[mention=213790]sjfink[/mention] How are you doing after surgery? I'm still so nervous for my surgery June 5th!



4 days post op and super swollen! No drains this time, which seemed weird, but considering how uncomfortable they are, I'm not complaining! So far things look ok with the incisions & I'm hoping it stays that way! I feel like this one is the most uncomfortable recovery… or maybe I'm just forgetting how I was feeling after my TT/LBL! June 5 is right around the corner… I'm sure you'll do great!

@Dashofpixiedust8, i really need to get back to tracking. I have a food scale now and barely use it. I guess i just have no idea where to start. It's like I'm back at square one. I have all these ideas and fluff in my head and i can't make sense of it lol. My nutritionist is cool with me eating more carbs but i feel like i need to get a better handle on my Protein before i really incorporate carbs on a regular basis. Even tho i have my cheats i really don't eat carbs in my regular diet. No crackers, rice, potatoes and stuff like that. But lately I haven't been paying much attention and taking bites of others foods and drinking whenever regardless of when i last had a bite. I need a kick in the ass. Stopping all the crap today. Thanks for the motivation. Im not ruining all the hard work I've put in just for food.

@sjfink That is weird there are no drains! I've heard that's one of the more uncomfortable surgeries. I hope you start feeling better soon! I know June 5th is coming so close! I'm exited and nervous!

@Torriluv87 I didn't cut out carbs. I know a lot of people do but I know for me that wasn't an attainable diet. I did start weighing everything and tracking again. I think that is really key. It is important to track even the bites you take of food because they count too! Good luck to you!

So I woke up today and decided to weigh myself....230!!!! On May 10th I weighed 256 (10pds Water retention). Surgery day I weighed 246.

Its been a struggle but seeing the scale...makes me happy and 100% positive that I made the right decision for the surgery.

Happy Sunday to you all.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
