April 12th 2018 & Random Thoughts



Recommended Posts

Well, it’s almost here. Tomorrow, I will finally have RNY surgery. Although I’ve enjoyed many incredible moments, many have been based around food. I am looking forward to new adventures. Starting with a trip to Disney!!

It has been quite a journey so far. Gaining and losing 100s of lbs. The straw that broke the camels back for me was losing 50 lbs last year. I was working out and eating right. I fell off the wagon and not only gained back the 50 lbs but an additional 40 lbs. I was devastated. I’m approaching 50 years of age and I feel myself slowing down. Missing out on activities with family and friends. It is time for a change.

I have spent time during my pre-op journey reaching out to all that encouraged me throughout the years letting them know that their advice did not fall on deaf ears. My only wish would be to have had my parents living to watch this transformation.

I am so grateful to my wife who was and always will be supporting me throughout this process. I am also grateful to all my family and friends for their support.

So let’s do this!!

Hello all,

i just got home from the hospital. I had a great experience. Honestly, I thought it was going to be worse. I did take all the pain medications I could take. So that could be a part of it. They also kept giving me anti nausea meds for precautionary measures. The nurses were top notch. Certain movements do give me some discomfort. I think the worst part was the drink for the upper GI test.

Oh, yeah! That upper GI stuff was nasty! Glad you're home and that everything went well. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
