Update from my 1 month doctor appointment.



Recommended Posts

Went to the doctor today ......great appointment .....Dr. is thrilled with my weight loss 32 pounds in 30 days and was told that the reason I was having so much difficulty with pureed food is because I was not taking my priolosec. Dr. says that I am to proceed on to solid food .....sometimes we called this the mushy phase but he said I cannot use my blender .....I want so much to use it but he said I have to get over the fear of eating real table food..today for dinner I had went to Taco Bell to feed my kids and I got a side order of pinto Beans with cheese it was amazing..... just a few bites and i took my tome and it went down just fine ....I'm so much happier :-)

Other NSV's

I was definitely told to get the on uninjury Protein just like you folks said

I was told that the changes in taste that I had experienced was coming from being in ketosis

I was told that my sleeve is functioning 100% correctly

I was told that my calorie levels were acceptable

I was told that working out with an excellent thing for me to do and to continue to do as that would support lean muscle mass

I was told that for pain I could take tromadol and I no longer needed to be concerned with ibuprofen if I did not want to

The last great win was that my gallbladder medicine is going to be converted from a capsule to a liquid and Felipe is thrilled!

I feel much, much, much better!!!!!

Thanks for all of the great support everyone!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
