Sorry I double posted

The 22nd made my one year Surgerversary! Started at 296.6 I weighed myself today and happy to say I’ve lost over a hundred pounds. I had the duodenal switch literally I have no complaints at all very happy to be thriving my goal is 179 but I’m trying my best to continue losing. I hope everyone is doing well !

Thanks Suzi it definitely does also congrats on your progress as well !

I forgot to add I hope everyone is doing well and thriving!

Hey guys! Sorry for being MIA! Between work school & life it’s been busy. I wanted to share my update with you guys I’m currently down 103.4 pounds! I’m very happy I feel good energy is crazy . I can power walk the prison without being winded/sluggish. One of my big victories was trying on some old shoes my feet really shrunk! Lol my only worry now is I have a strong beef brewing with the wind ! I feel like if I keep losing I’ll be gone with the wind! lol

How about CVR : Current Vitamin Regimen

I personally loveeeee power crunch bars from trader Joe’s the peanut butter flavor favors a Kit Kat bar . I also recommend the chocolate flavor too. Hope that helps!

No one will advocate for you like you is my favorite quote ! Continue to step on toes legs and arms for your health. There’s a reason why there’s revisions. If you don't like the answers your receiving keep looking! I was told a revision wasn’t needed back in 2018 , to just go back to the liver shrinking diet. I have pcos & hypothyroidism. I met a Dr that recommended duodenal switch . Aug 22, 2022 I had my revision. So far I’m very happy with my decision to keep searching for a surgeon that would understand my health needs. Best of luck to you!

Give it time … your fear is validated but what you’re going through is very common. I’m also experiencing a stall plus my period skipped town a week after my surgery lol not complaining. You will thrive I know it! The hard part is over.

Graduated to soft foods today it feels nice, but I noticed I feel full quickly, but honestly no complaints here. So what’s funny to me & my father whenever it’s “time to eat” or “I should be eating” I start to obsess about what food sounds tasty or reminisce about yummy food I had in the past. I literally google random recipes just to look at the pictures lol . Once I eat though the desire to dwell on past deliciousness is over it’s so odd to me!

Thank you for this comment I have one incision that has been a complete pain I’m 7 days post op but I’m guessing it’s normal

I loveeeeeee their milk so I ordered the protein drinks like 4 cases strawberry vanilla & chocolate . I had the duodenal switch, so I can start those drinks 1 week after postop, looking forward to it!

lol what a catch 22! Ummmmm I’d say I’m excited about surgery I’m a revision so there’s a bit of been there done that . I just want to fast forward to when I’m recovering at home. I felt overwhelmed with how much new information is out/products since I had my first surgery in 2010 . I’m naturally a worry wart so I’m going through the motions of overly researching duodenal switch . I know it’s best for me due to my metabolism disorders. I read somewhere you could lose a pound a day ! Like that’s crazy to me lol ! (Also I’m making you my accountability partner lol there will be meltdowns FYI !)

Oh ok just was curious. Also I plan on ordering my vitamins today trying to find my best option but I’m leaning towards the barimelts, because the idea of 8 pills is too much lol ! How are you feeling about your surgery? I have so many emotions going on .

Hey Kara which vitamins are you purchasing? Due to getting the DS I’ll have to take 4 pills in the am and 4 at pm the brand is barilife . Also another question what made you pick the sleeve as your revision choice?
