Recommended Posts

Hi all just a quick intro of myself. My name is carol and I'm 42 years of age. Had my sleeve done 5 days ago and am feeling ok so far. I have 3 children 15, 13 and 9 and a loving husband. I live on 3 acres with some cattle, sheep, birds and a dog. The house is always full of kids and happiness. I'm looking forward to myself feeling more happy and energetic as the time goes on. Sorry I can go on a bit I love talking. Thanks and look forward to continuing my weightloss journey with you all. ????

@@carolx Welcome!! Sounds like you've got a good support system there on the farm. Best of luck to you! Let us know how it's going. I know I sort of live vicariously though others who have had the surgery, as mine is coming up Thursday morning. I'm not nervous yet, but trying to organize my life and prepare for recovery at home. I'll spend one night and come home the next day. I'm pretty lucky that the bariatric hospital is only about 10 minutes from my house!! Keep in touch!

Hi carolx...welcome! Get ready to amaze yourself! Sounds like you have a lot of things and people to tend to. Just a suggestion, don't try to do to much to soon. I am also a mama of a young son. You know as a mom we don't get a lot of down time and we use our super strength arms to carry bags of groceries at a time plus a kid...while talking on our cell phone while balancing something else on our head...lol. Give yourself time to heal. Remember the incisions are just points of entry all of the handiwork is on the inside. Don't want to increase your risk of infection or inflammation by not taking the time to heal properly. Can't wait to hear from you again! ????

      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! 😞
