OMG, this just happened to me this week also!!! I joined the Onderland club also. My scale said 196. I have been ecstatic all week!! Congratulations! We can both do our dances for joy!
I watched as the miracle took place this week. I watched as my weight dropped daily until I no longer saw that 2 in the 100's digit. I am now 196 and haven't seen that 1 digit in the 100's in many...
June 22nd was my surgery and I just started feeling more flexible last week. Picking up my grandson without thinking has brought back some more pain lately. But just hold out. I know it sounds...
I can't wait for this day! Wow! We are so proud of you! Thank you for being a model for us to follow to onderland!
I love that saying, "spring in your step!" This is what I kept noticing about the two ladies at my school last year. They had weight surgery before school started last year and I watched their...
You will do great! You are in my prayers!
I am amazed at how the pounds drop daily. I know there will be some plateaus, but this surgery is just so wonderful. I had some pain a little longer than most, but it has pretty much subsided,...
Thank you for all of your positive thoughts. I am much better with the pain!
I called the doctor and he said since i am not having fever, vomiting or otherwise, he thinks it is the incision cut. I have my regular appointment tomorrow and will have him check it out more. He...
I had my surgery on June 22nd and continue to have pain in my lower left abdomen. I am running out of pain meds and am in constant pain (around a 6-7 on the pain scale). It is like a knife stabbing...
Thank you for the pics. That is soooo encouraging to those of us just starting this journey!
I am still having the pain on the left side. I asked the nurse if that is where they actually cut the muscle and tied it back and she said exactly. She said it will take up to 3 to 4 weeks for that...
I like your post. The key is to be thankful. I am very thankful that my insurance covered most of this and now it is up to me to do my part and follow the docs instructions. The pain will go and we...
I am 10 days out now. I am in a lot of pain in lower left abdomen. I am taking the pain meds frequently. Be grateful you are not in that much pain. I am on a full liquid diet, protein shakes,...
Its not that I don't like the shakes. I have Gladiator from Smoothie King strawberry and chocolate Myoplex. Both are tasty and I drank them with no prob preop. It is just I can't drink much at all...
I am going through the same thing. I hope there is some advice to help. I take three bites of protein shake and it hurts and feels like I am regurgitating. How in the world am I supposed to get the...
I just finished my surgery on the 22nd and am home recuperating. Thank God it is summer, so I am off. I sort of planned that. I won't have to go back until August 4th when I give a workshop, so that...
Well I finally made it. I had surgery on Wednesday. Doc said it went perfetly.[ had more nausea than wxpected and ended up with an extra day in hospital. But overall it wasn't as bad as I thought. Of...
I know it is hard, but don't give up. My surgery is on Wednesday and I thought I was going to die with the protein shakes. But I found a couple that was pretty tasty and visited Smoothie King for my...
Great news! Mine is Wednesday. You made it through the pre-op diet! I have almost made it and it was a tough ride. I pray it is smooth sailing for you from here! God Bless!
Amazing! How many weeks is that, 3 weeks?
This is encouraging! I am having my surgery on Wed., the 22nd. I am really believing this will go smoothly. I hope they use delotid for pain instead of morphine, however. What switch did they make...
Thank you for your answers. It does sound like it is better on the other side, newjoanie and ToDream. Sorry it wasn't for cajunbandmom. It sounds like it is getting better, however. I am hoping for...
Which is worse, pre-op diet or post-op? I am really faint from the pre-op diet and wondering how much easier the post-op will be. :confused:
