My greatest new discovery



Recommended Posts

I purchased a camelbak steel insulated drinking container. It is the greatest thing. I keep it with me all the time. It has a large mouth top that you can put ice in. I even take it to bed with me. THe ice stays all nite long and keeps the Water fresh all the time. It was a bit pricey but with the sip sip sip drink drink thing it has been a life saver to have this ice cold water at all times.

I bought a steel one; however it wasn't insulated, so I put it in an insulated container that I had for water bottles. I fill mine with filtered water about 1/2 way and put it in the freezer overnight, then add cold water in the morning, slip it into the insulated sleeve and it will stay cold all day, until about 9 at night - so over 12 hours. I paid $9.99 for mine at Target.

Hey all I'm home and exhausted!!!! Also my doctors nurse said she didn't think I was taking in enough liquids! How much should I be drinking a day? Its only been 4 days I thought I was drinking enough but apparently I need more. Ideas are much appreciated!!

64 oz of Fluid is what my surgeon recommended ... SF popsicles and ice cubes are a good way to get in liquids, propel Water, special k water ... sip sip sip or suck suck suck all day long. It's tough at first, but it will get easier.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
