My Surgery Was/ Is On________, And I Has/will Conquer________



Recommended Posts

I love the word "conquer". It just feels so powerful to me. We all have at least a few things to conquer and I'd love to hear what yours are.

For me:

My surgery was feb 25/ 2011, and I will conquer long distance running. It's been a goal of mine since grade school. I'm registered for the Disney princess half marathon next month. So excited!!!!!

My surgery was December 20, 2011 and I will conquer my fear of meeting new people, for fear of being judged for being fat. Or for thinking my husband's career will be limited by my appearance.

My surgery is scheduled for March 15, 2012. I am getting very excited but also aprehensive...

Like Amanda, I will conquer my fear of meeting new people and my fear of no man ever finding me attractive again. Oh and that my weight is impeding my ability to get ahead at work.

Ok I am glad I am not the only one who thinks we are discriminated against with the big ugly flowers and gross patterns. Its like...we are fat, it's not that we have no taste in clothing! Ugh I HATE THAT!

Oh and I hate my double chin too. :)

My surgery was December 8th but this happened three weeks ago.

I conquered my fear of restaurant booths. I sat in one with friends the other day and FIT. I tried to get a chair to pull up at the end but couldn't and ended up just sliding in. Much to my surprise, I fit with a little extra room between my stomach and the table.

Next up, I will conquer my hatred of exercise.

What awsome replies!!!!

I feel I need to add that I'm in the process of conquering my fear of "being out there" and excelling in the workplace. I have a meeting this week with the vice president of the bakery I help manage, to talk about my advancement in the company and my eventual buying of my store!!!!

I'm nervous!!!!!!

      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! 😞
