Help After Car Accident!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi! I was banded in '09! Well Feb '10 I was in a car accident. So since then have been dealing with my injuries. I had my, hopefully, last surgery in Nov. when I had the accident I was down 80lbs, since then I have gained about 30 with all the stress involved. I just really need help and the motivation to get back on track. I really am so happy with my band just need the extra help to get back in my diet! Thanks to any and all that might be able to help!!

I gained 30lbs after my car accident too, but it was pre band and that was what started the process.

I'd look at it as, ok I survived and accident that could have taken my life, but I'm still here and it's time to make myself even healthier. Go back to your band way of eating, see your Dr for a fill if need be. You did this once, you can do it again.

Log what you're eating and stick to your plan.

You survived and car accident, you can do this too!

Glad you're back with us!

Get back on track drinking lots of Protein shakes. Bloat yourself with lots of Water and SF Jello. Drink lots of Broths. Push your brain like you had started all over again. Break the old habits with the ones that were allowing you to lose weight.

Best Wishes

      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! 😞
