Had a life changing experience today.



Recommended Posts

The past week has been very hard for me. I stopped losing weight and I was worried I wouldn't lose anymore. So long story short I got very depressed which I have had problems with depression. Well today I was on the highway and four cars in front of me wrecked and two of the cars came sliding towards me and some how I moved just the right way. Honestly I have no idea how I did it and the way the cars were coming my car would have flipped over a bridge. ( no one was injured) but I had the realization that life is precious and I'm only 3 weeks out of surgery and I have a lifetime left.

Glad to hear you are okay. But I have to say, that's the most extreme thing I've ever heard someone do to brake a stall! I've changed up my eating and exercise, but never thought to try scaring the crap out of myself to kick-start my weight loss. B)

Thank God no one was injured. Noooo depression don't live here no more. I have read everyone's weight stalls around week 2 or 3 or later, its the body adjusting. Ho much are u down so far?

Good luck, u got this.

realization that life is precious

@@SydneySweetHeart

its amazing how things can be put into perspective :)

feeling depresssed/possibly sorry for yourself (most of us have been their)

having your life flash in front of your eyes

helps you realize what is really important in life

you/we DO have our lives in front of us :)

its what we do with our time :unsure:

you/we have all made the wise decision to have the sleeve (or any other WLS) :)

now you/we're moving forward :)

to living a healthier, happier, longer life :)

pre-op and post op down 48 lbs!!!!!

woo hoo :)

keep up the good job (I know you will ;) )

kathy

congrats

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
