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!

@@mery76 we had surgery the same day! My hubs is in the usmc- message me if you wanna keep in contact with me and our surgery updates I started puréed food yesterday it's a bit weird

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
