- I am 2.5 weeks out. I have been feeling great, better than I have in years. So yesterday I decided to take my Golden puppy to handling class again after nearly 2 months off. She was in her first heat in April, and then I had surgery. Class is...
- Now that I am back at work and staying up all night, the cravings are hitting. I am tired and dying for a diet coke. Food not so much as I know it will upset my tummy. :) not sure why I can't out that same logic to diet coke. I know in my head...
- I play alot while at work to help pass the time. Always looking for a worthy opponent. My user name is yep.u.2. Look me up and let's go a round or two. :) I usally play in the wee hours.
- And 7 am feel like it is days away! Lol. How quickly I fell out of the habit of work. I will be two weeks out of surgery tomorrow. I feel great. I really hate the puree stage. Nothing tastes good, or if it tastes good it doesn't settle right. ...
- 9 days out from surgery and crossed the 300 mark for the last time. 32 lbs feels great, wish it looked different. It is kind of disheartening the 30 lbs on a smaller person is a hige difference, but for me not even noticeable. Oh well on my...
- I keep reading all the posts, "I had surgery xx weeks, months ago, and I have lost XX lbs." But what confuses me, is that some mean from the time the started the whole process preop and some mean actual weight from time of surgery. It makes a big...
- I wake up every day thinking I feel great and maybe should go ahead and try to head back to work. Then I do a few things, today it was only to walk across the pasture to the pond to fish for a few hours, and that is all I can do, I am dead! I...
- I move from clear liquid to full liquid today. I think I am ready for something with a little flavor. Hoping I have enough energy to make a run to the grocery store later. I am not struggling with pain and fatique to much, but I also did not try...
- I had a successful surgery yesterday. Still a hospital letting the staff wake me everytime I try to sleep. :) sipping and walking some. Pain is well managed. They say I should go home tomorrow. Anyone hear from Daveymac and sscirclegirl yet?
- I am starting day one of the 5 day pre op diet. Clear liquids.... Surgery on Tuesday. I have gone through the roller coaster of emotions, and pretty much settled into simply being resigned that this is the only way to go, and just simply has to...
- I know from experience that riding a bike when you are um...large, can be almost torture. It hurts your back, neck, butt cheeks, knees and arms. I thought I would share a little plug for Trek here. I have a terrible time walking, it kills my...
- I know that there are several people that are headed to surgery in the coming weeks, so I thought it might be nice to start a thread of what others have learned and the newbies might find helpful. So anyone have any great little tidbits for the...
- Is there any sugar substitute or such that is ok without causing dumping? How much sugar is too much? How can one eat yogurt in the puree stage without dumping? Yogurt has sugar right? Lol this sounds like I am already looking for the escape...
- It feels like a freight train out of control some days, and sludge moving others. Lol. I have five more days of eating in this lifestyle, five days for preop diet, and starts my new life. I am so looking forward to discarding that first 50 or 60....
- They called to today to tell me they were pushing my surgery out. No reason really given, just the surgeon needed. Now after thinking I was totally ready for this step, I am now kind of freaking out and thinking I need to just push it all off...
