Welcome Erin! I am so excited that you decided to do this for yourself. I am feeling great, have since the surgery, no issues whatsoever. Just have a open mind and strong will and you can make it. This forum is wonderful, it helped me tremendously when I was researching the surgery, right after and even now, I find something out new every time I log in. Keep us posted on your journey and again...welcome to the sleever group! :D

Welcome Erin :)

Congratulations on your decision, it wont always be an easy journey but in my experience is worth it.

You will find loads of information and support on this site.

I am 7 months (and 120 pounds gone) and life has never felt so alive. Fatigue is definitely something of the past (well post recovery anyway, recovery fatigue is a whole other thing :)). Even when I sleep only a couple of hours a night I can still get through the day and the next and the next ....yes this is something I am well aquainted with at the moment.

Good luck on your journey, feel free to ask any questions.

      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! 😞
