First night out since surgery!!



Recommended Posts

Well tonight will be my first night going out to dinner since my surgery 1 month ago.. I am excited/nervous at the same time. It's a dinner with my hubbys co-workers and boss, and I don't want to look like an idiot eating in front of them. I have been cleared for chopped meats since 2 weeks post op, and as of yesterday been cleared for salads again. I went and bought a new shirt for the occasion, and to my surprise it was a 1X OMG really a 1X!! 1 month ago I was barely fitting into a 3X.. I probably spent more then I should have $20 for a shirt that was on sale and a shirt I am probably going to be able to wear for a short while, but who cares right?? A little treat now and then is alright. I don't plan on buying anything else other then goodwill/yard sale clothes for the next 6-9 months. LoL Going off subject back to what I was orginally talking about. I plan on ordering the tilapia so I figure that will keep some eyes off of me. I am just dreading to hear the remarks some may say.. Hopefully night but they may you never know.. Any way wish me luck on my first night out!!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
