Just wanted to update everyone. Had my surgery September 8th. My first couple days of recovery were the easiest, unfortunately the past couple days I had a reaction to the surgical glue and my body broke out in itchy hives. So now I'm on steroids and using hydrocortisone cream. I've also had a lot of cramping but that's from not getting enough fluids in so that's something I'm working on. As far as weight loss, I don't know how it is possible but as of today I've lost 38.6 lbs since September 9th (I weighed myself when I got home as they didn't weigh me when I left the hospital)!

Sipping my magnesium citrate now, curious when it's kicking in!

I start mine within the next 2 hours. Curious about how long before it works. I had to drink them before for colonoscopies, however, I can't recall the reaction time.

Well my prep appointment is complete, I'm ready to go. I'm still not nervous, not scared, not excited. Got bad news today. My Dr's practice will be leaving this area, 2 months after my surgery. So I will need to find a Dr in Richmond 1.5 hours away from me. Feeling frustrated over it, I didn't work this hard and long to have surgery to back out now because the hospital is removing his specialty.

Well it's done I've been home since last night, walking around the house since we have had bad weather. Not a lot of pain just a little uncomfortable.

That's great kittmom! I just had my surgery yesterday. They haven't let me get up and walk yet, or have anything besides ice and sips. Pain is tolerable.

I was up walking the hall of the hospital at around 11:30pm. With my nurses, they let me walk then back to bed, I'm not one that can sit or lay for long periods, still walking the house, still bad weather, my back hurts more than my surgery, Overall feeling pretty good, sipping Water, tea, broth for something warm. Hope you have a Speedy recovery

How is everyone doing? This thread has been kind of quiet

My surgery date was 9/8, i lost 46 lbs and 17.5 inches in my first month. Most of that, shockingly, was lost in my first two weeks. I definitely have stalled out these past few weeks and have lost and gained the same two lbs over and over. Starting to incorporate some more exercise in and hopefully get over this hump. Still struggling with getting my Protein in though unfortunately

My surgery was 9/26. I had only lost 20 lbs as of my last appointment which was last week. I try not to weigh often yet. Only at appointments. I will update after my next one.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
