Hey everyone!

It's been a while since I last posted. A lot has happend. I finally had the hip replaced on October 29th. I'm 7 weeks out and 15lbs lighter (which is a woo-hoo! all in itself) The downside of the whole thing, is that because of my prosthesis, I will always be 2lbs heavier then I actually am.

I have not seen my LB surgeon since august (which is kind of a horrible thing) but I have been pre-occupied with the whole hip thing (basically I had a month to prepare from the date I was given to actual surgery day) and my physical therepy sessions.

I think that I'm actually at my comfort zone. The 15lbs lost honestly is from the complete lack of appetite I had the first 3 weeks post-op where I lived on nothing but cheerios and rice pudding, I was on medication that made me really sick and those 2 seemed to be the only things that stayed down and eased the nausea.

I figured I would check in on everyone, and if I don't hear from anyone... have a very happy holiday season.

Happy holiday to you too Sarah. I hope you have a speedy recovery. You have accomplished much!! In the scope of things, 2 lbs isn't much. Take care

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

      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! 😞
