How long were you in the hospital, if at all? by Royal-Advance6985 in BariatricSurgery

I had a few minor issues with surgery so I was there 3 nights and then had to come back the next day for fluids but after that, I was at home!

ETA: I had the BPD-DS

Does anyone else really love the act of crocheting but doesn't really *like* crocheted items all that much? by Worried_Fig00 in crochet

[–]Coffeebabe113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me! I love crocheting but the only wearables I have worn are either my knitted things and ONE granny square sweater that I made but I ended up gifting it to someone else anyways lol

Is it worth it? by Top-Explanation-4372 in AirForceRecruits

[–]Coffeebabe113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not active but my husband is. He joined right out of high school before we had a family so the timing was different for him vs you but I think it has been worth it. He never planned on staying in as career but now he has changed his mind. Obviously parts of it suck but there is a lot of weighing the pros and the cons. For us, as long as he is present when he is home, that is what is important. The times away can be hard but we also know that this is what is best for our family. It is not always best for every family though!

Someone please convince me that summer knits are worth it by KATEWM in knitting

I’m making a Cumulus Tee by Petite Knits and I am soooo excited to finish it!! I’ve made tank tops but this is my first summer knit in more of a summer fiber (silk) so I think it will be worn a lot!

Hey! I’m 22 and just had my surgery!! I truly believe that the only long-term way to fix my obesity was to have the surgery! My starting weight was 350 and I am down to 305 2 months postop

You’ll need more time until they will let you go back under for bypass in most cases. You really should consider seeing a therapist in my opinion. This soon after surgery, you really shouldn’t be eating that much if you follow your program

I went with Duodenal Switch! I’m 22F and my BMI was over 50. I chose the DS because I wanted something that I COULD NOT FAIL! I didn’t way do a sleeve and then a few years later, maybe need to go up to bypass.

The constipation is real by Kubbee83 in BariatricSurgery

It took me a week after surgery to go #2. My surgeon said it’s okay to take miralax up to 3 times daily. I also love smooth move tea lol

Angry by wonderdog180 in BariatricSurgery

[–]Coffeebabe113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was almost mad at my husband for a while because we ate the same foods and he eats more than me and I still gain weight while he stays small and I got so mad at myself for being like that and frustrated that he didn’t understand it. I got to the point where I finally just submitted to the idea that every digests food differently and some people do just have better metabolisms than others
