How did you find the graph for your weightloss that you have when you respond? I couldn’t figure out how to load it onto my file.

Go to Account
then Profile, then MySurgery, then Trackers.

Yes, I called about it this morning, and if I do not get COVID, I can get my ablation Jan. 22. I’m just a bit down in the dumps about having to put up with this pain especially at bedtime and all night long. I can’t get comfortable no matter what position I’m in.

We’re you scheduled for Dec 30 and it was moved?

It was changed to Jan. 22 ......almost a month later! I was originally supposed to have it BEFORE my WLS, but I was afraid Medicare might not cover both surgeries so close together, and WLS seemed more important to me, thinking as I started losing weight it might take pressure off those nerves, but it hasn’t. In fact it actually seems worse......

I must have a different iPad, or iPhone? Version, cuz I get to mysurgery and there is only 2 categories with it, and trackers isn’t one of them. Maybe I am using a different system, being Apple it’s IOS . I even tried it on my iPhone, both by the website, and the BariatricPal app. Neither has the tracker. But thanks for giving me that info. Maybe I need to go on the main computer to get it.

It’s a nerve burn in my back that will stop the pain in my lower back and down my legs, on both sides, although my left side is worse than the right. I haven’t asked about pain meds yet. I still have some Tylenol with codeine left from my gastric bypass I’ve been hanging on to . I had been on Celebrex before my GP, but had to go off because of it being an NSAID. So my lower back nerves have really gotten agitated in the last 2 months. Thank you for asking. I afraid they won’t give it to me if I ask for something stronger. I’m taking cyclobenzaprine but it only makes me tired and doesn’t help with the pain.

That is so annoying! Nerve pain is the worst! My goes down my legs. I take 10-325 Percocet every 5.5 hours or I wouldn’t survive. Can you see a pain specialist? My GP won’t prescribe either. I’m so sorry!!

Our government at its finest!! I’m so sorry you have to wait! I get so angry when they let people be in pain because some people abuse drugs! Hoping you get relief!

I have an iPhone as well but yes, I find I can only change my weight on the computer and not on my phone? I did all the setup and tracker on the computer so yes, you are right! There must be a way but I can’t figure it out either!!

The pain dr. is who I’m waiting for my ablation(nerve burn) from on January 22nd. I’m hoping he will give me Percocet as well, but drs. Are afraid of getting sued these days for making addicts of us all. I had some OLD pills that were 30-325, and some that were 5-325. I had the stronger ones left from kidney stones. I’m gonna call today. I took one 5-325 along with another 325 Tylenol last night and it was the first I had ANY RELIEF FOR AGES.

Hey everyone! Survived the holiday, my first stall and down 32 lbs this morning. 6 weeks post op and started exercising this week. hair shedding started right away and finally slowed a bit this week. Not noticeable unless you see my bathroom shower wall afterwards 😂. How is everyone doing?? Steamed green Beans & sautéed mushrooms have been a favorite recently.

      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!!
