Thanks for putting it in perspective!!??

Hiya, I'm 7 weeks post op and have only lost 34lb... i understand your frustration and hate that I'm a very slow loser but 45lbs is fantastic! You are doing great, keep it up!!

Thank you guys!!!???

Fantastic!! That's inspiring!

Thanks @FluffyChix, it was 4 days of partying! So much fun! Big party coming up on Saturday but everyday for the next 2 weeks will be some form of celebration... I'm going to need another vacation after this! ??

My first goal for 2019 was to lose 50lbs by 50 years old. I turn 50 on Saturday and this morning i finally met my goal!!! 50lbs lost since 01/4/19 and 25lbs since surgery 7/23/19... woop woop!!! We just got back from New Orleans and I realized that i didn't need to eat or drink alcohol to truly enjoy myself, its who you surround yourself with! My sister came over from London, my daughter and her partner, my nephew plus 3 of my best friends and we had a blast!! The celebrations will continue for the next 2 weeks while other friends and family arrive from abroad to celebrate this milestone withme. #50lbsby50yearsgoalachieved

Definitely more uncomfortable post-op!! Post op, my loo experience is very different to pre op. Post-OP, my poo is in diarrhea form and extremely gassy and loud. Just embarrassing! I can no longer get away with having a quiet but deadly smelling poo. Now its gassy, loud and deadly!

I use the Nutri bullet cup and it takes me about 45mins to drink it, i stay full till way after lunch..

Both of you look great!! Congratulations to your daughter and also to you!!

I do a sit down job and to be honest I can't type and pedal at the same time. I do however use it at home when watching TV.

Thanks @RickM that does make perfect sense actually. ??

Has anyone used the Vitamin Patch? If so, how effective do you think it is?

You look fantastic!!!

I have a bacterial infection called C.diff picked up at the hospital. I'm on antibiotics so hopefully it will fully clear up soon.

Didn't think of that, but i do wash my hands alot.

Thanks @FluffyChix, yes been researching! Sucks but at least I'm getting some relief. Also no one else is allowed to use my bathroom, don't want anyone else going through this!!

Hiya, my tests show that i have a bacterial infection called C.diff most likely picked up at the hospital urgh.. I'm on strong antibiotics. I have alot of relief but still not completely gone, I'm going 4-5 instead of 20 odd times a day, so things are definitely looking up ? Thanks for asking!!!

Well said!!!!???

Yes, i did.. did they only do the malabsorption part of the surgery?

I will try that, thank you!

@KarenLR75 You are strong regardless of the reasons, there is absolutely no way i could have gone back at 5 days much less the same day. ???

Fantastic news!!!

Huh ?, i commend you, you are a strong person!!!!

I initially took 3 weeks off from work but because of a bacterial infection I'm off for another week till it clears up. As for chores ar home, after day 3 i was doing light projects that i never get a chance to do while working. Every day since day 3 i work on something and also either get on the treadmill or go for a walk for over an hour daily. I think it helps you to recover quicker if you stay active.

Congratulations to both of you!! Woop woop!!
