And So Our Journey Begins...
MistyAnnMoon829 replied to MistyAnnMoon829's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
The mall was exhausting, we only went to 2 stores and all I wanted was to be home again. I managed to get 60g of Protein in yesterday and a pretty decent amount of Water. Moving up in leaps and bounds. I'm pretty good about drinking more. So for those of you who are dying to know...I'm down 10 pounds exactly!! My starting weight was 274.8 on the day of surgery and when I just weighed myself I am now 264.8, I haven't weighed that little in 2 years. The glue lifted off of one of my incisions so one is completely uncovered, another one is half uncovered and the other 3 have a tiny amount of lift. Once the glue is all lifted I will be putting on scar be gone adhesive Patches to see how to get rid of the scars. -

Sorry to hear you aren't that mobile yet, you'll get there! Just because I could walk didn't mean I wanted to, that's for sure!! Each day gets better! -

I have not taken a pain med since the first night I got home. I feel very good about that too. I'm actually taking liquids better throughout the day. -

Thanks for the positive thoughts! @@India Mark Today is my first time getting any Protein at all because my stomach did not even like Water, today is the first day I actually feel 90% normal. I have been definitely not getting enough water, but I did better yesterday than the day before and I will do even better today. I have a Premier Protein and it tastes pretty ok. Still no weigh-in today, tomorrow I will do my first one. The glue is starting to fall off on its own, I will be taking my first shower today and my mom, my best friend, and I will be going to the mall and to my favorite store: Charming Charlies to buy myself a post-op present. Let's see just how exhausted that I will be after a couple hours of retail therapy. I may just go into Torrid and buy the smallest size dress they have and hold it while I shrink down. This is exciting stuff. How's everyone else doing it? -

Misty, do you know what that person's name / handle here was? I'd love to read theirs, too. Oh wow it was so long ago, her handle was Janelle I think. I found it: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/303887-because-im-happy-clap-along-if-you-feel-like-a-room-wo-a-roof/?view=findpost&p=3505682&hl=%2Broom+%2Bwithout+%2Broof -
Day 2 post op and I feel better. I was being tortured yesterday so this is a big relief.

I saw someone else do this and I found it to be super informative. I'll start updating my weight in the next couple days too once the swelling goes down. -

To answer everyones burning question, yes this was an outpatient procedure, which I didn't mind since as soon as I could walk I wanted to go home anyway. My surg will keep us overnight if he feels there is any need, and the way I was feeling staying at the hospital would have been no help either. A lot of surgeons do this outpatient. I tried Jello yesterday and ate the entire day about 1 tbs of jello total, since my tummy said "oh hell no". I was pretty miserable yesterday but I woke up this morning and I feel 10X better. Drinking Water was terrible, now it is bearable. I know for a fact that I am not drinking enough. So that is my goal for the day, drink more water! I am nervous to try Protein drinks, I may wait another day and do it tomorrow since I only like cold protein and I don't think my tummy would appreciate it. -

I showed up to my appt at 12:30p and my appt was at 1p. I didn't get cut up until about 5p and I was home by 8:30p with some seriously intense gas pain in my chest. It was one of the worst night sleeps I have ever gotten. Took a gas pill not sure if it worked or if time helped. I dry heaved about 6 to 8 times last night and at the hospital which I was thankful for as it helped with the pain a bit. Woke up every hour to pee, it was exhausting. I know this surgery was the right choice but I feel like this was a bad idea. I know in a few days I will be fine and the pain forgotten. Going to try Jello in a bit because as much as I love Water it is a pain to drink. -

You should see if the owners of Bariatric Pal would promote you. I'm sure there are plenty of singles lurking on this site that are also looking for love in their personal lives. Edit: just saw your post about the dating, too bad it can't be posted multiple times, like in the mens area for example.

Just got my date!! July 24th!! Woohoo!! It was greatly unexpected that I would get my date today. I am so thrilled! -
Guess who just got their date?! This chick right here!! July 24th I lose a part of me (% of my stomach) that I'm confident I won't miss overly much and will result in my losing a bigger part of me that is a burden (my fat).
