hey how are you feeling?

How are you going Hun? You have gone a bit quiet, hope all is fine? I am finding it a bit hard myself lately, so not posting as much either....sends hugs

Hi. Still not post op yet, I am actually going to hand in all of my papers tomorrow and then I can finally get a surgery date, possibly August 5th or 7th but I hope for August 15th, the ending of my classes. I have one question, If I was to have surgery on a Friday, would I be able to go back to class on Monday? Sounds far fetched I know. I'm just soo eager to have this surgery already. Would you know anything about Hypothyroid as well? Seems my thyroid levels are a little low when I took my blood test. Do you think the Surgeon will postpone it now? I'm hoping he wont

Hi Ro Dean 20kg is = to 44lbs or 3.1 stone..Ive lost that in the 3 weeks pre diet untill now.11 days post op..I have exercised walking around my mums home when I was caring for her and at home I do laps inside my house..Its small but I walk back n forth up my hall into my kitchen and back.Post op is good..your through the fear leading up to the op..and on the other side you look ahead.The op can have complications..but on a scale of 1 to childbirth pain and hysterectomy this was a minor op..I could have died or had complication g8ving birth 5 times over...So pleasr try n be strong..enjoy the journey..take each day..11 days pre op you feel really positive about the changes..love ♡♥♡♡

You are awesome!! I am sorry but I don't know how much a kilogram is as opposed to lbs. I think its more right. So you are down more than 20 lbs in10 days!!! Incredible, you are true inspiration !

Lost 20kg now in about 6 weeks..going good..still working on eating enough to get energy..All tummy and bowel issues settling down.wounds nearly cleared up..10 days post op..very impressed..only problem is Ive lost my breasts..been searching all morning for them..
Lol...Thpught Id try those artificial things I here the teens call chicken fillets.I wouldnt bother exept I was severly pear shape,going into this op..and the two growths on the pear may have looked cancerous,so to speak,but they were the defining point to male me feel I stood out from the crate of pears.

Now they are GONE...And I KNOW You are all supportive out there in sleeve n sleevless land..but I doubt ypud lone

im 13 days out so not to much a head of you. im feeling wonderful. I hope you get some energy back soon!! Thanks for the welcome. Your welcome to add me as a friend if you would like

Hey girl hey, Earlier today I went and got the Chest xray, ekg and blood test. Next week I do the UGI and then I will find my surgery date. Are you feeling hungry or are you o.k? I'm a little worried about that cause I'm an eater...but I will look at my pics every time I want to munch up haha. Hope all is well

I am the same way.. pear and everyone thinks my head is now the size of a cherry and the rest of me looks like an old wrestler.. flabby and still full.. We just need to keep on keeping on.. lol It can be so frustrating at times.. especially the stalls... I have to push myself every day to say "just cool it.. it will come" Keep us updated on your progress or just holler if you need a shoulder.

Hi everyone..Im home...7 days post op....I am not a sweet tooth so couldnt face the special sweet juices and jellies the hospital gave me..by day 5 I just orderd,green tea..peppermint water for the gas and the broth..the broth was a week tasting stock cube,same flavour each day...I felt really weak...So came home..boiled up a whole chook....with organic green vegies,onions and herbs from my garden..himilayan rock salt.I strained all the chicken an vegies out and have sipped the broth..twice today I have got up to half cup of the clear broth an just had 1/4 cup thin low fat lo sugar custard.I do get air bubbles gurgling and bowels not working great.Funny thing,is I lost 11kg pre op in 3 weeks..been in hospital a week..drinking hardly anything and came home the same weight..but look thinner..not sure whats happening..feeling very weak..have to start vitimin tablets,iron calcium n b12,dietician wants me on..

Shaquayla, are you home yet? Pray that you are being in the hospital in no joke.

Hi. Thanks for your post, I read that you had the surgery how are you feeling? I know it's going to be a rough few weeks but once you get the hang of it it's all going to be worth it.
Hang in there! I will be in the same boat soon enough and would love to hear all your wonderful journeys
