January Surgery Dates

:) Gas Spasm

I am 4 days Post- Op, feeling pretty good, still have some gas but just keep burping. Ate my first soft foods today, no problem except not hungry, No pain medicine after 2nd day and sleeping well. Will continue to walk around house but am not up to a long walk just yet due to knees, & weight of course. Gained 13 pounds in surgery, but assume when I weight at one week I willhave lost that!

Thanks for all the support.

Hello January Banders.

All is well since the 10th of Jan. It is almost a month and doing great here. I did sign up for a fill for Feb. 21 but not sure if I will need to go. As of now I am okay just did not want to have to wait if I do need to go come six weeks out.

Just checking with everyone and wishing everyone well.

Banded Jan 16th

Folks are forever saying they need fills, begging for fills,

but I seem to be at a good pace. We've been in such a

deep freeze, I haven't walked much yet.

On Jan 28, at the WLS dept I weighed 226.

When I weigh in Feb 13, I'm sure I'll be in the teens.

I'm doing a LapBand/healthy (diabetes) LowCarb combo.

I have to remind myself to eat and then I eat very little.

But it's great, I feel fine, food just doesn't appeal to me much.

All my food slides down just fine. Poop sure stays loose :lol:

I'm thinking the Splenda has an effect on me.

It's like when they did the surgery they cut the chord

that was constantly ringing my dinner bell. So far, my

food obession has just diappeared, it's such a blessing.

a funny - I'm a Secretary at Watauga's public transportation

system, I work with a lot of older men. They knew I was

going to have some sort of weight-loss surgery, and when I

arrived back at work, they just shrugged and said, "she just

looks the same" - like I was going to come back transformed

into Eva Longoria. :biggrin:

My nephew(8 years old) whispered to my sister when I got home from the hospital and said she doesn't look skinnier. He then came and said to my face, and I asked him why. He said he thought they were going to cut all the fat off me and I would come home skinny.:lol:

Hey Joanna,

Another 93 lbs their eyes will be all over your skinny Eva Longoria ass. And then you'll have the last laugh. And we'll laugh right along with you!

Keep up the great work!

      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.

      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!!
