Recommended Posts

Hang in there, I had my surgery 12-20-11 and have had times where my weight has stood still. I have had the unfortunate experience of throwing up just about everything I put in my pouch. My Dr did the scope three times. This last time he noticed that there may be an obstruction from a twisting intestine.

I am feeling better about surgery and am searching for my motivation as well. 40lb is fantastic, that is my Six year old you lost! Lol. 100 from the start is amazing! You have done fantastic. Take it day by day sip by sip. I am back at the basics. I am writing everything down that I eat, how long I exercise, what I drink and how I feel. I try to make very support group too. They are twice a month and I learn so much and leave so charged with positive energy for the next week. Hope the motivation bug finds you and me and we find out way to our goal :)

For sure, I am so glad I found this forum. I downloaded the app for my IPhone. I will be posting my successes as well as searching for suggestions. We can do it for sure. My six year old says her gym teacher says "you make your own motivation so let's move more today ".

Cool, I have the flu from oven to me by my wonderful son. My daughter and husband are sick as well. We are having a race to see who gets rid of our temperature first. Lol

Tummy us really hurting from surgery last week and throwing up last night and all day to day. This will pass and I am looking forward to the great weather that will be here soon. I am ready to walk and hit the gym again. :)

I spent most of yesterday not feeling 100%. Today is going to be a great day. 60 here today al well. My husband keeps saying this is not normal weather for Illinois and we are going to get hit hard with cold and snow. I think he is wrong!!!!! For our motivation let him be wrong.

Our new furniture came yesterday and I over did it with just having surgery wed to fix my tummy. I do plan on taking a walk today and enjoying the weather. Just at a slower pace. :)

Have a wonderful day and think one day closer to our goals. :)

i agree, hope he's wrong! im in Pennsylvania and so not wanting more crappy weather. i deliver the mail and have had enough with the cold...hehe. didnt get to walk today cuz had to take the middle child to his ped... he's got "swimmers ear"... dont know how he got that...ugh! but i did work up a good sweat cleaning the car inside and out...hehe. also boogied around Walmart waiting on his script. something i dont get to do when the hubby goes with cuz he cant walk fast...he's disabled. (nerve damage in his neck back in '04, the same side he had a tumor and like 40 lymphnodes removed back in '97) u'd think with all that drama in my life id have been thin...nope, i went the other way! we had our oldest son but were told no for anymore cuz of his chemo...haha...we had 2 miracle children later :) anyways i thought id just tell u alittle about myself without boring ya. have always had a weight issue but hitting 380 last yr was my highest and scariest! still a ways to go but 280 sounds alot better. my oldest son and my daughter (youngest) have weight issues too...this scares me! its so hard to see them struggle... and they see me but yet they refuse to listen...ugh! frustrating being a parent sometimes.

well...i hope everyone is feeling alot better today and u got to enjoy some warm sunshine.

      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.
