Support Group

Mar 08, 2011

Last night I went the the Durham WLS support group in Whitby.  It was really good...lots of info, success stories, tips and advice.  Most people are positive and happy with the results of their surgery.  There were people waiting for their surgery dates...a couple who are only a few weeks out...many who are several months to a few years out.  They look great!!  And for the most part, they are happy with their choice to have WLS.  Almost all spoke of frustration about their need for plastic surgery.  Some very depressed about it...Gave me something to think about...as much as I don't love to exercise, I know I need to...everyday...and not that it will be magic and that I won't have any skin issues, but I need to do the very best that I can to keep the skin tight as I lose.

Day 5 on OPTIFAST and still going well.  Little bit of diarrhea, but I can handle that.  Looking for pineapple extract to add to vanilla OPTI and with coconut extract...WHAM...pina colada, baby!!!!!!!!!! 

My scale is finally weighing me...329 this morning.  At pre op last Friday I was 345...now, I know that there is obviously a discrepancy between my scale and the scale at the hospital, but I am moving in the right direction...down, down, down I go
