Any Iowa sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. First day of liquid diet for me, surgery is Wed. What did you take to hospital that you highly recommend I bring? I have chap stick, gas x, cell charger and extension cord. I'll keep a pillow in my car. Anything else?

That's all you really need. They don't have you change or put shoes on. I lift my pillow in the car too. They have the lotion and stuff there. Don't let on that you have the gas x strips though. They don't want you to have them because they want you to pass the gas. But my thought is...that pain is kinda worse than I like and I'm not waiting. Lol .

Christmas was fabulous even though I didn't get to eat. The family kept saying I could get a plate of everything and lick it all. Lol. It was a good light hearted running joke all night. How was everyone else's Christmas?

My family doctor didn't think it would hinder my surgery, I will be on antibiotics for a week by then. I think we caught it right away

Nana when is your date?

Dr. Glascock is awesome so I know you will do fine. Everyone at the hospital is great!

I found this prayer in my paperwork and welcome cards. So I am saying this prayer for you and Patty.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
