Was 198.8 this morning

It’s been rough, I had my gallbladder out on April 2 and still can’t eat normal

When I try to eat Protein like we are supposed to first my stomach hurts and I get diarrhea sometimes almost immediately. So I have been eating more veggies (but then I am hungry) but it seems to be working I am down a total of 31 + pounds since aug 22

Can’t go back to the gym till I see the surgeon on may 22 but have been waking

Also will get my cpap for my very mild sleep apnea in 1 ½ weeks so hopefully that will

also help as my pulmonary doc says the sleep apnea could also be messing with my diet and metabolism

it’s been a long road but things are starting to look up--- won’t be able to wear the short shirt this summer but look out new years eve 2012

Thanks for listening

Congratulations on reaching your milestone! Sorry to read of your most recent surgery...I am also dealing with some unexpected complications, but I am taking one day at a time.

Hope you feel better real fast!

Jealous! Is you band too tight? My doctor says if I can't eat 3 oz of solid Protein I am too tight. If you can eat veggies it sounds like you can eat mushie foods (cooked veggies are kind of mushie). Taking out .1-.2 cc's will be better for you than keeping the band too tight and then not being able to eat protein which will keep you full longer.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
