The only things i hate so far....



Recommended Posts

Hey guys

Well it's been an interesting 3 months so far. I've gone from being sad and happy about my surgery like a yoyo and i now feel kinda stable :) I love that my body is changing i just can't stand the out of proportionis that i feel now I've lost quite a chunk of weight. Let me elaborate. I've lost weight in certain areas of my body where as others are lagging . Like my hips for example.

I know its strange for a dude to be talking about this but i can't seem to find clothes that fit just right lol. I know it's only temporary . I even , on my travels , got a pair of trousers for work tailored for me and now they are to big in some areas but not others >< . I know i have to be patient but I'm tired of taking ppi's too lol . i mean if i miss 2 days in a row i wake up feeling like death is at my door :P

Other than that I'm loving the journey and I'm going to begin my gym journey at the end of this month so hopefully i can transform a little faster and better .

Anyway as always wishing you all the best :)

Hi Brock! I know I went through a crazy amount of emotions all throughout my journey. I still do to this day! I think it's going to be years before I fully grasp how different I am in a matter of a years time.

I just wanted to let you know you're not alone. Hang in there! I'm glad to hear you're doing better though, and ever day will too. I also ended up with not fitting my pants correctly. I had to get that fixed, and now I'm just waiting for final healing and I will be much happier for it.

Good luck!

We go through so many changes in such a short amout of time, it tough to keep up mentally/emotionally! It sounds like you are doing really well oveall. One advantage of being a guy is that, now that you are starting the gym, you will probably get a really good pay off. Guys seem to be able to tone up those muscles really nicely. It will probably reshape those areas you aren't as happy about. Hang in there. I bet you will look smoking hot here soon!!!!

Great post! I too rode the roller coaster of emotions after the sleeve. You gotta wonder just what's going on inside with everything changing so much and so rapidly - it's perfectly normal - even for us guys.

The ill fitting clothes issue gets worse as you lose, now that extra inch of fabric that used to make those pants oh-so-comfy now make me look like I'm walkin' around with a loaded diaper on! I'm wearing like a medium and a half now - which doesn't exist, medium is just a tad too small and larges are too big, so I walk around with baggy clothes. I LIKE that problem :smile1:

mnb thanks for the inspiring vote of confidence :D

rootman i know what you mean I'm down to a large and a half lol . The large makes my love handles look like camel humps and the xl makes me look like I'm wearing bat wings so i can't wait to start the gym and see where it takes me. Its a better problem to have than insulin resistance! :D As for the roller coaster i'll try to enjoy the ride :D

Thanks guys

      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! 😞
