June 29th Bypass Surgery



Recommended Posts

How is everyone doing? I'm down to 195 pounds and starting to feel comfortable in my own skin again. Thank God! I am noticing that my hair is falling out more than it used to, so I'm going to include Biotin in my daily regimen of Vitamins. I also need to drink mor water! My skin is so dry when I wear black pants it looks like the insides of the legs have snow on them because my skin is so dried out! Oh well, it's all fixable. I have no regrets about surgery. I would do it again in a heartbeat, but I'm not going to!

I'm actually at the weight my drivers license says, lol. Which for the record I never told them that weight, they just picked one and put it down. But I'm down from my highest weight right at 100 pounds, and from my surgery down 65 pounds about. At 250ish right now.

Oh and I never used to get hit on... happened 3 times this week, lol. I guess a different aura is emitted from me when I feel more comfortable.

Hey there!! I'm at my half way point! Down 56 lbs since surgery! My dr actually told me I should be losing more. I was shocked. He said because I am so short (4.11) it will fall off slower. Grrrreat. But honestly I am very happy! I have not bought new clothes yet, just wearing belts but I'm thinking about jean shopping. With losing this weight I actually had a breast cancer scare but thankfully just a benign cyst that has probably been there a while. I haven't bought new bras or anything. I'm honestly kind of scared. I think I am still a 0-1x and I'm so done shopping in the "women's" section so will wait a bit longer.

I haven't choked, but vibe gotten things stuck as they call it. Only option for instant relief is to make yourself vomit.

      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.
