Thank you for the support. Today is a new day and I am bound to make this work! I'm getting ready to mix up a shake and put it in a measured drinking cup to monitor my progress and do only 2 oz at a time today. I hope to God it works. I'm so tired of being sick.

The good news is my 18 year old daughter and I are going to spend a movie day together!

How did today go?? It took me two weeks before I felt well enough to go back to work. The first week was spent in the bed. So, you are doing great, just remember to take it slowly.

Well yesterday I bloated up like a Macy Thanksgiving Day balloon. I'm thinking I'm lactose intolerant. I have a doc appt this morning and I'll be tackling that first thing. Took me 9 hours to deflate after drinking my shake and that made it hard to drink period. Ug.

I knew there'd be changes but I didn't think I'd have to relearn how to live completely. Anyway, thank you for mentioning the 2 weeks until you went back - that's what I'm asking for today. I originally was to return tomorrow but I'd like until Monday so I have more time to adjust. I'm not comfortable going to work and having no clue how to get Protein correctly and do this thing right. I feel like a mess. I'm so glad to be in the best of company on this forum as I notice so many of us going through this phase at one time or another :thumbup:

I'll post how it goes when I get back...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
