I only told who I trusted like my husband, mother and sister. I didn’t even tell my job. I started the process 10/18 and by 12/07/18 I was having surgery. I had a weeks vacation left so I took it the week of surgery and went back to work the next week. I am down 30lbs and really not many people have noticed and I have now told a select few a week. In the end, it’s your body and you tell who you want! By no means is it the easy way out! You still have to watch your food intake and still fight the mental part of wanting to eat when your truly not hungry! I have PCOS so I know your issues when it comes to that as well! I still find some days are a struggle with eating.
Good Luck

Yes he is doing great so far! He also has a hereditary kidney disease so we’re hoping he gets 15 to 20 years out of mine because he is only 38 and has 5 boys! It’s really crazy to see how many people will not become a living organ donor. The only thing it has changed for me is not being able to take certain medications. Sorry to hear about your loss it really does suck because your right when your dead your dead.

I donated my kidney 5 years ago to my brother so I haven’t been able to take NSAIDS since that time so hearing once I got sleeved I couldn’t taken them either believe it or not there are some alternatives. I suffer from chronic migraines as well so I have had to change my meds because of only having one kidney. I have been prescribed Fiorcet for headaches or any minor thing. You can also take Vicodin. Discuss with your Family Doctor mine is amazing at finding the right pill and making sure it’s safe for my one kidney.

I did Keto last year and lost 30lbs and felt great! Took a cruise and of course totally bombed Keto so I thought I get back on when we got home. I tried never really got back into it. I ended up gained 45 lbs back and got a kidney stone from the diet because I only have 1 kidney and I should have never done the diet. It works but only if you are going to stick with it. From my experience please make sure the diet is safe for you!
Once I got sleeved I am watching my carbs but I am not getting into Ketosis! Good Luck!

I am about 17 days out and I only lost 1lb last week. I feel your frustration. I am barely eating anything I feel like it should be melting off! Lol.
I did start doing some cardio at the end of last week so maybe I see more this week.
Good Luck!!
