Surgeon Testimonial

Stanley J. Rogers, M.D.
Dr. Rogers was GREAT. He and his team took well care of me. He's very thorough and he put my husband at ease as I were prepping for surgery. My husband only had great thigns to say about the staff also. I would DEFINATELY recommend him for someone wanting RNY. I really can't fairly give any negetive feedback at this point in the game (5 days post op :)

Hey OH Friends, WHAT'S NEW?

I hope this update finds you all well and continously losing and/or maintaining.

For me!  Well, I'm struggling with cravings and giving into those cravings.

I"m still losing inches, even though the scale doesn't say I'm losing weight.  I think inches are still falling off cause My clothes are a bit loser and/or I"m able to fit into more size 6 clothes....but I'm at a point where I don't want to measure..I guess I should for accountability purposes right?   At this point I don't know what my goal weight should be.  When I first started this journey, the NUT told me I probably won't go below 160 because of my build and muscle mass...My goal right now is 150..., but I can't get below 168-170.  My husband doesn't think I should go below 160.  My mom thinks I'm good where I am...but I think I want to be 145-148 cause that'll take me to a 'normal' BMI...but the BMI is debateable and may not be good for me to get that small, who knows....OK..that was a little off topic....I feel like I"m in never never land right now.

Anyway, my sweet tooth is so bad and I"ve been giving into it alot lately and sometimes I feel like I'm out of control with it.  The bad thing is that although I haven't dumped lately, I still get nauseous if I eat to many sweets, so I do get nauseous, but that doesn't seem to help keep me away from the sweets.  I"ve also fallen off with my vits/mins, water and exercise.

I look at my old pictures and say "I'LL NEVER BE THAT WEIGHT AGAIN", but how can I avoid it if I can't control what I put into my mouth?  That thought is depressing and revolting.  Sometimes I think "what in the hell are you doing?  why are you eating that?  You're going to get addicted to it and then what?"

I decided to start the 5 day pouch test to get those carbs out of my system.  We'll see what happens.  At this point I feel like it's a now or never sort of thing.  get back on track now, or suffer the consequences of never getting back.....

Hopefully I"ll find out today why I've been having that pain at one of my incision sites.  Coiuld be a hernia, but the doc couldn't feel it so sent me for a CT Scan on Thursday.  Could be scar tissue too.  She said whatever it is, the CT scan should identify it.  She said I could exercise, but I'm so scared because i can feel the pressure at the incision site, so I don't .  Once I know what's up...I'll hit the gym again, which I'm hoping will also take me out of this funk.

Oh, BTW, my anniversary weekend was awesome.  We had such a great time together.  I felt so complete. 

Anyway, take care and I'll update you with the 5 day PT results.
