March-April Rny-ers



Recommended Posts

AshMarie are you getting excited? It is wonderful you are now so close. Are you busy making plans, getting everything in order before you go to the hospital? You probably have told us but I forget where you are having your surgery at. Have you watered your plants? All the bad food out of the pantry? Fed the cat, dog,or goldfish? Do you have to change your diet right before surgery? Can you tell I'm excited for you?

I am doing RNY. I’ve actually not been able to bring myself to do much planning yet. So much has been going on. My surgery will be at Oakland Regional in Michigan. My surgeon is Dr.Matthew Weiner.

Here’s a link to watch how my journey has been so far. If link is broken you can find me on YouTube. My channel name is Fat 2 Fab.

Shoot I should have remembered because I teased you about Dr W being a super star of Bariatrics I would prefer to meet him over your Governor or my Governor (who I knew because I campaigned for him in Columbus when we both were younger) and certainly not President Trump, who my son loathes.[emoji27]🇺🇸 Somebody said something like isn't he from your party? Nope I grew up as a Republican not a Trumperterian, I'd turn Democrat,or even a splinter party first.[emoji26]

I am happy and excited your day is coming! Please let me know how everything goes, okay? PS I just watched your you tube, very nicely done.[emoji12]

Is it crazy that I’m only 4 days post op and I am having major horror/crazy ass dreams of food? ??? It’s so weird and on top of that it is sooooooooo uncomfortable to sleep. I can’t wait til they take this thing out Thursday

It may mean that your sub consciousness realizes what a toxic relationship you had with food. I can admit my own because I know and realize it was an abuser that controlled me instead of me controlling it. And like many others of that ilk it told me " I'm the only friend you have" well I finally realized I no longer needed such a friend and the tie must be severed. On surgery day Unhealthy food and I will be divorced. You are stronger than I for you have already done it. I salute you LakeishaNicole.[emoji7]

I had mine one week ago.

i have had 2 food dreams with the same theme, eating something “bad” and then realizing....ooops!

I’m not hungry but commercials can be a killer😖

I am doing good. Meeting my 80+protein goal, drinking 64+ oz , getting in all my Vitamins. Seems like everyother day I am really full and it’s a little harder.

Still love my Premier Protein shakes so easy to get 2 a day for 60 Protein (split into 1/3s (7am, 9, 11, 1, 3, 5). Add some protein Water. I am taking Barmelt vitamins, sweet but getting use to them. Hardest is my Centrum Multivitamin chewable, tastes awful😝

Need to walk more, doing my breathing spirometer.

No pain or nausea. Haven’t taken anything since first day home.

Slept pretty good last 2 nights.

What is everyone else drinking?

I finally had 1/3 cup Soup. Probabably will have again tonight.

I had the same thing happen to me right after I came home from the hospital. I started eating cream of mushroom Soup five days post op and the dreams quit. For me, getting to eat something I really like (the soup) seemed to stop the dreams.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
