Scheduled for surgery today - hospital cancelled!
KindaFamiliar replied to lahhleslie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's a delay, not a cancellation... Your time is still coming... And on the big scale of things, a few days is nothing... Yep, it's a pain in the arse... But you can do it.. Really, you can... -
Well done!!! Keep it up!!!

Sounds like the famous "3 week stall"... Yes, I can see that you're not exactly 3 weeks out but you're pretty close... There are plenty of posts and articles around with information on this... I think there's one titled "Embrace the Stall" or something similar... Maybe that has some information you can use... Physical therapy may re-start things for you too...

PAIN! Advise please!
KindaFamiliar replied to usedtobeaskater's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Get a foam roller from your nearest department store... After you've exercised, put the roller on the floor and roll your thighs and calves with it... It'll hurt like hell but it gets all the knots out, helps with circulation and should ease at least some of the pain... If you want more info, go into a sports store/gym and ask someone in there... Good luck with it!!! -
Yep... This was my first ever surgery... I'd never been unconscious before... I was pooing my pants... I said goodbye to everyone the day before, just in case I died on the table... What a dickhead I looked the next day... Oh well, it happens... There's nothing at all wrong with being nervous... But don't back out... You've come too far now... And believe me.. The results are worth it... Good luck to you...

Losing Family and Friends
KindaFamiliar replied to charjsweet's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
@@charjsweet I concur... It's time to look after YOU... If she's not on board with that then so be it... Yes, the end of a realtionship of any kind can be a sad occasion... But pain passes... People come and go thru your life.. Your health is a life-long thing... Stick to YOUR guns... You're doing this for yourself... Good luck to you... Keep up posted... -

3 1/2 months and I'm eating like I used to~
KindaFamiliar replied to colleenrocks's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Short answer is this - Only you can help you.. You know what you're doing... You know the consequences of your actions... If you want to stop, stop... Get rid of all the s**t from your pantry/cupboards etc... If it aint there, you can't eat it... You CHOOSE to eat... So CHOOSE not to.. Good luck to you... I hope you get your s**t together and make your way thru this... -

I hope you're still able to steal her clothes tho.. You know, on those days where you just want to frock up... Or am I giving too much of myself away here... But seriously, what a great effort... Congrats to you mate...

Regretting it already..(day 1)
KindaFamiliar replied to ZombieQueen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
G'day @@ZombieQueen I'm genuinely sorry you're having a rough time of it. Remember tho, you've just had some serious surgery... That can leave you all kinds of f****d up!! All I'll say is that the pain passes... Yes, it's shitty when it's happening, but when it stops, you'll feel like it was all worth it... It's kinda a positive thing that the doc freaked out re the fluids... I mean, once you're back on your feet the fluids and the Protein are THE MOST IMPORTANT thing you'll have to think about for a few weeks.. Yep, it's some sucky s**t... But when that weight starts to come off, I'm sure you'll see the bright side.. Please, keep us update and if there are any questions you have ask them either in here or flick someone a private message.. There's so much support and knowledge in here... Take care.. Kinda... -

Good on you @@livvsmum No, I've not had a look at the pics... But you're game enough to do such a thing so I'm all for it... -
Hmmmmm @@Ashlegal At -14 I think you should throw $20 on for me... $20US is about $9000AU I think... Of course, I'll send you the cash if they lose...
