Shrinking Violets Part 4



Recommended Posts

Laura, I've read many positive posts about having the surgery in Mexico, but dang girl.. you have had so many problems with the band since you got it! I feel so bad for you. Wish I knew what to do. How much does the sleeve cost in Mexico?? Do you have any other options at all?? Makes me realize how thankful I am that my band is working and how I should try harder to do the work I'm supposed to. I got my Shape Up shoes the other day. The are bouncy and make me feel tall, but haven't had a chance to really get out there and walk for a while in them. Hope to do that Saturday when we go to Kris's for the art fair there.

Grady is getting his first tooth.. it's just starting to pop through. And of course he's a Mr. Cranky Pants with it.

Well, the bad part about the choir party is getting the yard and house clean and ready. The good part is today, everything is clean and I can just relax with Ethan.

Laura, I'm praying that you can find a solution to the band problem that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. (((hugs))) girl!!

I've had a request to start a new thread... symbolic of a fresh start and all that, I suppose.

All in favor?

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
