Recommended Posts

If anyone in the Dallas area would like to get together just let me know. I'm almost 2 months out...and would be happy to answer any questions (although I am by no means an expert) and the companionship would be great.

Sleeved a week ago yesterday in Dallas by Dr. James Davidson. Basically NO pain after surgery. I had a migrine that was a killer, a side affect from the paid meds, but once I could take MY prescription meds the next morning I was 'tender' but pain free. I took Tylenol w/Cod only at night to help me relax and sleep, but mostly so I could sleep on my side comfortably...and did that for six nights. I love the sleeve, I have NO hunger, very weird feeling. I am having trouble getting in enough Protein. It has not happened yet. :biggrin0: How about you that are a year or more out, does the hunger come back at all? I am so full trying to get in protein, it is uncomfortable.

I almost hate protein at this point. I get close but have yet to get it all in. I have been taking an Atkins shake and adding a scoop of Isopure. That is 40 right there. I usually get 3/4 of it down before I decide I just can't stand anymore. Are you coming to the class on Monday? I would love to meet you. I think the doc did a bang up job as far as pain goes. Once I get these staples out I will be a much happier camper. I long for cream Soups.

I am a lot happier with the staples out! He left one, the one in my navel and it came out a couple of days ago, and I'm glad. I was patting dry after my shower and it ended up on the towel! Anyway, I am in Galveston this week, but will be at a nutrition class the a week from tomorrow, will you be there? I'd love to meet you too. I agree, I think he did a bang up job. I am totally off of pain meds for two nights now. I'm doing cream Soups now. I'm trying to be creative. This Protein business is driving me nuts. I'm sitting at a Star bucks now but coffee isn't good to me any more. I hope that doesn't last. I brought my own Decaf iced tea, my husband is drinking coffee. We have no internet at the beach house. What a bummer! Oh well....I'll be back and check my email etc. in a couple of days! Take care!!! Glad you are doing well. Hope to meet you soon!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
