I know this is going to sound crazy, but put some Vic's Vapor rub inside your nose and you will not be able to smell the food. If you are seeing the food but smelling the VIC's you will not want to eat it.

I shall not wish you "luck" but instead "determination." The latter is what will get you where you want to be... It is an incredible journey but has many many pitfalls and you - like the rest of us - will experience joy and frustration. But determination will carry you through to your goals.

I worked in the medical field for several years and worked at an Internal Medicine clinic with a few patients where we treated them in their homes and the homes were extremely nasty and stinky and that was my trick for getting into doing my job and not getting sick.........first several times I went into the homes I would puke from the smell, then I started doing the VIC's and it stopped.

      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! 😞
