Anyone not tell family?
Bigmommatojacob replied to MIMamaof2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
We'll I live in a small town and unfortunately when you tell a select few the world knows. I could care less about anyone knowing but my fear is failure and getting made fun of worse then the fat jokes. -

Anyone use MapMyWalk?

I use it and love it. -
Am head hungry and sight hungry. I had my VGS on the 25th of April. I followed my doctors two week liquid diet as he ordered. Now I am starting week four of the same diet. Chicken broth, powerade zero the usual things. Every where we go there is food all over the place. I never realized how life revolved around food until this surgery. Not the needed food to survive but the if I see it I am going to eat it need. I have done good ( as far as hunger) until yesterday and today I feel starved buy my stomach is fine. It does not hurt nor does it cramp. I am assuming this is head hunger that I have been reading about. Does it ever go away?

Prayers for a great surgery and easy recovery.

Post op 1 week and hate lying around
Bigmommatojacob posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had surgery last Friday and Wednesday I cleaned house. I did all my weekly chores but took my time and rested between. Then I did laundry but only lifted the light clothes. I left the heavy stuff for the hubby. Did I mess up or can I mess up my new tummy doing small chores? I hate just sitting around. -

My surgery was the 25th and have been having the same problems. My friend said it will pass that the gas on your stomach causes it . She had the surgery and now snacks on meals all day and looks awesome.

You will be fine. Just relax or yout blood pressure will keep going up. If they did the stress yhe test and didnt say anything think of it as a positive. -
Was sleeved yesterday and although I have pain and nausea I am doing good. I walk and move around. My nausea is from the pain meds mostly because I don't take anything but Tylenol regularly. So glad I did it.

Pre-op nurse called me to old for surgery and made me nervous!
Bigmommatojacob posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I everyone I have about 30 hours and I will be sleeved. I was not nervous until today with my pre-op nurse. She ask my age and I told her and she said your old. I am only 45. I waiting and said you just called me old she said yea for this surgery you are. Now I am scared for this surgery and debating on canceling tomorrow. -
I was scared to death and keep going back and forth. I decided to go through with it the way I was going my weight was going to kill me. At least I did something to help improve my health. I had it yesterday. I will be honest it hurt, I am nausea and I felt like an elephant sat on me. Today I have walked and the other things are easing.

I am so nervous but ready for this lifestyle change. I have waited a very very long time to see the smaller me that lives inside this shell. Prayers needed from all to get through this in the morning.

Bigmommatojacob replied to Bigmommatojacob's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank all of you for the reassurance. I have never felt old living by the motto your only as old as you feel. So I took that remark to heart I guess. I have stuck to my pre-op diet 100% as hard as it has been. She really messed up my mind set. But I push and prayed through and am still ready for surgery. -
Sleeved today and home

Easter Dinner.. I watched
Bigmommatojacob replied to amumes's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am pre surgery and believe it or not I cooked and cleaned. I told my husband after no more because I cooked for grown women that can cook. They just didn't want to. It is hard enough on a liquid diet then having to cook for others. But I made it and did not cheat. Five days and I will be sleeved. -
