First Post: Are there any other military wives going through this process?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I am a military spouse.. My husband just crossed his 21 yrs in the UARMY. I would like to share with you that my surgery was 07Dec16 and I feel great. liquid diet stage. Not a lot of pain, a bit sore. I only took Tylenol 5 days and I think I did because I was afraid to feel pain... I've lost 13lbs since surgery day. I crave Beans and corn tortillas... I don't know why... Jajaja But 4oz of broth or Water always reminds me what my sleeviux can only handle at this point. I feel happy! It was the right decision!

Anyone worried about cravings when u see how hard it is to drink even Water you will forget wanting anything else for fear of pain-- that's how I feel anyways

My friends four months out and here and there she still sneaks chocolate pizza Pasta friend foods - just stays in her portions and budgets the right foods around it and she's doing amazingly

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
