Recommended Posts

Everything is fine. Went to Doctors today and met with doctor and results from testing look good. Problem....? Well it's stress. Turns out not only is stress bad for you as well all know, but it's very bad after having Bariatric surgery. Need to keep the stress levels down and go from there. Meet with head doctor on Monday. Hope everyone is going well.

Kyle, you look awesome! Keep posting those pictures! You don't just look smaller, but you look so much happier and more ALIVE!

I had a great time yesterday. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pics taken. I have to make a point to do that soon. I hope to just get out and try some stuff on this week and I'll take some pictures in dressing rooms! LOL! I'm not used to being the subject of photos, so I don't really think about it. But I do need some progress pictures to keep me motivated!

Last year, I started a thread on here called "I can't wait to NOT have to..." and I see there were a couple "likes" to some of my old posts... I'm off to go re-read some good stuff!

Thanks tons Brick! I do feel so much more alive and happy, it's beyond unbelievable to me! I'm so glad that you had a great time, was sooo looking forward to your picture post! :/ You gonna post some soon :) I'm going to look at the threat your talking about.

Also update on my medical. I've put it aside all day, and did some therapy shopping...well therapy shopping is done and it's on my mind. I am going in for Endoscopy in the main OR of Albany Med on the 11th. They are going to put me fully asleep, not local, but in good old deep asleep land to look inside a bit more and possible balloon dilation. They are thinking I may have to go in and have another surgery to fix this so called problem. It turns out that my stomach may actually be flipping and twisting every time I eat and drink and I may not notice it but when I happen to puke due to food sensitivity this may be why. So what they would do in go back in laparoscopically and remove the the stables and staple the closing of my pouch to tissue or it's surroundings to stop it from happening. This situation is EXTREAMLY uncommon and EXTREAMLY rare, so please don't worry that it could happen to you. I just happen to be one of the possible lucky few this has ever happened to and I guess I've been the lucky one chosen to experiment on with the procedure. When I say lucky few, this is a newly discovered problem that had just been discovered and is very very rare. If it happens my hospital stay will be inpatient and 2-4 days, and they say I shouldn't be in as much pain or discomfort as I call it as when I actually has the sleeve. I personally am not even sure if I will allow them to due the procedure as it is so very new, I just don't know if I am comfortable with it, and I personally don't know if it is something that is %100 needed. I'm confident that whatever decision I make will be the best for me and my health. Not getting the procedure won't cause me harm, I will just have this excessive sensibility to food and beverages, which to be honest I am pretty used to at this point. Everyone stay positive and keep up your amazing work. Always remember everything happens for a reason and even for those that have struggles with this journey, they are for a purpose and it just makes us stronger. Hey, I got an amazing ring today that originally cost over $1,200 for $200! Maybe the purpose of this was for some therapy shopping and to find this amazing deal! Lol. For sh$ts and giggles I posted the pic of my new ring. Personally I think getting some not so of the greatest news was worth it! ;-) lol

Wow everyone is doing awesome. Brick how you feeling Hun? Kyle you look freaking awesome! Cherie good luck with all the paperwork, it's one hell of a ride but it's worth it. Right now I've been working my butt off and after eating crap for two days BC I was out of town... I actually lost weight and got over my stall. Go figure! I think I was being too strict. Oh well... Life is good and I have three upcoming tattoo appointments to show for that... Sooo excited.

I am going to get my cats portrait (I have one of my other cat as well). I am going to do my dad's senior picture portrait and I am going to get some cheetah prints on my shoulder with a inside phrase between my family. Maybe I can post a pic of my other cat tattoo

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
