Beautfully Flawed

Good morning everyone!! its been a long time since I’ve been online and this journey has definitely been interesting . I was sleeved on Aug 6, 2018 my highest weight was 336 lbs surgery weight was 298, current weight is 230♥️ I am so grateful for this opportunity, I wish I had done this years ago . I have so much energy, I really feel like a new person . I do have one issue ..... I’m having trouble changing my profile 😫, please if any of you can help please🤗

Yeah no meds , the only discomfort I had was the gas , and pretty much walking was the solution , I am definitely grateful things went so smooth, I just gotta get more energy , but I’m listening to my body and just resting when my body says rest , thanks for your well wishes

Hello everyone !! So I had my surgery on August 6 in San Diego , I’m feeling good but in the last couple of days I’ve been feeling a little tired. My incisions are basically healed and during this whole process I did not require any narcotics, only Tylenol , but at this point I have no pain/soreness . I have resumed my walking and stairs , I just need to build my endurance. I started b12 yesterday so hopefully it starts to work soon . I’m doing my best with my water and protein shakes , but I cannot tolerate the broth, so I’ll continue to work on that 😬. Btw I had the sleeve and so far I’m happy with the weight loss results , I’ll list my stats below Highest weight: 336 lbs Pre surgery weight : 298 current weight : 281 my goal weight is 190 ithanks everyone for all of your support Im 5’6

Hey also , I’m having some problems changing my profile lol lol can anyone help

Hey everyone !! I had surgery 8/6 will be in the hospital until 8/8 . I’m doing well , I also had a hernia in which doc repaired while doing vsg. I’m having no pain just bloated so I’ve been walking like crazy and I have to say I feel better, I’ve only had ice chips which I tolerated well , no real food since Saturday and I don’t really feel hungry , poor to surgery I would have been hangry. Last nigh I had some nausea but nurse gave me something for that and Tylenol which has all done the trick . The whole experience has not been bad and I’m grateful .

Thanks Ladies!!! im now following you all, we can support each other on our journey , I’m in San Diego anyone near?

Thanks!!! I’m just concerned about my endurance, I’m so proud of what I am now able to do . But I’ll focus on my healing and everything else will fall into place

OMG I meant the Deed!! Preparing for the Deed

So I’m preparing for surgery , my date is August 6. Yeseterday I went shopping and purchased things I will need at the hospital , as well as things I will need once I return from the hospital. Since I started this journey I’ve started routine workouts and I’ve done really well I have been able to drop 35 lbs, My concern is shortly after surgery my exercise routine will be reduced , and waking will be the only thing I can do for a while. Just wanting to know how long did you guys need to wait before you started cardio, stairs , fast pace walks. Please let me know ,smooches ♥️

August 6 for me as well, I’m preparing my house, throughing out all things that are no longer going to be a part of my life , getting bag ready etc etc, it’s getting real

Omg I was just texting my Bariatric friends the same thing I feel angry , over whelmed etc etc, I’m just tryin to grasp everything now , and like you I need for my husband not to divorce me . I’m thinking I may need to increase my work out, that always makes me feel better. Let me know what you come up with

Hey congrats on your surgeries , did you both have the sleeve ? I’m hsving surgery next Monday August the 6th . So if you don’t mind how much weight have you both lost so far

Hellllloooo, I am also a August 6 baby , I’m super excited starting to prepare my house for my new lifestyle , I’m in San Diego , Kaiser my provider, and I have decided on the sleeve. I’d love to here about your journey , weight loss, exercise, why you chose your particular surgery , I.e bypass or sleeve

Hello all!! My surgery date is August 6, I’m a little nervous , but a good nervous , I’ve been reading, going to my kaiser classes and trolling this site , so I’m full of knowledge and I’m determined to be successful. My surgery is in San Diego , anyone else having surgery in August , in San Diego ? Would love to chat, you know compare notes 🤩, I’m really interested in what kind of workouts you guys are doing, how often , how long etc

My Surgery is also August 6, I’m a kaiser patient in San Diego . I totally relate to the shame , It has often crossed my mind , how did I let it get this bad, that I’m having, Approx 80% o my stomach removed , but I try and stay mindful that every second is a chance to turn it all around . I’m going to take what I’ve learned in my 6 mos kaiser classes and continue to appy it to my life . And I tell myself I can do this 💪🏾
