What I Gained From Losing...



Recommended Posts

30 Pounds

For the first time in more than 8 months I can finally put on my wedding ring again... :smile: I think it was to the point that my DH thought I just didn't want to wear it anymore... Though he knew I was overweight I guess it never dawned on him that it was a "can't" as opposed to a "don't want to".

So what do all of you feel like you have gained since losing?

35 Lbs down and so far I know I am gaining my life back from loosing.. each pound I gain a little bit more pride in myself.. I gain the knowledge of a future with my husband, son, and family.. I get to look forward to getting on a plane and NOT asking for a seat belt extender or getting to go to a hockey game and not worrying if my butt will fit in the seat.. again I AM GAINING MY WHOLE NEW adventureos and healthy life...

I've gained some peace of mind to know that I will never have to watch the scale go up again.... And on an odd note, I lost my wedding ring.... My husband had it in his pocket while I was in surgery. I had to stay at the hospital and he somehow lost it from his pocket........... It broke my heart as I had the most beautiful diamond band..... It was perfect and expensive. We looked everywhere, but it is just gone... and no insurance when it was lost... So I'm waiting to get a bit thinner to get a new one. My husband would give me the world if I asked... So I have to be careful what I ask for... :smile:

AH heck Mrs Bubba.. Ask for the world :smile: My husband is the same way.. But I am just like you.. I will keep waiting until I find just the right one ... Mine are to big for me right now, but I still wear them.. I have to have something on my ring finger I am so used to it being there..Good Luck and best wishes..

Men can be turds.. But you know we love living with them so we have someone to pick on :biggrin: I am so happy you can wear.. prob only for a month or so and then you will have to get it sized down because your fingers will be skinnier :biggrin:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
