What Is Your Biggest Fear?
kemahaney replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
That is normal. Right up until I rolled into the operating room that I was having doubts. My mom told me to relax and that it was normal. -
What Is Your Biggest Fear?
kemahaney replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Mine: Stretching out my stomach and regaining. Not being able to lose what I want to. I moved to a new state and will be seeing a new surgeon this week. I haven't lost a pound in a month because of the move and the stress level. My body is changing shape I can tell but the scale is kind of stuck. I also slid into bad habits of not writing down what I eat which in turn sometimes I ate more or sometimes less. I have issues getting calories in because if I am not hungry I just don't want to eat and have to make myself do it. -
I also live in FL and when it is 70 degrees I am STILL cold. I am wearing fleece and sweat shirts when most people are in shorts. The humidity bothers my allergies...but I am still cold.

kemahaney replied to stasy-prime's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
You will find it tastes different and you may not want it. Some things that I liked before now the taste is SO different that I have zero desire. -
1week post, how to deal with food cravings?
kemahaney replied to NYLux12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to take predispone for a month and it didn't make me hungry just really thirsty and hot all the time. I drank so much water during that time. The first few weeks after surgery I had zero desire for food. Nada. I still don't and tend to not eat if I don't track. My head hunger is just that I get pretty sick when I eat things I shouldn't even chicken makes me ill. My meals are boring but I get my calories in. -
Has anyone experience losing too much weight too quickly?
kemahaney replied to koos's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lose an average of 10ish a month and I don't compare myself to others. I work at it just as hard as other people do. I am active but don't hit the gym everyday. I have zero desire to spend 3 hours at the gym. I also ride horses and when in active training mode I do trot sets for 40 minutes that is a posting trot sweating and burning calories. My Protein level was to get to 100. Now the nutritionists want me to get 100-120. -
Just follow the advice it will come off. I average 10 lbs a month. 2 lbs a week and I am fine with that. I drink 5 calorie juice (cranberry) which my nutritionist happy with. Also Trop50 which is only 50 calories. Other than that most juice is overly sweet. Do you journal in Myfitnesspal?

I am being sleeved on 12/21/2015 – would it be a BAD idea to go the family Christmas get together? (They don’t know I am getting sleeved)
kemahaney replied to Scottyd1264's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wouldn't go at 4 days post op I was still in the hospital due to a minor complication. -
Anyone waffle between getting the surgery or not?
kemahaney replied to heidikate's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I waffled back and forth right up until they wheeled me in. It is scarey to think about. I should have done this sooner. My energy is up. My depression has gotten better. My asthma well it is allergy time. The biggest difference is my right leg has stopped getting numb so quick. -
Last day off before returning to work. Any suggestions ?
kemahaney replied to Dub's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only took 5 days off during when I was in pain killers. I worked from home and took a few naps. I was on a tight deadline and had to get something done by the 1st. About week 3 I felt human again and went into the office one day. The biggest difference for me I only take 1/2 a Tylenol PM at night. If I take more there are issues in the AM getting up. Also I get light headed so I know my blood pressure has dropped...it was never out of control I just have issues with sodium and Water retention. -
I get them when I eat to much. They pulled my gall bladder out at the same time as the sleeve. Mine was full of stones.

Smell of food makes me ill.
kemahaney replied to JohnnysGirl0424's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There are days that smelling food makes my stomach churn and it is effort to eat. I mean living on Proteins shakes and a few other things. Than other days I smell something and it makes my body go I miss food. Lol I just go with the flow -

kemahaney replied to Andi2522's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

One of my biggest fears since I had surgery is..
kemahaney posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not stretching out my stomach. I eat like 3 or 4 bites of dinner and stop. Usually about 2-3 oz maybe. I just am scared about that. Also what the heck is slider foods? I am not going to find out I just kind to know what to stay away from. -
Well.......I'm seeing the 3-4 week stall. Interdasting !
kemahaney replied to Dub's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Some weeks I have a huge drop 5+ and than the next week it will get "stuck". I drink my water and do what I am supposed to. I feel amazing and the scale will come. I weigh daily because it doesn't affect my brain. When I do official weigh in's monthly that is when I will have to deal with the muscle mass loss or gain. My first 4 weeks I gained 6 lbs of muscle. They were thrilled that I built muscle. -

3 days post op with 100.5 fever
kemahaney replied to all4him's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Call surgeon now. It could be many things don't wait. -
I go with the flow and make minor changes. Most times I need to eat a little more or drink a little more. That shakes things up enough the scale moves. It is hard when not hungry because my natural thing to do is not eat but I have to.

No it isn't just RNY thing. I was and now worse with regular sugar. I found out in hospital with boost. I drank it and 15 minutes later I was sweating and wanting to die. I oops and did it one other time. Haven't touched it since. I mean nothing. The nurse said it does happen and depends on the person. I am not going to keep trying since sugar is bad anyhow for me to keep it off long term.

I sleeved on 9/22 which happened to be my 44th birthday. Divorced no kids. SW: 236 CW: 209ish GW: not sure. I still do puréed due to having gastrophresis and being overly cautious.

Emotions do run crazy. My mom went home a few days after I had surgery and I bawled my eyes out. I laid down and snuggled with the dog. He always makes me feel better.

Approvals with BMI history under 40?
kemahaney replied to fluffytofit's topic in Insurance & Financing
Mine was 39.5 on my pre-op. I did have a few co-morbidities that counted towards me getting it. Having extreme asthma and terrible lymph edema. Also neuropathy in my right leg and it had caused a few injuries from it. Also before surgery I had a couple meals with high salt. Since I retain Fluid like a sponge that was non-issue. -
