The Real Me

I have my sleeve surgery tomorrow. I have been anxious awaiting the day. I was 255 and this morning weighed 245.4. Up and down my whole life. A bad marriage that lasted longer than it should have. Remarried just over a year and am so ready.

    Good for you for making a great decision. I also had a bad marriage that lasted too long. Am now married to the best man ever for 2 years. Since I found him so late in life, I want to be healthy so

  • I am glad! Still taking a nap for (2) hours each day. Eat a bit here and there. Belly a bit sore still but has only been 9 days since surgery. I am very happy I did this and am very happy My words

Today not very hungry at all. No hunger pangs, but know I should eat. Had a strawberry muscle milk, a bit of tomato soup, an isopure and one egg white with a little cheddar.

Today was my 3rd day of following my pre op diet correctly, my vitamins and protein came in Friday nite, funny thing was, I took my vitamins and protein shake this AM right before work around 6:00AM and I took my mix for my second shake at noon, I started off very strong lots of energy and less knee pain since I've probably lost about 25lbs pre surgery, then unfortunately I dropped around 1:00p and although I'm home and resting, still feeling sluggish, I really wanna heal well after surgery so I can go back to the gym, I think it'll help.......I hope? Lol

Keep getting at least 60 g of protein a day. You will feel sluggish as your body is not getting what it used to. I have to nap everyday since surgery. Keep going!!!

@@laguerr13 that is great! I weigh myself again Thursday morning. No naps for the first time since surgery. I am running errands and doing light housework. Hubby and kids keep me going.

232.4 this morning. Been taking it easy the last few days as I pulled a muscle on my left side. It started spasms where the sutures and glue and painful. I may go see Dr. tomorrow if it is still bothering me. Laying down stops the spasms.

@@laguerr13 how are you doing?

Weighed myself at work in full scrubs and shoes, 347lbs, was 349 last Tuesday, so I think I'll weigh in at 344on Wednesday for surgery, my scrubs were too loose and kept falling, so I am extremely excited, and optimistic, I want small milestones not scales!

Small milestones, exactly. I am up this evening. Light cleaning and dinner. Sore, being careful as to my movements. How wonderful and proud you should be! I will keep you in my prayers on Wed. The worst part is the first 2-3 weeks after surgery. The soreness. Take your time!

My surgery went great Wednesday, I made the nite shirt nurse smile by taking off down the hallway in my gown and boxer briefs , and I kept going, I also asked the Dr. To let me come home Thursday since I was off most of the machines and doing things for myself, and I've been doing great, only minor setbacks but nothing unmanageable, small bleeding from one of the incisions, finally released lots of gas, and unsatisfied thirst, like I wanna chug a cold bottle of water so bad, but hey if that's all I can do this !!!!!!!
