Congrats on your new sleeve! Hope you have a quick recovery from surgery. I grew up in The Woodlands. I drive through Magnolia when I drive back to visit from Austin. Since you are in Texas, I have to recommend HEB Mootopia milk. This was a life saver for me post op. It has half the sugar of other milk and 12 g of Protein per 8 oz. When I couldn't tolerate much, this really helped me get my protein in. I used it in my Protein Shakes and Soups to boost protein.

sleeve surgery on July the 24, 2012.

hey Tex

wearing that heavy 10 gallon hat around adds to your weight, I would lose the hat for now :lol:

You are gonna be in Twounderland really soon - quite a great feeling, ;)

i see you gleeming from ear to ear :)

only 3 days since WLS dealing w/a heria repair too i know we have other strong hernia survivors too - pain pressure et al - sounds like dealing with alot,

things do hurt a bit after WLS, they will get better sooner than later

you must be one strong cookie - ^_^

i digress for a minute- a few years ago i would say to my granddaughter morgan- hey cookie, or whats new cookie

she always laughed and said GRAMMY i'm not a cookie - grandparents love stuff like that ^_^

back to topic

take care of yourself, hope someone is there to help/pamper you - or you can do the pampering for yourself - who deserves it more ;)

btw - your sleeve buddies here are always around for support and answers to questions, you gotta speak up - let us know what is going on

cookie

take care,

feel better soon

      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! 😞
