October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

I've got 2 more sleeps and then it's my turn on the 12th. I'm starting to get a little bit nervous now. I went for my pre-op assessment on monday and the nurse said if I haven't lost any weight then the surgeon won't operate. But she didn't say since when! Now the last time they weighed me before Monday was back in April and since then I've gained abt 3kgs. (Lots of stress at work with 3 work mates getting life threateningly ill plus I wasn't really trying to be good then). If she means since April, I might not get my surgery. If they mean since I started the pre-op diet, how will they know? I'd been on it 4 days before I got weighed. (I don't own any scales).

Maybe she was just trying to scare me into staying on the diet, which I have done anyway. Maybe they mean between the assessment and the surgery. Who knows?! I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. There's no way I haven't lost any weight on a less than 800 calorie per day diet.

They had told me to have the tests at least 10 days out so if it was positive they could give me the medicine. I hope that is enough time. The weird thing is that I had called the surgeon's office this morning and they said everything was good. My PCP is the one who called me. I read that some people have to wait a couple of months after testing positive. I am kind of freaking right now.

I finish my 14 day pills on Sunday and my surgery is Monday so don't worry

      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! 😞
