Way to go YODA!

I know how you feel with the prices at the GAP. Mom in law sent me a pair of dress pants and "guessed" at the size. I took them in for a refund (bought at Penningtons in the plus sizes). I was SO EXCITED!

I have a specialist appt after Christmas and I want to have lost even more to show him that it was a good choice. Have a great week!

Hmmmmmmmm okay....I think I have to admit to myself that I might have buggered up my knee 10 days ago. Right after one of my workouts (two Tuesdays ago) when I got off the elliptical machine I took a few steps and got an odd painful spasm in my knee. I thought it was just like a "crink" ya know...and had to work it out....then over the next serveral days it would get a sharp stabbing pain when I moved it a certain way (but the pain wasn't constant....just sometimes when I moved it or bent it.....). So, I haven't worked out in 10 days (on purpose because of this) and I made a doctors appt. (but it isn't until 15 Dec) to have it checked out. Wellllllll, today after work I did a bit of shovelling (omigawd, we went from nothing to about 30-40 cm of snow today....*sigh*) and after I came in the house my knee started to hurt continuously....(ie. not just sporadically)....and I'm limping now. So, I don't think I can stay in denial any longer....I will go see the doctor tomorrow (squeeze in) and see what the up is.....cause something is buggered for sure.

I don't get it.....I have been using the elliptical for several months....it's not like I was new at it....ya know?

Anyways......hopefully all is well because it sucks not having been able to work out for the last 10 days.

DAMN %!#%^%%$&^&*^ snow!!

UPDATE:

Okay....so I woke up this morning and the constant pain in my knee was gone...(back to the sporadic) so I'm back in denial now! I'm not going to see the Doc today (I'm sure much to Mr Yoda's dismay); I will wait to see my regular doc at my appt on the 15th. Really though.....no use going if the pain isn't there when I go......!!!

Just happy it is gone.

GO FIND OUT!

To be honest with you my knees are kinda screwed up right now too. I was going to talk to my doc in Jan.

Do you think that maybe because we can't eat a whole lotta food that maybe we are lacking some kinda Vitamin for ligaments or cartlidge or something. Don't you think tht it should have been alot worse when we had soooo much more weight on????

Be careful, and take care!!! Let us know what doc says!

I hear what you are saying Cloe, my back pain got worse after i lost weight, here i am thinking it is going to get better and instead it gets worse, what the hell is up with that.

Don't wait too long to see the doctor Yoda, mister Yoda is right you know you should still go and get it checked now. Take care.

Maria :)

Hmmm, ya'll are funny. Okay, I did end up going and it turns out that it is probably a small tear in my cartilage (it should heal on its own over time)...I was given some prescription anti-inflammatories/pain killers to take. The only things is (DAMMMMIT) that I can't do any impact exercise......(&^$$#$#%^%$^$$# I realllllllllllllllllllly need to do exercise..........without it I won't lose.

*sigh*.

I know I know....I have to let it get better but it SUX.

Hmmm Yoda, torn cartilage does not repair itself. It may feel better after a while because the inflammation may subside but once a tear always a tear. I don't understand why Docs don't tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth!!!!! The good news is that I have torn cartilage in my knee and it hasn't bothered me in years. Don't despair, your knee could get back to doing all the activities you were doing without pain and without intervention.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
