Recommended Posts

Hello my name is Nita. I am having surgery tomorrow and I am losing my mind. I have no family support. Everyone in my family thinks I have lost my mind because I choose to take control of my life. I just need encouragement. I'm a little defeated :-(

My surgery date is 4/30/2014 also. Nita, you are by no means alone, we are in this together! Thru Christ we can do all things! The road will not be easy, but certainly well worth it! I pray for our successful and hopefully uneventful surgery. I'm looking forward to a new life with a new tool that will help me reach the goal I have dreamed of.

Hi Nita.

I'm having surgery tomorrow, too! We are all in this together and just remember you are doing this for YOU! I don't think anyone understands this process unless they have gone or are going through it. Let us be your support. I've found a lot of comfort here and I'm sure you will, too.

Good luck tomorrow and sending you a big virtual ((((HUG))))

Nita, i'm so proud of you that y ou have made a choice. It's to many times in life that we put ourselves and our health on the back burner for others. You've made a wonderful decision. Remember, we are always here! :D I'm not that far out, but friend me, ask me any questions, whatever. I'll be happy to be there for you also. Maybe we could even help each other. Have a wonderful day. ANd make sure you come back to check in soon as you're feeling a little better. i'll be looking for u. :huh: :)

Me either but you can do it! Savedbygrace had it right. :) Just because others dont agree with you taking your health in hand doesn't make them right and you wrong.

Hold your mouse over the persons name. A menu will come up. There is a small sidebar on the left and then in the right hand area under the top menu, you'll see the shoulders/head image of a person. It says As add friend.

4/30/2014- My surgery is at 9:00 am. This is the day! Let us rejoice and be glad in it! I am looking forward to the rest of our lives! Nita, Kpay10 and others whose day is today; God bless each of you and all others to come. We can do this, each one reach one. Let us keep on touch and lift each other up. I'm very optimistic about this. I know it won't all be roses, but I believe that it will ultimately be worth it all ! Hugs!

      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!!

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

      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! 😞
