10 days away from the beginning of my new life????????!



Recommended Posts

I can't believe my 6 month waiting period is over. Im glad I had that time preparing myself for gastric bypass but also the time I had with the dietitian helped me. I'm just got the approval from Blue Shield and my surgery is on the 23rd of Feb. I have such mixed emotions. I'm super excited to get healthy and lose the 100plus pounds I need to lose but I'm also scared and nervous. I started my journey at 292lbs and now 10 days from surgery I'm 268lbs. My goal is to get to 140lbs. I am a huge cola drinker so that's one of my biggest worries. I get severe headaches without caffeine and no soda is gonna definitely be a challenge. I decided after my 3rd failed back surgery that I needed to try something else. I have chronic back and leg pain along with fibromyagia. I'm hoping that as I lose the weight it will help with the pain. I have read so many stories on here that have been so motivating and encouraging to me. I hope that everything goes as planned and that the pain afterwards isn't to bad. Any information about your weight lose and your post op pain would be helpful. Also would love to hear about what everyone used during the liquid diet part of the process. Hope everyone is doing well and reaching their goals.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
