Hello my AMOS family

Hello All, ~hugs~ I just wanted to peek in and see how you all are doing today? Please post to me and let me know where you are at and how things are going. The board seems so slow now.... I guess the summer can get like that huh? All is well here, just trying to get through every day.... back to work next week..... QUESTION: What was the one part of recovery that you hated the most? If you are still pre-op then just give what you would think would be the worse part of recovery. Mine is that I want to move forward but being so new I get tired and I seem to over due it... Thanks all, Debra P

Hello , I am pre-op working on losing my 10% right now .....I started on the atkins to get the weight off faster so that I can have this surgery faster ....I dont own a scale so Im not sure where im at losing the weight I know I bought some clothes and the pants are really loose....I go back to the nutritionist the first week in July so we will see ...Everybody cross your fingers

Stacy, Well I do not want a scale in my house at this time, well I do but I think I would be on it all the time.. So for now I will just leave it as it is... I hope you have lost your weight so you can have your surgery....I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts....~hugs~ Debra P

well Deb I'm not perfect so I'll tell you what happened to me.....after surgery and returning home I still had to cook for the kids they still wanted to eat I had the surgery and hope they didn't want to eat so I found that I was cooking food that I would not be eating that I always enjoyed.....I found myself putting the food in my mouth and as I was chewing it I said what am I doing I can't eat this so I would run to the garbage to spit it out....I think old habbits are hard to break but you have to be aware of everything you put in your mouth.... Glad you were peeking in ... Christine

Christine, I have to tell you that I was thinking of that the other night but I stopped myself because I did not go through all of this to only fail....I know I will have my ups and downs but I sure hope I will learn and not crave those really bad foods..... I get upset more at night when it is dinner time and hubby is eating something that looks and smells so good, during the day I seem to be ok so I will have to work on that.......I almost want to cry but doing better... Thanks hun and take care Debra P

Hey Debra.. The thing I hated the most was my lower back killed me after surgery and for about 5 days afterward.. It was so uncomfortable to lay down and do anything.. I had patches on my back and everything.. But eventually it passed and I was up and moving..You just gotta take it day by day.. Once you get back to work and everything you will feel so much better Take Care ~HUGS~ Catherine

For me it was the food...or lack of food part!! i really mourned food...every commercial on TV had some sort of fast food on it and i was dying!! but now that I have dropped all this weight and Im am feeling WONDERFUL, its not sucha big issue any more!! Hope you are feeling well!!

Lisa, Well I sure hope I get to that point soon.... well I am doing better every day so I guess I can see some light at the end of the tunnel.... take care Debra P

Catherine, Yeah that hospital bed is a killer and now sleeping on my back only has its own challenges.... I can kind of roll on my right side but I can not stay there to long.... Well thanks for posting hun....~hugs~ Debra P

Good Morning deb How are you doing?? ..Since i am still Pre-op the worst thing i could possible think of is waking up with no pain meds or medicine. That would stink!!! Anyways, Its such a nice day out and i am stuck at work!!! ttyl Kristen
