Hey FireFly... We just barely missed each other there in Mexicali. Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet, but I'm so happy to hear you're back home and on the sleeved side! Sounds like you're feeling very similar to the way I was feeling at first. Still a bit chilly here and there, but a nice pair of socks seems to help. :smile:

How is your weightloss so far, and how is your tummy? I hope all is well! Did you meet all the nice people that were there whilst you were there? I met a few that came in the day before you, from Washington State and Canada, nice people. It was a pleasant experience for me, overall. Hope it was for you too!

Best! :001_rolleyes::biggrin0:

I have lost 10 pounds as of yesterday. I am making an effort not to get addicted to the scale. Trying for just once a week weighing.

My tummy isn't bad. The site of the where the drain was is sore but the others are not. I can sleep on either side so I'm happy enough.

Met some nice people. A man from the Pacific North West, a woman from Canada and 2 ladies from Tennessee (I think).

Yep, I met Wayne (from Oregon) and his friend from Washington... and the lady from Canada. Didn't meet the others, or you :sad: Sounds like you're doing GREAT! Way to go! :drool5:

I'm doing fine. Sounds like you are too. I'm anxious to get to the mushie food though. Clear is pure torture. I didn't think it would be a big deal to have only clear but it IS!!!!!

I liked Sobe Lifewater from Target, many various flavors to try, and it contains some Vitamins. If you hit it lucky you'll catch a sale, 50 cents each, 20 ounce bottles! I still drink it as my primary liquid, I load up my pantry when it is on sale. At least it provides some flavor variety, zero calorie, not too sweet, no aspartame (it uses stevia), and you get the benefit of some vitamins.

No benefit to me by the way, if you buy it. I just like it.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Right now I'm drinking a bottle of Propel. It has some sugar but not a lot. It was on the approved list from Dr. Aceves.

That Sobe Lifewater is a LIFE saver, for sure. Last I saw at Target it was $1 a bottle, a pretty good deal... They also have it at costco now, and it's pretty cheap, comes in a case of like 12 or something? Anyways, I started drinking it before the surgery, and I like most of them. Some more than others, but like you said, they are a great choice and pretty darn healthy.

      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... :(
