Anyone November 2020

I’m finally updating.... I flew to Mexico and had my surgery on Friday. I flew home yesterday and crawled right into bed. I had the worst experience. I am still nauseous and haven’t been able to get much down. I know that some people have had excellent experiences going to Mexico, but unfortunately mine was not. I regret having the surgery. I get up to walk and I am so light headed and have to lay back down. I haven’t thrown up today, thankfully. My flight back home yesterday was awful and I threw up a couple times. I had nothing in me and it was horrible. Today I have sipped a little Gatorade today and was able to suck on a popsicle. I pray I get feeling better soon and can get rid of the dizziness and nausea. I have no energy. I hope no one else goes through this.

I had my gastric bypass on Nov. 2. Before surgery I purchased some “Better than Bullion “ to use as broth. I also got vegan Protein Powder and several juices, bariatric Vitamins and miso Soup.

The surgery was much easier than I expected. My doctor performed robotic surgery. I was nervous before surgery but it was so easy.

I’m in the Liquid Protein phase now. I make my own shakes since I cannot tolerate commercial Protein Drinks and I vegan.

I purchased 200 1 oz cups with lids to portion out my drinks and easy to take when I go out.

HI. My RNY bypass surgery is November 18, 2020. I started my pre-surgery diet on November 4, 2020 and only loss about 2 pounds. I feel that is not enough for one week. Shouldn’t there be more weight loss in one week? I have one more week to go on my pre-surgery diet.

I’m glad your surgery went well. I was super uncomfortable in the hospital but not really in pain. I got home yesterday and I’m still ridiculously tired. Just drinking drinking drinking all day.

I didn’t lose a lot right away. I think I lost 12 pounds total in the two weeks.

I’m so sorry you are having such a hard time. I had a lot of nausea after my surgery which made it so much worse! I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I don’t have a lot of energy either, but sounds like you’ve had a more harrowing journey. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for your kind words. Today I feel a little better. I pray each day I get better and better. I’m just so thankful to be in my own home and not in Mexico. I hope our energy will be up soon!

The diet sucks but you can do this. It’s not a complete do over right? Just a delay. Do you know how long. I can’t imagine how disappointing this is.

      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!!
