Oh lawd! That doesn't make me feel good.

It honestly is just one of those fluke things that can happen! They gave me the blood thinners in my belly like they were supposed and still... My poor Dr feels so bad though even though its not his fault and I swear I am being treated like a queen in here!

Im just walking and walking and walking. They wont give me anything for it. I threw up once mire but found out it was my asthma meds! It was ooening my lyngs up which in turn made me cough up/ swallow mucus which irritated my new stomach.... i might have to stay 1 more day.. im thursty though.. i hooked up my heating pad and hit the morphine and passed out!!!! Best sleep ive had since being here. The nurses let me sleep for a while. They are really accommodating. Bout to go on last walk before sleep time. 3 laps here i come!!!!

I get sleeved tomorrow. Yesterday I went skiing with my grand kids, it was such an awesome day. It helped me remember why I want this, while many say ”nothing tastes as good as thin feels ", for me it's "as good as healthy feels" my family is very active and my weight hasn't stopped me yet from participating, but I see that it will in the near future. I want to do half marathons with my grand kids, I want to ski with them, I want to never have to be in the situation where I'm to heavy to participate. With this surgery I'm giving myself a tool in which to accomplish that. So when you see someone eating French fries, or ice cream, whatever your "food" is, remember what your reason for doing this was and I'll bet nothing tastes as good as your reason is. Good luck to everyone!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
