    Sorry you have been so sick. Hope things get better soon. I know what you mean about losing inches, its amazing how fast they melt away. love Carol

  • @HectusHomeVids
    @HectusHomeVids 11 років тому

    Sorry for forgetting that. I started at 320. Lost 45 pounds before surgery, went up to 292 right after surgery and am now down to 260.8 :) I'll try to remember to include that. There have been times I don't see movement on the scale, but can tell I'm losing because my clothes don't fit the same. Being dehydrated really sucks.

  • @HectusHomeVids
    @HectusHomeVids 11 років тому

    Oh man, I really am dopey lately! Thank you for bringing that to my attention :)

    Gotta give us your start weight in every video or total pounds lost! Seems like you are struggling a little so I'm sorry about that. Strictures are hard to deal with because you get dehydrated

  • @HectusHomeVids

    CONGRATS on you surgery :) Thank you for stopping by and checking me out. I am so thankful that I am on the good end of things now. It's been an amazing journey so far, even with the difficulties!

    Hi, I am a new subscriber. I went back and watched your videos, from when you had surgery up to now. You have had a rough time of it! I'm glad you are feeling better. I wanted to support you in your journey and wish you all the luck. I am in the middle of my week 13 RNY. I do my weigh ins on tues. love Carol

    Really? It's hard for me to tell... I feel like I am the same, but suddenly I can wear clothes that were WAY too small for me not so long ago. I'm actually getting better each day :) Now that I can eat solid food, I am discovering what my pouch will and will not tolerate. It's kinda exciting really. And I don't dump on sugar or carbs. Not sure if that is a good thing or not.

  • @HectusHomeVids
    @HectusHomeVids 11 років тому

    Turns out there is a stricture :(

  • @HectusHomeVids
    @HectusHomeVids 11 років тому

    Not sure why it cut out. Thank you :) I don't like the new UA-cam setup because I can't tell when I have comments anymore.

  • @HectusHomeVids
    @HectusHomeVids 11 років тому

    Awww... thank you. I don't have a way to do measurements right now, but I will next month :)

    I might have a stricture. Was supposed to see the Doc yesterday but had to reschedule for the 31st.

    Cute puppy. Your movie cut out. Thank you for rescuing him. You look great.

  • @HungerTheory

    Hey lady, looking good. It's kinda strange that at 7 weeks out your suture sites are still sore. Hope you dont have an infection or a stricture! Good luck!

  • @HectusHomeVids
    @HectusHomeVids 11 років тому

    Thanks, me too. Nope, no fun at all :(

  • @SwitcheRue

    Throwing up isn't fun. Hopefully the get it opened up for you.

    Thank you! It was so awesome to be out of pain, completely!!!!

  • @HectusHomeVids
    @HectusHomeVids 11 років тому

    Yes, I need to make sure I keep getting in the water...

  • @HectusHomeVids
    @HectusHomeVids 11 років тому

    I'll have to try the pillows idea! I can't sleep well on my back, but with the sutures tearing away, it is too painful to sleep that way. I can keep pureed foods down, but they want me eating solid (but soft) meat and keeping it down. I made the mistake of trying to eat sausage as the food and am fighting to keep it down as I type...

  • @HectusHomeVids
    @HectusHomeVids 11 років тому

    Does your abscess hurt? If so, what makes it feel better? My innards hurt from how tender the skin is. I do miss things like salad, fruits and some veggies. I've been managing yogurt, but I keep throwing up anything heavier... like refried beans. Lots of shakes and water!

  • @HectusHomeVids
    @HectusHomeVids 12 років тому

    Thank you! Somehow I missed this comment... sorry.

  • @HectusHomeVids
    @HectusHomeVids 12 років тому

    I know, but they seemed so light at the time! Now I am being smarter about how far I push my body... no matter how good something may feel at that moment!

    It helps relieve the pressure on my healing stomach from my CPAP machine.

  • @SwitcheRue

    I like that about our dogs... forcing us to go on walks even when we'd rather not.

  • @HectusHomeVids

    Ahh, that would be Gunny. He always seems to be with me when I do my videos. He's a little bed bunny.
