Hello All,

It's been one week and one day since I laid down a Weightloss failure and arose a Weightloss victor. I checked in the hospital Wedensday and was checked out Friday. I was unable to hold anything down and got very weak and dehydrated, so I was readmitted on Sunday and re-released on Tuesday. First couple of days were really rough, painfully rough. The overwhelming gas pain, the stomach pain, and the pain if not being able to make myself feel better with food. After the IV restored my fluids and pain meds comfortable, I was convinced I would live. My first day home, my sleeve buddy told me she was eatting crawfish and lying in the sun reading a book, I smiled because that confirmed I had made the right decision. Wedensday was the 4th, while I could not eat BBQ, but I did enjoy an apple martini and that made it all good, lol. Thursday , today I went for my 1 week visit and stepped on that scale, it was 19 pounds lighter than the day I checked in for surgery. By the time the doctor entered the exam room, I was cry like a baby and couldn't stop. Wow.... Instead of having 200 pounds to lose , I now have 181 pounds and for the first time ever it seemed possible. And possibility is a gift worth suffering for :)

      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! 😞
