I am too. I have been having a hard recovery so I am leaning on my Lord a little harder. :) I hope everyone is doing well!

Sorry to hear that your having a hard time. I will pray God speeds up your recovery! When were you sleeved? Since I wanted my surgery to be a private thing, I haven't told my church family or co-workers. We just need to pray for each other.

I got sleeved on the 23rd. Almost a week ago. I have my follow up on Thursday. I am trying to get all my fluids in, but it's been hard. I will also pray for you. :) Not too many know of my surgery either. I don't know why, I have never been embarrassed to be a big girl. *heehee*

I think I'm afraid someone will talk me out of it....How are you feeling? Are you in pain, hungry?

I'm suppose to go back to work after a week off, maybe I need to rethink that.

Praying God's healing touch over you now. There's power in the word, and it says " By his stripes we're healed".

I'm feeling ok. I'm sore but only in one incision. The doctor said it was the deepest incision. It hurts to get up and down. You never know how much you use your stomach mussels until they cut them. :) Thank you for your prayers. I prayed for you to have his strength and courage. You'll be fine and i know once this little part is over, we will both be happy we did it. :)

Did you say stomach muscles, what are those? LOL! On your pre-op diet, What was your favorite Protein Drink?

*hahaha*

I drank Premier Protein. I got them from Costo. I used the chocolate and blended a banana in it. That made it so much easier to get down.

I like the banana idea. Someone mentioned putting a spoon of Peanut Butter in it. Xtra Protein and makes it taste good.

      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! 😞
