np @@Brigette good luck on your journey

I'm 35yr. Old mother of 3 my HW: 280 SW: 260 CW: 254 today 26DEC14. The smallest I ever remember being was 160 right out of military boot camp. Weight has always been a struggle my entire life and I can not wait 2 get out of the 200 ' s club again..... I've always been very active even a year before the surgery prior to my injuries I was running 5ks. And could only get down to 220... to be honest maybe the injuries were best. ... I was running long distance not fast but long every day from 3 to 8 miles... became a adrenaline junkie it was funny to me because I never loved running until long after the military but at this point I did I really love waking up just to run I got injured never once had I ever considered the surgery I was afraid of gaining it back and I was afraid of what it would cost never really gave it much thought until I was injured. Once I was injured I knew if I didn't do something the fact that I was going to be sitting iwould blow up so that's when I begin to do all the research I could on surgeries and doctors my surgery was Monday it is now Saturday and I do not regret it they want to the hospital had to be the worst so far all I did was Moan and sleep with all the pain meds... The only other thing that really hurt in the hospital was those shots in the stomach they give you I learned that cold water was really hard to drink and kind of painful first day back most useful information I can say is I cannot sleep unless it was inclined I had to prop myself up on pillows otherwise it hurt I also noticed that I actually gained weight the first 3 or 4 days with all the fluid until I did walking which made my stomach go from hard to soft releasing the air and then the weight started to come down I am only a few days out again surgery was Monday it is now Saturday and I'm down to 254 for starting at 260... I think I even got up to like 266 the third day of surgery with all the bloating... I am drinking a bottle of Isopure zero carb protein fruit drinks has 40 grams of protein and I babysit one all day long I have slept a lot its not that easy drinking water but I up my water every day water seems to allow me to suck in the most air I'm just kind of painful but is getting better.... Every evening I increase my walking a street or so more and that seems to help a lot.... Yesterday was the first day that food actually smells good to me not tempted to eat it because water hurts sometimes just enjoy the smell kind of wanted it but knew it would hurt it still is very tender at my incisions if I step up somewheres or bend over or even want to fast so I have been pacing myself I see my doctor Monday coming up the 29 for my post op appointment I'm going to ask as many questions as I can I am looking forward to not feeling the incision pain and being able to do a little more physically.. I still have a torn ACL that I will have to have surgery for later so my walking will always be limited until then but I can still do some and hopes to reduce my weight a lot before my ACL surgery that is not planned yet the only other thing weird was sometimes I get a weird taste in my mouth I think its from just drinking and not eating anything the only thing I have eaten last night really needed it was jello sugar free the first few days I could not eat more than a bite or two last night I had about four or five I was desiring something other than liquid and that satisfied me I am an eager beaver for my results even tho loosing the boobs and butt makes me nervous lol i know silly... but ready 2 do my squats 2 keep some intact... I am attaching lists i used pre and post op if it may help anyone..

My dr had the stool softners on the list 2 by things for the house 2 have when I got home .... here's a few lists i made from hers if they help anyone

Are there any federal insurance companies that cover this? I'm newly sleeved 22DEC14. But I know my "federal Nalc cigna" won't cover it.... just thinking of who I can switch to when it is time?

Ppl seem to have different requirements. .. I was only told clear liquids the day b4 surgery only

@@Elode thanks I did these anxiously awaiting my surgery date going over all the Dr.'s material tks 4 adding me as a friend I haven't figured out how to do that yet?? How do you? On here

@@galadriel535 I had my sleeve on 22DEC14. Just 6 days ago an i had my 1st BM. Today with the help of taking 2 stool softners. Prior 2 bed last nite....

I would say start with the green one apple melon... it doesn't have an after taste an seems 2 be the best I've had so far. .. @@ShannonbKSU
