First 6 months are done!



Recommended Posts

My last pre-op appointment was today. Pre-op testing completed and all paperwork sent into insurance for reivew for approval. Tentative surgery date scheduled for May 14th. I cant wait! On the other hand, I was rereading the pre and post op diets. It is a little overwhelming. I have to remember that I want to be healthy and a few weeks of liquids will be easy when I think of the long term benefits! 6 weeks...let the count down begin!

We have all been there. It is over before you know it. Just think, thinner me and smaller clothes. The best!!

Good luck with the new you.

Congrats! 1st few days are hard but it gets easier and like the prior said keep your eye on the prize! I am only 1 month since banded but already had my high blood pressure meds removed and no longer pre- diabetic rated. I am able to walk without SEVERE back pain its all worth it!

      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! 😞
