6 weeks Post-Op
Sep 29, 2009
Well, as of today I am 6 weeks post op and I am officially down 36 pounds woohoo!!! I had my check up this time last week and I had lost 28lbs in 5 weeks. So since last Tueday I have lost 8lbs. Which is AMAZING considering that I had been at a stall for 3 weeks, The doctor asked me if I had been weighing myself everyday after I asked why am I stalling so early? I answered "yes" because it is exciting to see if I had lost anything and very disappointing to find out that I hadn't for 3 weeks. So he just told me to stop weighing myself everyday and just weigh about every 5-10 days and the weight will start to fall off again. Because not seeing results I was stressing myself out and in return hindering my weightloss. So I took the advice and things are rolling again!!!! Everything is going great and I still have no regrets what so ever!!!!

UPDATE!!!
Sep 05, 2009
Well, where to begin... my husband and I moved into our house on Tuesday... FINALLY!!! But when we were packing up everything and loading it up on the u-haul (actually him and some co-workers) I was feeling guilty that I wasnt able to help. So I picked up a drawer from our dresser and begin to carry it down the stairs of our apt. and silly me wasn't paying attention and I missed the last step, only to fall on both of my knees and somehow managing to break my big toe!!!! Talk about pain!!! I think I had more pain breaking my toe than I did with any part of my surgery. Well anyway, so after unpacking everything and finding my scale I stood up on that thing and WOW!!! I had lost 3 more pounds... yay ME!!! Well, I am still having to force my protein, I try and get as much as I can with my meals, because my protein shakes are just killing me. They were so good before surgery and now they are WAY TO SWEET!!! But other than that everything is AMAZING!!!! Hope everyone is doing GREAT!!!

1 week post op
Aug 25, 2009
Well as of today I am officially 1 week post op. So I thought that i would update everyone with my info.... One week before my surgery I weighed 281.5 and then after pre-op liquid diet and bowel prep I got down to 271.5. Day of surgery i weighed 271.5 and as of today I officially weigh 269lb!!!! I am just amazed that in two weeks of pre-op and post op I have lost 12.5 lbs!!! I hope that this pace keeps up
This process has definetly been a trying but amazing process. As of today I have very little pain and when I do have any pain I find that just walking for a little while seems to work it all out. I have my post op visit with my doctor tomorrow, so we will see how they say I am doing. So until then I will just keep sipping and walking!!!!

Betadine reaction
Aug 23, 2009
Has anyone had a reaction to the betadine that the use to prep before surgery? I had my surgery last tuesday and had a severe rash form due to the betadine and the prescribed me bendryl cream.... but i am wondering how long it is suppose to take for the rash to go away, because I STILL have it everywhere!!!! Does anyway have any suggestions.... I am going to call my surgeons office tomorrow, but if you can let me know what the suggested for you I would appreciate it :)
Day one of pre-op diet
Aug 14, 2009
So today was the first day of my liquid diet and let me tell you it is going to take a lot of mental strength to get through these next few days. My hunger pains were so bad today I was absolutely sick. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little easier. All I can think about is how excited I am for Tuesday to come and me to hurry up and have my surgery. I am so excited!!!!! Let these next few days fly by!!!!!!
