Congrats on your exciting journey! My advice is to practice chewing a lot and eating slowly. Dont drink 30 minutes before and 60 minutes after a meal and stop all carbonated drinks. Also if you are not exercising maybe start walking. I am sure you will get some more suggestions, but whatever you are supposed to after try working them in now.

Best of luck to you!

Take Chapstick to hospital, lips get so dry.

I purchased baby spoon to practice smaller bites with and it also makes you eat slower.

Surgery is the best sleep I'd had in long time.my anastesiologist was the sexiest sleep doctor I've seen.She was beautiful and nice curves.The metal operating table wasn't what I expected.the room was kind of cold.Before I went off into la la land.i asked why in the hell it was so damn cold in here.they put the oxygen mask on and I relaxed and was out.woke up.it seemed like a second from when I was under til I woke up.when I woke up I felt like I'd been stomped on in my chest.I kinda looked around and couphed.About an hour or so after waking up and urinating.i went home

Tonight write down all the reasons why you are doing this. Be honest. Then when the going gets tough read it over and check off the goals you have achieved, Write down all the things you will do thin.

      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! 😞
