Got nekkid at work yesterday !



Recommended Posts

Those liquid pain meds they sent home with me caused me some SERIOUS Constipation. Be careful with taking the pain meds. I thought at one point that I was going to have to have my "blockage" surgically removed. Just...be careful.

@@Graciesmom04 The Pillow of Peace is an awesome thing.

i found out about on my last hernia repair.

I was just wondering how you were doing! Glad to hear things are good!

Thank you.

Everything is going really, really well.

Surgery has been very successful thus far.

I have zero complaints and am pleased with how easy the "diet" is to follow.

2.5 months since surgery and 6 months since enrolling in a bariatric pre-op program.

I haven't been taking many pics, sorry if these have been used in other threads.

If you are on the fence about having surgery.......don't be. DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!

Get the relief you deserve and do something fun with it.

Excellent advice.

I really had some serious "discomfort" from that very thing.

Glad it passed. I was fearful that I was going to wreck the hernia sutures.

You look amazing and amazingly different. I love seeing pictures of someone in basically the same position, same type clothes because it actually lets you see the real change. I am sure you can't get enough of people giving you the thumbs up. I hope I am able to have the follow through and results like this.

Thank you very much.

I wanted to update this thread because I wanted to emphasize how easy things get in just a short time after the surgery. I'm 2.5 months out and living with the sleeve is really easy.

Even with the hernia repair I'd do the surgery again in a skinny minute.

Nothing to it.

Dub, you've been a lifesaver for me today. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow and I've almost talked myself out of it 100 times. Reading how well it went for you and how you're eating normal foods (just less of it) and seeing how it looks like you feel so much better puts me a little more at peace.

Keep up the weight loss and the great sense of humor!!

You've done very well, indeed.

Kudos @@Dub

The rest, as they say, is a proverbial "cake walk" lol (Heaven Forbid!!!)

You've been an inspiration to many with your great attitude and determination, myself included.

Keep wearing those shades!!! Your future is now long and bright☀️☀️☀️ !!!

      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.
