Got nekkid at work yesterday !



Recommended Posts

Those liquid pain meds they sent home with me caused me some SERIOUS Constipation. Be careful with taking the pain meds. I thought at one point that I was going to have to have my "blockage" surgically removed. Just...be careful.

@@Graciesmom04 The Pillow of Peace is an awesome thing.

i found out about on my last hernia repair.

I was just wondering how you were doing! Glad to hear things are good!

Thank you.

Everything is going really, really well.

Surgery has been very successful thus far.

I have zero complaints and am pleased with how easy the "diet" is to follow.

2.5 months since surgery and 6 months since enrolling in a bariatric pre-op program.

I haven't been taking many pics, sorry if these have been used in other threads.

If you are on the fence about having surgery.......don't be. DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!

Get the relief you deserve and do something fun with it.

Excellent advice.

I really had some serious "discomfort" from that very thing.

Glad it passed. I was fearful that I was going to wreck the hernia sutures.

You look amazing and amazingly different. I love seeing pictures of someone in basically the same position, same type clothes because it actually lets you see the real change. I am sure you can't get enough of people giving you the thumbs up. I hope I am able to have the follow through and results like this.

Thank you very much.

I wanted to update this thread because I wanted to emphasize how easy things get in just a short time after the surgery. I'm 2.5 months out and living with the sleeve is really easy.

Even with the hernia repair I'd do the surgery again in a skinny minute.

Nothing to it.

Dub, you've been a lifesaver for me today. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and I've almost talked myself out of it 100 times. Reading how well it went for you and how you're eating normal foods (just less of it) and seeing how it looks like you feel so much better puts me a little more at peace.

Keep up the weight loss and the great sense of humor!!

You've done very well, indeed.

Kudos @@Dub

The rest, as they say, is a proverbial "cake walk" lol (Heaven Forbid!!!)

You've been an inspiration to many with your great attitude and determination, myself included.

Keep wearing those shades!!! Your future is now long and bright☀️☀️☀️ !!!

      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!!
