Guest guest Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 great update and congrats on your wt loss so far take care amber Checking in It's been a while since I've even viewed this newsgroup. I've been so involved at work, I haven't had time. I think returning to work is part of the reason my weight-loss has picked up the past couple weeks as well. I returned to work just over a month ago, but to modified duty... 7 weeks post-op... doing administrative work. I have since returned to working in the ER part of the time and still doing administrative stuff too. I have another week before I return to my normally scheduled night-shift ER. I'm currently only doing 8- hour shifts, but I'll go 12-hour the second week of June. Now for weight-loss. Just after surgery, on March 10, I was loosing quite a bit. I then slowed down in weight-loss, right around the 400-pound mark. I've since picked up speed the past 2 weeks. I am now 11 weeks post op and I've hit the 100 pound loss mark. Today, my weight was 363.0 pounds. My starting weight was 463.5 pounds. Even people that are poor observers, that didn't know I had weight- loss surgery are begining to notice. My nickname, the one on my nametag at work is " Big Ron " . Since we don't use our last names on our nametags (just for the ER and the Medical Guard Unit... Queen of the Valley's own state prison) and I'm not the only Ron, I use my nickname. Many of my co-workers are now calling me " Shrinking Ron " I tend to have more energy than before surgery. Today I did a short shift. It was supposed to be a 4-hour shift, but turned into 5. When I arrived, I felt like I was bouncing off the walls. I soon slowed down and hardly moving at the end. I think I must have needed food. I ate and had a bunch of energy again. Since my stomach no longer tells me I'm hungry, I have to learn by other clues that I need to eat. I'm trying to get all my protein through high-content protein foods, like vegemeats. I don't seem to have any issue with lactose, although I haven't had any straight milk. I've had all kinds of cheese, yogurt... but I guess they are cultured. I have found out that there is a product that my body can NOT deal with... Splenda. My body does not tolerate that stuff! I get terrible gas/explosive diarhea after a little bit. Since I look for low-carb foods, I often see stuff advertised as low-carb. I have to look to see if it is deceptive advertising by looking for sugar alcohols. Thankfully, they still list the TRUE carbohydrates and not just the " effective " carbohydrates. That is one tip that I won't tolerate it... if they say the key word " Net Carbs " . I've been experimenting with a few more foods... I always do so very nervously. I cross my fingers and try just a small amount. So far, I haven't had a lot of bad reactions though. I guess that's all for now. ______________________________________ Ron Webb 03/10/2004 463.5 pounds BMI 55 05/28/2004 363.0 pounds BMI 43 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi All, I haven't posted for a long time since Bre has been doing so well. I also needed a break because of all the " other " things going on in my life. It has finally mellowed out now!! Bre ended up on 200mg. of zoloft and still takes some buspar. The main thing for her recovery is she is able to recognise ocd and does an exposure right away. Now she is driving and is causing anxiety for me! LOL. It is hard to let go and not worry so much about her because of her ocd. But I also have to admit I am very proud of her hard work and determination to fight ocd. I look back at the long, hard, road and realize there IS hope and light at the end of the tunnel. Well, just wanted to say hi to all you " know " me! Take care, Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
