    Almost gave up

    My surgery was in Monday 4.17.17. I am currently home recovering. So yeah I went through with it even though as they rolled me into the operating table I was a nervous wreck. But now I think I made the right choice for my health.

    I was wondering about this and I am keeping all my receipts just in case.

    Thyroid issues

    Has anyone had a high TSH level? What did your surgeon say?

    Endoscopy Biopsy

    My gastro did an endoscopy on me on Friday. All went well but he did mention he took a few biopsies.... um, of what?? [emoji17] he said he would send the paper work over for surgery and all and also would call me if something "comes back" on the biopsies. Is this normal? Did I have something going on? I was still out of it from the anesthesia to question him. Im not freaking out or anything but it's itching me.

    Hey guys! So I'm down 60lb since surgery on February 17 and am looking to go down another 120lbs. Finally implementing more exercise and am getting about 10k steps a day. Anyone out there want to be FitBit buddies to keep motivated!? Good luck to all! :-)

    Run? Now I do many things but running is not one of them! Never mind after surgery-just let's say never!!! Now, many other kinds of exercise, yes. After surgery I immediately went back to dog walking, only a couple of miles a day to start with but gradually increasing distance and length of walks. I swam as soon as I could get back in the water which was as soon as I got my stitches out. I was back at ballet classes after ten months but it was only vanity that made me put it off for so long as I really couldn't cope with looking at my still lumpy bits in the mirrors that surround you in a dance studio! Oh yes, and the fact that I hadn't done class for 35 years. I now walk 6-7miles every day with my dogs and do at least two ballet classes a week. I feel wonderful!

    People Are Hating

    People can be self centred jerks and have only their best interests in mind. They get jealous. Ignore the haters and if they don't like it- tough luck.

    Any Apple watch users?

    My tracker at the bottom says 15 lbs to go but that was my Dr.'s goal. I am only 5'3" and I would need to get to 140 to have a normal (not overweight) BMI.

    FEELING SO DEFEATED!!!

    From my understanding, the pre-op diet is to remove fat from the liver so that the surgery is easier for the surgeon. I wouldn't worry about it. I would be proud of the 14 pounds in 10 days!!!!!

    1) I gained all my weight back plus 15. My band worked initially but I could never get a fill I could live with. Even the slightest fill caused food to get stuck. I gave up on fills within the first year. Even unfilled I struggled to eat right. Protein first meant I was throwing up. I learned to eat around the band rather than go back to surgeon and deal with it immediately. 2) I waited 10 yrs from band to revision 3) I started pre op for sleeve 3 months before surgery by choice. I was mentally ready even if I had to jump through all the hoops first. I lost 35 lbs. 4) I've lost 46 lbs. I am 2 weeks post op Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
