An NSV worthy of a post.
Donna T replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congrats! NSV are sometimes better than scale victories! -
It still hasn't sunk in yet.
Donna T replied to Maddie's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congrats on your success! 100 lbs is so huge, I'm halfway there, and people like you inspire me! -
I'm on the Road to Onederland!! Who's with me?
Donna T replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I want a seat on this train too! 25 lbs to go, but for the first time in my adult life I know I can do it! I had a scale victory today, I've lost 50 pounds! Woop woop, 50 pounds gone forever! -
I just say "portion control and exercise" cuz it's true! =)

I only took 6 days off work, but I kind of regretted that- it would have been nice to have a few more days of being home in my pj's =)

I still have giant portion eyes too! Brings whole new meaning to your eyes being bigger than your stomach LOL -
There will be a next time Just won't be for a while LOL- I had my sleeve on 9/7 and can eat just about anything now, just only a few bites- I love it! Congrats, and wish you well!

So so happy for you! Dr Davidson did my sleeve too, it will be 4 weeks ago this coming Tuesday. His staff is awesome, and the Nurse practitioner there Sandy is really great and gives you her personal cell # which she answers anytime except between midnight and 5 am- and she encourages you to call with any question or problem. On top of that, we live literally 30 minutes from each other! After your surgery is done and you can eat again we can go to lunch and split a kids meal LOL. Congrats!

Remind me of why I shouldn't get on the scale
Donna T replied to Lisalu's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My doctor actually encourages me to weight daily- he said that research shows that people who weigh daily are more successful with losing weight, then maintaining that weight loss than people who dont weigh daily- he thinks it makes us more accountable. -
When doctor says rest.. REST
Donna T replied to GayleSBennett's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
These are wise words! I went back to work only 6 days after surgery, and it was way too soon! I'm 2 and a half weeks out now, and starting to feel more normal, but if you can stay home and rest you absolutely should! -
Best week ever, NSV after NSV!!
Donna T replied to Stacy160's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
So inspiring! This also brought tears to my eyes, as I could feel the joy and triumph in your words. Congrats! -
Congrats! Woop woop....hope to be doing the happy dance with you someday :w00t:

How long did you have to miss work?
Donna T replied to Becca's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on a Tuesday, and went back to work the next Monday- it wasn't easy, but I made it through....I basically sit a computer all day though, so if you do something more strenuous, I would definitely take maybe 10 days at least. I am 12 days out right now, and feeling pretty good. Good luck on your surgery! -
I made this recipe tonight....sooooo yummy!
-
Finally feeling pretty good
Donna T replied to juliarh's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Julie- so glad to hear you are feeling better! I am a little over a week out and am just now starting to feel pretty good too...I think we will live LOL...let the weight loss begin! -
I'm being SLEEVED on Sept. 15, 2010 by Dr. Aceves!!
Donna T replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Hope you are doing well! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers! -
Congrats on your decision! I think I would at least try to get your insurance to pay for it, the worst that could happen is that you would then have to go private pay if it fell through- my insurance specifically excluded any type of bariatric surgery, so I had to pay out of pocket. I am 6 days out now, and starting to feel better and so happy I went ahead with it! Good luck with whichever way you decide to go!
-
I actually went back to work today, and that wasn't such a good idea LOL, but somehow I made it through. I am feeling a lot better- I am still on clear liquids, but hopefully get to start full liquids tomorrow...cant wait to have a least some soup! I weighed, and I'm down 21 pounds total, but I lost 11 preop. Exciting! Talk to ya soon!
-
So glad you made it through safely and are on the mend! I had constant headaches for the first 2-3 days, not sure if it was the anesthesia or what, but it finally went away. I am on day 6 today, and went back to work ...that was not such a good idea, but somehow I made it through. Keep me posted on how you are doing...maybe once we can actually have real food again we could meet for lunch and split a kids meal LOL
-
We had our sleeves done on the same day, and I'm just popping by to say hi and hope you are doing well!

Donna T replied to Carrie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Well said! Except for hopefully now she (and we all ) can wear "little girl panties":001_tt2:
