Had Emergency Surgery Just Now



Recommended Posts

Update today: 7.16.19

I weighed in at 135.8lbs. Morning of surgery I was 133lbs and went up to my highest weight after surgery (from D5LR IV) was 141lbs.

Obscenely relieved to see the scale going in the right direction!!!

Obsessed much?

It's all good. Just a small hiccup, that I probably went Drama Llama on. :) Ha! It happens!

Oh, and back to 133.4lbs this morning. What a difference a week makes, right? Am I right? And I "ralked" (ran-walked at 3mph) this morning for 30 minutes.

I'm sorry this has happened to you, but glad your surgeon fixed it quickly.

It may have happened to you whether you'd had a VSG or not. Imagine how much more difficult your recovery would be if you were still obese!

Sending you positive healing vibes through the ether. 😉🙂

Well, I'm back to my low weight! Am 133.4lbs this morning. :D But my azz may always be big (relatively) and my tum is still puffy and swollen, so I'm thinking I may have 3-4lbs of extra weight on me right now. :D Waiting breathlessly and impatiently for this to happen. :) (Even so, I kinda feel like I cheated on the final leg of the weight loss.) Cuz hells, a blind squirrel can find a nut now and then and that's kinda how I think of this surgery. I found a blind nut. Coulda been bad, but turned into a boon to keep my yap shut and not eating!

((Note to @Sosewsue61 *snort* I read this as "Glad you are almost back to you SMALL azz self." and all I can add is that reading comprehension is a highly underrated skill. ;) The struggle is real. LOLOLOLOL!)

How I’m doing is great and maybe not so much lol. I’ll start with the great part? I’m down to a new low of 131.6 this morning.

Notsogreat is that it almost certainly won’t stick the landing cuz l got here by “foul” means lol. Apparently SOMEONES prayers to the Poo Fairy in this ESTABLISHMENT were too fervent and it’s backfired cuz I can’t turn the spigot off and nothin is stayin put. So it’s dehydration weight loss. 😏😲🥴

Did some tests yesterday and have “homework” to turn in Monday and we’ll know if it’s serious or not next week.

Meanwhile I’m back here hangin with potassium pills and Kaopectate. 🍾🎉🥳 hoping I’m not in a beginning stage of a little infection . My temp is starting to come up a little.

Yes! It’s really nbd!! Lol but you should see the shopping list: rice, Idaho potato, bananas , apples, sourdough bread, lololol! That’s why I don’t see the 131 “sticking” hahaha!! (But I was extremely grateful to the Poo Fairy for sparing me from the whole RB post surgery experience! 😘

      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!!
