Feeling like a new woman!



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys :)

I'm now just over two weeks and I have the following points to note:

  • I'm down two sizes already!
  • I went for lunch today and was totally satisfied on about a quarter of a starter portion of prawns and avocado!
  • I'm all of a sudden interested in clothes and shoes again!
  • I've started to wear lipstick again!
  • My spots are clearing up!
  • I splashed out on some posh body firming moisturiser!
  • I no longer have a nap during the day whenever I can!
  • I'm smiling more!

And the biggest and most wonderful change of all - I feel at peace :biggrin0:

I no longer feel like I am constantly fighting against my urges and cravings. I don't feel like my body and my brain are having a tug of war. I no longer feel angry and bitter about my weight. I feel wonderful!

:thumbup::001_wub::biggrin0::lol0::thumbup:

Hooray for the sleeve! I hope some of you share the same happiness now or with time. xxxxx

I had another great moment today!!

The guys in my office do a weekly run to the bakery on the corner. In the past I have always accepted a cake, eaten it, then felt guilty for the rest of the day, OR I would have tried to be good and said "no thanks", then sulked for the rest of the day because I felt deprived.

However, today was the first time EVER that I said "nothing for me thanks" and actually meant it! I didn't want anything, and didn't feel angry and bitter watching everyone eating theirs when they arrived.

This tool is such a blessing. I hope I never take it for granted.

      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! 😞
