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☀️☀️☀️ !!!

      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.
