My First Mardi Gras With My Sleeve!



Recommended Posts

Well, we are here in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and I can tell you this has been a challenge! All this wonderful food and I am still in the mushy stage of my diet! We planned accordinlly for the trip but smelling all the wonderful aromas is tough! Etoufee, jambalya, gumbo and my favorite beignets!

I can have a little of gumbo and etoufee (no rice).

I can remember to was only last year when we ate and drank from the time we got here till the time we left! It is interesting, that what was once the focal point of the day is now something I don't want to think about!

But on a happy note, I had to buy a couple of new pairs of jeans and I was able to tuck in my shirt and wear a belt! I can't remember the last time I wore a belt! Grateful for the little blessings!

      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! 😞
