Hi all,

On March 24th, 2015 I had my gastric sleeve surgery and boy was it a journey! I had my surgery at 1:30 and was not able to leave recovery until 2:30 AM. I had to stay until Friday in the hospital because I refused to eat or drink anything. I was in too much pain and nauseous.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at home I constantly begged my mom and boyfriend to drive me back to the hospital because I was DYING; however, they refused and just gave me some pain meds.

On Monday, I felt like a brand new person! I felt great and I had a NON-scale VICTORY.... The promise ring my boyfriend bought me for Christmas FINALLY fit. And it was even a little bit big!

Yesterday, I overdid it as I went Prom Dress shopping. I did get my dress, but boy am I in so much pain. Too much bending and moving around. I was not a happy camper the rest of the night. I should have known that I was not ready, but I really wanted to go prom dress shopping with my mom and twin sister!

Today, I am in a lot of pain and nauseous, so I am going to take it easy today. I may go out for a little while to get my nails done and walk around, but I can't overdo it like I did yesterday!

I have not weighed myself, but I feel good. I received many compliments from people who did not even know that I went for WLS. I am also still on Clear liquids until Friday! I will update then!

BTW posting pic of Prom Dress here! I had another victory I went from a size 22 dress to a size 20! Don't mind my face, I was worn out from everything!

      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! 😞
