Just wanted to introduce myself. I am Susan, and I head into surgery this Tuesday morning. I had the bypass in 2004 - starting weight 345. I got down to around 200, but gradually put it back on. I "never" felt that my pouch was small enough. I even remember telling the doc that I felt I could eat way more than I should be able to at 3 months. Of course, through the years, I developed the bad habits like diet sodas, straws, too many carbs.... I am back up to 300. My hubby says if I screw this one up he's leaving, lol - hence my screen name. :) New company for my hubby and his insurance will NOT pay for my surgery. The company is willing to pay for it, which we are blessed by. However, I know come tax time next year it will hit us hard coming up with the tax portion on $28,000.

Wish me luck! I look forward to getting to know all of you.

      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! 😞
