Hello All,

It's been a while since I last posted, but I've been busy with work, school, family and just life in general. Sorry I have robbed yall of details of my journey, but really nothing much has changed except my tolerance of hunger and the pains that come with it.

I'm not going to lie, I had weak moments that I thought I was going fail and relapse. I even thought about quitting the progrma altogether because I had been losing weight and figured I could do this on my own. But then I remember that I've done so many diets before and like them, this would be a thing of the past and I'll be back in the same boat if not worse so I'm driving on.

I'm the first surgery tomorrow and I'm nervous as all hell. I've never had a surgery this serious before. Plus, I'm starting to look slimmer each day and I'm worried that I will lose so much at once that I'll have the skin issue, which is a whole other surgery all on its own as well.

Well sorry i can't stay much longer, I'm at work and duty calls! I'll be in touch to let you know how everything went. Wish me luck!

V/r,

DeShawn

I was nervous before my surgery too. But it was easy. The pain and gas are bearble. Remember that you got this far and you're hungry...it's really amazing to be able to go a day in 500 cal and not feel hungry. It is definitely worth it! Good luck!!

      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! 😞
