Calling January Sleever????



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for Jan 7th with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. I have to switch from Atkins to 3 shakes a day with unlimited veggies tomorrow. I've got 5 lbs left to lose before surgery. I've also been having some trouble finding an incentive spirometer at the stores. Where'd you find one and how much did you pay?

So today is my first day on my official preop diet it is going just fine although I thought I was tired before oh man I'm really tired now. I feel like someone put a sleeping pill in everything I drink. I think it is kinda due to lack of carbs but I will get through it and just deal. I hope you ladies are having an easier time then me about it. 3 wks and one day til surgery ugh hurry up December!

Welcome to the world of a narcoleptic sister! Well sort of. Definitely the tired all day part. I'll probably be catatonic when I start my liquids tomorrow.

Spirometer - got mine off Amazon for $10.

You'll easily lose that last 5lbs + some these next two weeks!!! Yahooo!!!! We are getting close! My surgery is the 9th :)

Tentatively scheduled for the 12th. I got approved by my current insurance toward the end of dec. but come January we have a new insurance. So here is hoping that the approval gets transferred easily enough.

mmm so this morning I was doing nothing and got an itch in my belly button and noticed a small lump in my belly button a painful one. I think I might have a umbilical hernia...this will really suck if I have one cause I can not have surgery with it. I will have to push mine off for awhile. Guess I'll know before my date is set.

      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.

        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... :(
