It’s wasn’t the pain for me, I actually had very little pain/complications. It was just the fatigue that followed. It took me a good 4-6 weeks to get my energy back. Maybe it was just me though 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m 13 months, still losing hair 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m really into hot cocoa these days too! Such a yummy treat

Bypass... I’ve seen too many revisions with the sleeve.

Your surgeons office can provide you with a list

I’m a teacher, had the bypass! Please wait until the summer, I know it’s hard but there’s no way I could have returned to teaching 2-3 weeks afterward. Feel free to message me if you have questions

Being diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and being told I needed to have my gallbladder removed. I was 35 and my body was literally falling apart

Hey NYJenn - I've just looked at your stats and we're nearly gastro-twins! Roughly the same surgery date, starting weight and weight loss so far! (Although I'm 51 and you're still a spring chicken). How cool is that?! 🙂
My turning point was seeing a very obese woman in a mobility scooter trying to get up a steep hill. It looked like it wasn't going to make it. My first thought was - how is she going to get up that hill if the scooter breaks down? My second thought was - that's going to be me in a few years if I don't sort myself out. Scary stuff.

Respectfully, If you don't want to read it, or can't handle the questions, or don't like the answers, then don't put your life on front street. You literally invited them all to comment when you made this post. Freedom of speech and opinions are not limited to one person.

OK, am glad you got some help for your situation but I will have to be honest and admit that I am VERY curious...what did your doctor/surgeon say about your Olive Garden outing and what were their thoughts as to how you packed in the Soup and breadstick??
I know you mentioned maybe it was your meds...but is this also what your dr felt it might have been? I'm just truly curious about their take on it.

Grab you meal plan (should probably consist of liquids at the moment) and follow it. That’s the only way this is going to work for you. Trust the process and no more breadsticks. Eating foods like that right after major surgery is actually dangerous. If you need help, reach out to your surgeons office, nutritionist or therapist

Glad to hear you’re feeling so positive! The pre-op for me wasn’t fun but it also felt super empowering! Like I was finally in charge again! Keep up the good vibes

My health was my #1 concern, but of course looking good is a great reward

They pumped you full of air and liquids

I feel like I’ll need to tape those hand warmer things all over my body this winter ☹️
