Can It Get Better?

Household chores: can it get better with weight loss?

I feel like my house has gone to the birds since I am so heavy. Picking up after my 4 year old, laundry, mopping, sweeping, cooking, scrubbing toilets, etc. It all seems to take so much out of me.

Somebody tell me it gets better and easier and houses are a little bit cleaner post-op?!? :)

My house might evict me if surgery doesn't come soon... LOL

I couldn't walk up the stairs. I have a quad-level. I needed help. I needed help getting my shoes on, getting off the couch, my feet swelled up so much that you would freak if you saw how big they were.

I worked very hard during the pre-approval period and lost weight before surgery, but without the program that I was on, and how serious I took this surgery, getting 85% of my stomach removed, I dedicated myself to changing my habits before surgery. It was still hard after surgery, but oh my gosh, life does get better if you put the effort into following your doctor's plan.

      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! 😞
