Hi Jamie!

 

I'm Kerry, from Oregon.  I'm a new grad RN, currently working at the same LTC/Skilled facility I worked at as a LPN while applying to any hospital job I can find in the area.  ;-)  I am 33, and my current stats are:

 

5'7"

287.5 lbs (at surgery booking I was 301.8)

goal weight = 150-ish

 

My surgery is scheduled for April 6 with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at the Obesity Control Center.  I'm so excited for my new life to begin!

I haven't tried any of them yet I should because I'm very picky about flavors. I've read a bunch of reveiws and will order some trials this week.

I am so excited for everyone!

I ordered Protein powder samples from Unjury. They have chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, chicken and unflavored. I am really curious about the chicken and unflavored, I get tired of the sweet ones.

        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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
