    chrissynena - hi I saw your message on the blog... as a health care professional it worries me that 2.5 months out from surgery you are still having infection issues - where did you have your surgery done? Do you feel these infections are due to the technique? Something you did or didn't do? Or just one of those "things that happen?" Thanks for your advice. Karen

Holy cow....almost 6 months out!!

by chrissynena on 01-31-2012 at 03:20 PM
I can't believe it has been almost 6 months since my surgery (almost 4 since my last post whoops). I am not going to hit my goal of 100lbs down by my 6 month surgiversarry, but that's ok since I made it to 85 (and still counting). I didn't loose as much as I wanted the month of December, but still did okay.

We just came back from Hawaii, there were 8 of us altogether, one of them I had just met. I was having a conversation about my surgery, the weight loss, the difference between

Wow its been awhile....

by chrissynena on 10-07-2011 at 09:06 AM
It's been such a long time since I have post anything. I am now 7 weeks out from surgery, and have lost 45lbs!! I am now down into the 270's. I am so excited. I told the doc at my 6 week check up last week, I don't know why I didn't do this in the first place (as oposed to the band I had). He laughed. The only thing I dislike is that I have horrible heartburn again (which I used to have before I was banded 2 years ago) and sometimes acid reflux when I sleep. Nothing that medicine wont cure lol.

So I went back to work Monday. I work in a fast paced retail environment with 12 hour days (luckily its 3 on 3 off). The first morning was really rough. I hit the door running when I get there, so by 11am I started to get all hot and sweaty, standing up after bending over was making me dizzy.....then I realized that I hadn't had anything to drink (except my protein drink on the way to work). I took a break, sat down, drank some water and the rest of the day went smooth. Then the next day went even

16 days post op

by chrissynena on 09-02-2011 at 01:59 PM
Its been 16 days and the "head hunger" has hit me hard. It's a constant struggle to not go back into my old habits of eating junk, thats how I got this way in the first place. I haven't went back to work yet, I took 3 weeks off (just because I could) but am now kinda of regretting that decision. At least work would have kept my mind off food.

I am reading that if I drink too fast that will stretch my stomach out? I dont remember my surgeon ever telling me something like
