ANY APRIL SURGERIES?....

[QweenNique 44]

Had surgery April 9th was conversion from band. Band was removed December 11th 2013. I'm mentally hungry. Trying to get my Fluid intake is extremely hard. Just don't have the urge to drink. I feel good though in happy so far that I made this choice for conversion. Starting weight well before band 323lb banded 4/1/2013 got down to 230 in June of 2012 but spiked up to 258 in December when band got removed due to complications. Starting weight before vertical sleeve 263 now 243.... AND COUNTING DOWNWARD! :-)

I definitely try doing that but it usually happens around dinner time when hubby is cooking. However the whole family is somewhat eating healthy we don't have any whole milk just skim soy and almond in the house. However I think I am doing too much which has me worried I know I have lifted more than 10lbs numerous amounts of times I bend over due to the kids stuff everywhere and I have walked excessively since day 4. I am not in severe pain so no meds but I am hurting some. I just don't want a hernia at all. :-(

Be careful they removed a hernia on me when I was. Being sleeved my doc said I will have more soreness there I also snack on a few sunflower seeds @ a time I know I'm not suppose 2 but I chew very well & it don't bother me

I had mine april 15th. It's been a week. Best advice is don't let the nurses push you into eating. My second meal I was told to eat yogurt. Big mistake. Take it easy. Stick with broth. Take it slow and know it gets better. So excited for you! It's worth it. Lost 12 lbs already:)

Don't be afraid. I literally remember going into the OR and waking up in recovery. All seemed like one minute:) think positive thoughts. Best to you.

Thanks!!! It did seem like I only was sleeping for 5min. Good luck to you too.

April 24th is the day! I am suddenly nervous......I was fine until this evening, now I am like....what the am I doing! Questioning myself now.

[newoman 4]

I think it's normal to get nervous. When you question Yourself remember that there is a reason you are this far. There's reasons that made you even look into this surgery. Don't lose sight of the prize. Don't think about the details now. Focus on positive thoughts. It's over before you know it begins. You'll do great:)
