    That's how I was. It took forever. I only waited like 7 weeks before I did it, but it was a long 7 weeks. I would have gone the same week, but I had to schedule mine around work. You will be so happy when your done. I had my Surgery January 19th, and I have lost 24.5 pounds. I did have one bad week and thought I would go insane. They call it a stall. I didn't loose for almost a whole week, I thought the surgery didn't work on me and that I would always be fat. Not true, started loosing again. I'm so happy, and it's been a long time since I have been truly happy. Watching my body change and form again is awesome. The funny thing that I've found loosing the weight is walking. I feel like I'm walking like a clod. My sister says I'm walking normal, but I feel like a clod.....lol. I guess I will feel normal at some point...lol just think it funny...
    Take care,

    Hi there. Yes you have to take you stitches out, but it's easy. You only have like 10. I did it a little at a time. There are these 2 tiny ones at your lower. Ab, and a higher on just below your left boob. I always showered before taking any out so that if the skin was stuck in any way, it would all be soft from the shower and then they were a breeze to take out. It's really not gross or scary.
    Take care,
    Lisa

Found a Leak - Really Sick

by aldugan on 07-28-2015 at 11:33 AM
I know that it's been a while since I've blogged, but I haven't been feeling the best and have now been in the hospital for a week with a leak. They are thinking I've had the leak the whole time and infection set in and that is why I became so sick last week.

If anyone is having pains when they eat and have trouble keeping food down please go get checked out. I was dehydrated and my potassium was dangerously low!

I was really weak, no energy, and it got to a point

Ghrelin Gland vs. PMS

by aldugan on 07-07-2015 at 05:25 PM
Beginning to wonder if the Ghrelin gland was removed. This might be a little TMI, but this is my PMS week and before surgery all I did was eat and then when my period came I didn't want anything to eat…I feel the same way. I was expecting to not feel this way since 85% of my stomach was removed a little over a month ago. I have even craved sugar, which is what I did before…especially chocolate.

This really scares me because I know of a person that works with my mom and she had the

Concerned…NEED FEEDBACK

by aldugan on 06-29-2015 at 07:31 PM
Okay, so I posted in the forum about nibbling all day and someone posted back that what I was doing was very bad. Now I am really concerned!

In the mornings I get up and eat either cereal with skim milk or grits. After I have finished my breakfast is when I fix my protein drink (takes me all day to drink,so I sip on it all day, but if I drink my protein I don't get my water in). Then, for lunch I eat either grilled chicken, vegetables, gumbo juice, mac-n-cheese bowl, etc. and the

Protein App

by aldugan on 06-28-2015 at 02:21 PM
I know I haven't been on in a few days, but I haven't really had anything worth posting. I've been doing good; went to PCP Wednesday and had blood drawn, haven't heard back, so I guess all is good (no news is good news). Will go back next month for another follow up.

I downloaded an app to track what I'm eating. The app only tracks my calories and not my protein….looking for an app to track my protein. Noticing that I'm getting less than 600 calories a day in. I don't always drink
