I read about not bulking up on food / supplies beforehand because your taste buds change. I’ll be writing in my notebook about your advice !!! Thank you so much

That’s so reassuring that it’ll be faster than the cornea transplant. I feel like I’ve been thru that horrifying long time so a terrible short time won’t be as bad. I plan on following everything to a T because I want to fully and completely take advantage of this surgery !! I will definitely keep you guys updated on the notebook and the surgery. How do you add friends on here ? Lol I’ll try to follow you guys if that’s ok

Thank you for replying !! You made amazing points ! I have 4 members of my family that have had WLS so I’m glad to be able to talk to people who know what I will be going through. Thank you for the tip of getting antidepressants because I’m trying to maintain my mental health as much as humanly possible so I will definitely get that kind of help whenever needed. Thank you for your kind words !

Thank you for replying !!! It’s made me feel so much better to know that I will have a hard time but it’ll be over before I know it. Lol. I had a cornea transplant and for the first couple months I was really regretting it 🙄😂 but once everything got better I was soooo happy that I did it. I’m only planning on weighing myself 1 time a week because in many videos , I heard that if you do it too many times then you get depressed and I’m trying to avoid that as much as I can. I’m also planning on keeping a journal on my food intake / activities. Thank you so much !

Thank you for replying ! I honestly haven’t thought about bowel movements so I’ll definitely have to put that in my notes. I knew about plateaus , I think that will be a little rough on me but I’ve written down tips to help with that (i.e wearing old clothes just to see how far I’ve gotten and/or focusing on health rather than numbers) but I have faith in you ! You can do it !! If you want, you can inbox me and keep in touch. I’m fairly new to this app so I don’t know much about how it works lol.

Thank you for that ! Most people on YouTube have horror stories so it was making me a bit nervous but I’ve been prepping for this for a long time so I’m hoping everything will turn out just fine. Thank you so much for replying !

Hi everyone ! My name is Gia and I’m currently in the process of doing the Duodenal Switch. I’m 20 years old. 5’3 and about 345 lbs right now. I have been approved by my insurance but I need two more tests done before I get scheduled. I have a few questions for people who have already had the surgery , anything you wish you knew before you did it ? Anything I should remember to keep my head in the game ? Tips on the dealing / getting over the worst things ? Tips on mental health maintenance ? I’m sorry for asking so much considering I haven’t gotten the surgery yet but I’m doing a notebook beforehand. Thank you in advance !
