Adjusting timetable...meh

Posted by Allycatwirt in Allycatwirt's Blog, 18 June 2013 · 0 views

OK...so the insurance co. sent me a letter stating that they need more information before they will authorize my surgery. This is apparently the 6 months Y'all were talking about, that I thought I had taken care of since I started this process over a year ago with my old Dr in my former town.
So...I have an appointment with Dr. Callery on Friday and we wi...

new to this blogging thing

Posted by amandajayne523 in amandajayne523's Blog, 18 June 2013 · 49 views

So it's been 4.5 months since my gastric bypass surgery. I have lost 76 pounds so far! I have gone from 3 blood pressure medications to 1. I am starting to fit into non-plus size clothes, which is amazing. While I am happy about all of this I feel that my weight loss has slowed down a lot and part of me is extremely scared that I am done losing weight. Wh...

Posted by mel1964 in mel1964's Blog, 18 June 2013 · 24 views

I need to start being more compliant and not so laxidasical about my food choices for only 2 1/2 weeks out!!! I wonder why I'm having to make myself throwup so often. Eating too fast, too much, not the right stuff - not good! I could use some food choice ideas for almost 3 weeks out - PLEASE!!

This Saturday I am running in my first 5k. Me. I can hardly believe it. A year ago I was on the couch miserable at 259 in z size 24 at 5 foot 2. This summer I am running in a 5k in size 9 running shorts at 155. I have been through a lot of changes this year and have had a few great off the scale victories but this one I am the most proud of.

Fruit of the Loom APPLE

Posted by KarensTurn in KarensTurn's Blog, 18 June 2013 · 65 views

One month since surgery and YES, i experienced a STALL last week, no point in whining about it, I expected it.  I know that every time this happens I need to mix things up.  Just having a LA FITNESS key FOB or driving by the Gym doesn't really count, but it sure is hard as the dickens to get myself there,  at least for the actual GYM part.  I go to water...

Thought I'd share some of my music

Posted by DavidPaul in DavidPaul's Blog, 18 June 2013 · 45 views

I teach, write, perform, and enjoy all kinds of music. A while back I finished an instrumental CD and wanted to share some of the songs. I indented to create something relaxing and reflective. The series is named "City of Dunkirk." It was a small French town in WWII that became a city of last resort. The allied army was in full retreat (before the US ente...

Shorts

Posted by Dani_Detroit in Dani_Detroit's Blog, 18 June 2013 · 39 views

I went to so many stores looking for shorts that were none boxy cargos but fit me. Nothing looked right. I have such big upper thighs! I have a size 40-42 waist and a 44 sized butt.  Ugh! So in the end I could some short leggings and dresses. What a waste of two days. All I have to do now is buy some food for the cooler and I have everything for the trip....

Six Week Post-Op Apt. Last Monday (10th)

Posted by godwyn in Chasing an Old Dream, 17 June 2013 · 85 views

So last week I had my six week post-op apt. I have lost an additional 21 lbs. in the last month since I saw the doctor last. Now all total I have shed a total of 43 pounds since April 30th or in 49 days, not bad. I'm not totally in an XL shirt, whether t-shirt or button up, and three days ago I actually bought (at goodwill, no point in spending too much n...

Home Sweet Home...

Posted by sarah_1978 in sarah_1978's Blog, 17 June 2013 · 71 views

Home recovery in the beginning was easy as I was staying with my mother for the first two weeks in order to be closer to my Surgeon.  She also lived across from the beach at the time which made for relaxing walks.  The first two weeks the basic diet consists of protein, protein,  protein...Meat cheese and eggs was the mantra for the diet,  That and it had...

Miracles

Posted by Lil Georgia Peach in Lisa's Brilliant Ideas... LOL, 16 June 2013 · 64 views

Well, this is day 16 that my Mama has been in the hospital. I have been living and eating on the run, spending all my days in the ICU with her. She is diagnosed with multiple things, but the worst of it is the pneumonia that has forced her to be on life support. Unfortunately she caught a bacterial infection that is only responding to one antibiotic just...

One day at a time

Posted by HotMOM in HotMOM's Blog, 16 June 2013 · 73 views

Well I have decided I just have to do this one day at a time...Everyday seems to be different with what I can tolerate...Some days getting my pills down is a challenge and then some days it is fine...I attempted eggs again and decided my new stomach is not a fan at the phase so we will give it a bit and try again.  Proteins still seem to be a challenge bu...

Tomorrow afternoon my Dad and Grandparents (Dad's parents) arrive. I don't know who is more excited, me, them, or the kids! My Mom tells me (she can't get off work) that Grandma has been calling several times a day, for the last week or so, with little questions about the trip, etc, yesterday she was trying to talk Dad into leaving at 4am, instead of the...

It seems...

Sometimes, these stalls really get to me. I am in ANOTHER one. OK, I am lifting weights - and I am not gaining...I am still in ONEderland - hopefully permanently...but it is so frustrating! I have now added a boxing regimen at home to my workout - talk about fun! It is surely a very vigorous workout...but it also gets out any frustrations! I am SO sore to...

Down 1/2 century!

Posted by Elaine M in Reclaiming my life, 15 June 2013 · 68 views

I went to college at UC Davis in California's central valley. This was in the late 70's/early 80's and we were the "bike town". I did not own a car until 1 month after I started working professionally -- everywhere I went, I went on a bicycle. [Grocery shopping, partying, to class, in the 100+ sun, in the downpour, etc... If I got bored with town and want...

Psychological Evaluation, Check that Off My List!

Posted by Njjenny62 in Njjenny62's Blog, 15 June 2013 · 70 views

Today I went for the psychological evaluation and it went great. The therapist wanted to make sure I understood the procedure I have decided on, what lifestyle changes are involved, that I had an adequate support system, possible depression after the procedure, and coping skills. We also discussed exercise, breaking the diet soda/caffeine habit before sur...

Prevpac is disgusting

Posted by kamadu in kamadu's Blog, 15 June 2013 · 46 views

Four pills twice a day, so a prilosec and three antibiotics in the morning and at night. I don't usually have side effects to pills, but these are kicking my butt. They leave an awful metallic taste in your mouth. Waking up, the first thing I do (after letting the dog out) is to brush my teeth to try to get rid of it. And the stomach issues...ugh. Horribl...

Chew, chew, chew!

Posted by Kate_N in Eating after gastric bypass, 14 June 2013 · 96 views

Before getting weight loss surgery, practice chewing your food.  Oh, you already chew when you eat?  Not the way you have to as a post-op!  It's recommended you chew each bite 30 to 50 times before swallowing!  Basically, chew until its so dissolved you feel like your chewing up your own teeth.  

I didn't bother practicing chewing properly before surgery...

My grandmother

Posted by Zachy4u in Zachy4u's Blog, 14 June 2013 · 73 views

I wanted to say that my grandmother has had the gastric bypass surgery for over 14+ years. From my understanding she has a ring around her stomach and the other part of the stomach has staples. Her intestines were never touched. She lost over 150+ lbs and has mantained them. She goes up and down 30 lbs. She is still considered overweight but is much bette...

Six Months After Surgery

Posted by ChristinaDixon in ChristinaDixon's Blog, 14 June 2013 · 107 views

Well it has been six months since I have had my surgery. It has been a roller coaster ride to say the least. I have been through a number of trying times. My health has been up and down over this period of time. There has been more then a few times, where I did not think I was going to make it through this journey. I am now at a total loss of 151 pounds....

Choices

Posted by MJreadyforaChange in MJreadyforaChange's Blog, 14 June 2013 · 48 views

I seem to be stuck on contemplating why people dont want to change after having surgery.

Life is about Choices - good and bad.

I made choices most of my life that included eating things that I knew were bad for me, even after doctors told me they were bad. I ate junk and sugar and anything I wanted, even though I had diabetes and high cholesterol and ot...
