  1. In the past three weeks, I have increased the intensity and days that I work out, going back to the basics when making food choices. My issue is not sleeping well and replacing my boredom with night time snacking. I have begun to sleep a lot better. I also just finished watching a video that someone suggested on this forum of someone 5 years post op. It was very helpful. Regained some of the weight I lost, at first it was not a big issue because my main reason to have the surgery was to be healthier. But if I looked better in my clothes that was the cherry on top of the icing. However, over a month ago, I realized that I feel disgusted in my body. I have had large breast since my teens, at average weight. However, now I feel like I can't breathe when I have my bra on. It also did not help that I could not get the skin removal surgery, as I keloid , so the Nurse at my consultation informed me the doctor would not perform the removal surgery. I have also decided I will re join the support for bariatric surgery which meets twice a month. Overall I am still happy I had the surgery. Still off all the medications and no longer a diabetic, therefore I want to keep it like that. My life depends on it. I will be checking in more frequently to get support and give support. Now off to bed, I have an early morning appointment with a client.

    Thank you so much, Cheta was spayed yesterday and seems to be doing really well. Giving her pain medication twice daily (have to hide the doggie chewables in a slice of ham) and trying to keep her calm. Thank you so much for asking! My little male Reggie in my signature is still missing though

    Hope all is well with you and your recovery!

  13. Hi Kimpossible318,

    I have only one day of liquid diet the day before the surgery. I am very excited about the surgery. I have been so excited that I had to pull myself from this forum and let myself enjoy my per planned trip to Canada. I had a wonderful time. I came back home yesterday and now back to the support of the forum!

One year post op

by healthier86 on 11-22-2014 at 03:47 AM
I am over one year post op. I had my one year follow up appointment with my surgeon yesterday. I took my time scheduling it because the drive is almost 2 hours away from my home and the drive is hectic on my body sitting still that long. Dr. Um appeared proud of my weigh loss, and my I glowing labs results. My ac1 reflects that I am no longer an diabetic. I was diagnosis with diabetes 14 years ago and I am glad to lose that title. He would like for me to maintain my current weight. I am still

Greetings from a over six month post op

by healthier86 on 04-05-2014 at 11:21 PM
I have not blogged or posted in sometime. Manny changes at work, which makes it more stressful then normal. I have had a few stalls over the last two months. The weight is coming off slowly. I have ten pounds to go to reach my doctors goal and 15 to reach my personal goals. I accidentally bought a medium sizes leggings for JC Penney months ago. I was finally able to get into them this morning. I think another 5 pounds will make them fit even better! I hope to reach the doctors goal by my daughters

Re: Who is that woman in my mirror?

by healthier86 on 02-19-2014 at 07:38 PM
I really like looking in the mirror again, I even look sexy wearing my reading glasses! Lol 5 months post op, down 54 pounds since released from hospital. Six more pound down and I will be at the weight I was when I met my dear hubby so many moons ago! My grown daughter hugged me and committed on how skinny I felt. She cannot remember when I weighed 135 my lowest since after she was born. Work has been keeping me busy, I use to get on this website several times a day. However, I been really tired

It has been some weeks since I blogged. Busy at work and applying to go back to school for this fall. I was given a good compliment at work from of my colleague she said that she sees a pep in my walk, that I looked more confident. She herself had the surgery and looking healthier, she was already beautiful! I am still suffering with severe constipation, although taking stool softners and fiber as instructed. I go maybe once a week. Exercising has slowed down due to surgery I had right after Christmas

Greetings

I hope everyone is enjoying the New Year! I am glad the holidays are over. I did not gain or lose weigh in about the last few weeks. The holidays were harder than I thought. I also had minor surgery the day after Christmas in a very sensitive area and it is still healing, so no exercise. Some of the stitches will come out this thursday, so hopefully it will help. I bought some new sweaters and was able to get an xl in them. I am feeling cuter and cuter! Lol I am even taking selfies.
