June 29th Bypass Surgery

[smrogg 49]

So I've lost a total of 33 pounds since the prep diet. My one month pre-op appointment is tomorrow and I'm hoping the doctor says I'm doing well. I'm 2 pounds away from pre-pregnancy weight with my second child and 14 pounds away from pre-pregnancy with my first child. Seems like such a long way to go, but I know I will get there and then some!! How is everyone else doing? I'm getting tired of the same old foods. chicken meatballs are gross to me now. Hope you all are happy with your progress so far.

I was just telling my hubby how I get sick of food so easily now. It's actually a blessing. I will crave something, have a bite, then never want it again. We were just at red robin and I was dying for a burger. After two bites I never want red robin again.

I'm 27 lbs down. I'm happy and looking forward to eating fresh fruit!

I'm the same way Kel, I'll crave something so bad, then once I have a taste I'm good. And I'm down about 25 pounds from prep diet ... but about 65 down from my highest weight last year.

Awesome!! I'm so happy for both of you! I had a turkey burger and I don't think I will ever eat one again. Disgusting! I really want some juicy watermelon!

I went out to eat tonight for the first time since surgery. I was in the car saying what I was going to order and how good it was going to be. Well... It was a totally different story once I got there. I ended up eating salad a tiny piece of bread and I ordered some shrimp( grilled) and I only ate one. It was horrible!!! At one point in my life Olive Garden was great, but now... Eww!! My aunt said I hate you cant eat.. I'm saying to myself thank god I can't because literally I would have ate a whole plate of Shrimp Scampi and a salad, and a possibility of a dessert...

I am down 22 lbs since day of surgery. I am down 91 since highest weight.

[Arianna0228 25]

Actually I lied, the about 25 pounds down is from day of surgery, not the preop

Oh my gosh... Olive Garden! My nemesis. chicken fettucini Alfredo! Had that as my last supper before pre-op diet. I have no desire for it as of yet.

So every time I eat now I'm either nauseous, throw up, or feel really crappy afterward. Ugh!!! I don't want to eat!!!

[kell778 46]

My dr gave me a pamphlet that says that we will go through phases like that. But it sucks so bad, I'm sure!!

[smrogg 49]

I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow. This needs to stop. I've been looking forward to it for weeks now and I don't want to feel crappy. The entire time ????

I have gone through the same thing. Now on top of that I th I no I have an impacted bowel. Will be making a trip to the hospital this afternoon.

Losing weight problems: I sleep on my side and now have to sleep with a pillow between my legs because a parent of all places my fat on my inner knees wanted to go away first. Now the bones of my knees hit each other when laying down and it hurts. Haha

[kell778 46]

That's a decent problem to have though ????

How's everyone doing?!?!
