OMG reality is setting in



Recommended Posts

Omg, I can't believe this is finally gonna happen!! I've been waiting for this for 7 yrs. Finally everything is kinda magically falling together. Unexpected funds showed up, 2 different times, and happens to equal almost the exact amount that I needed for surgery. I guess maybe it's true that what's meant to be will happen in it's own sweet slow time lol. I am alternating between extreme joy and excitement, to actual terror. But I am so ready to be a Sleever!!! 5/16 can't get here soon enough!!!

:hippie:

Hang in there. I will be sleeved on June 6th tentatively and have the same feelings. I will be so glad to be on the other side of surgery. I have my last PCP weight loss visit (#6) on 5/2/2011. Everything else is done. We all have to stick together to encourage and support each other. Thanks for posting.

So happy for you that everything is falling into place. God will make a way. He hears our prayers and knows the desires of our heart.

      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! 😞
