6/12/14 - Sugery Buddies Needed

[jennyinky 38]

I was May 27Th. 45 married mom of a 16yr old. I am 5'10" and have been knocking on the door of 300lbs for a while now. 289-294 is where I have teetered for the last couple of years. Since my sleeve I am now at 267.5!! Lots of ups and Downs, tears galore, and lots of smell and taste aversions...

We have similar -stats though I'm a tad bit taller than you 5'10.5" and tad bit larger- my highest weight was 307. I lost 20 lbs preop and have lost another 10 since June 10 surgery. I'm 38 with 4 boys ages 9-16. Today I weighed in at 276.2, which I find miraculous!

I'm only 6 days post op but am coming along fine. Able to get my Water and Protein in after the first couple of days. Overall feel good and starting to have energy again.

Best of luck on your continued success.

I haven't tried chocolate yet. Although I was not much of a chocolate fan before.

Hello! I will have surgery on 6/11, I'm on day 3 I my liquid diet. I haven't lost as much weight as I thought. I get nervous and scared however; I can't wait for my end result.

I also had lap band/ hernia surgery on June 11..R u having any pain where they removed the hernia? And do u find it harder to get ur liquids Down? For me it's seems like all of my liquids are hard to go down. When I talk to my nurse she said its bc I have more restriction bc of the hernia removal..Please let me no how u r doing.

Hi cryss,

Let us know how endo goes.

You know, it was so simple! I was worried for NOTHING! Pretty quick too, and I was out and on roving patrol. My throat was sore and my uvula the size of a vw bug afterward, but I am ready to rock and roll on the 9th. I start my pre-op diet a week from today.

Cyruss,

Congrats and I am glad it was nothing much.
