1/2 way through 6 months



Recommended Posts

I am new to the boards, but I have been lurking. I am hoping that my insurance will approve me. I didn't decide on having surgery lightly. I am half way through the six month process, and it seems like forever. I have had my first appointments and my insurance approved the additional psych testing. I hope it is a good sign.

I have a blog, and I plan to blog my way through the process. I am an English teacher and writing is cathartic for me. On my last post, I explained why I made this decision.

I am interested in hearing any advice to keep me on track until the end of March when I am done with the six month doctor supervised "diet."

      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! 😞
