Second F/U visit with surgeon



Recommended Posts

Although he never set a particular "goal" for me I felt like my first f/u visit on June 2nd that he was disappointed in my weight loss. I was hoping to be in ONEderland today but that didn't happen :(

I am dreading the scale today - I use to step backwards up onto them before WLS! I am confident enough to step up facing forward, just like I did in June, but I sure hope I don't feel like I didn't lose enough :/

Its bad enough to have personal drama outside the WLS world and to also be worrying about a darn number on a scale!

OK - I have said my piece.

Wish me luck!

My surgery weight was 238 so I've lost 35 since surgery. It goes in fits and starts. This week has been very good with 1.6 pounds down today and about a half pound for several days in a row before that. I start to expect that kind of loss but I know that isn't practical. I exercise quite a bit and have increased my calories to 800-1000 per day. I haven't looked into the Halloween challenge. Are you doing it?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
