Monday Funday Question Of The Day!



Recommended Posts

Having people that didn't know me before talk about something and say "well, you wouldn't know about that since you're so tiny".

Makes me grin and pull out my phone to show my before pictures!!!

people have always said this to me, it used to go along with "if you werent fat".

In this case I knew what she meant. My step-mother told me: "You are beginning to look like yourself again."

You see, with my fat face, I didn't have a "pretty" face. It was bloated and misshapen. You could hardly see my eyes.

It sounds harsh, but it really is a compliment. What I don't like is when I know people notice, but don't say a thing as if they would be saying: "You look great now, but you didn't use to when you were fat.

It's okay. i know I looked like Uncle Fester with hair when I was fat. Okay, I know I'm still fat, but with marked improvement.

      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! 😞
