When I started the WLS program I was 267, at surgery on 1/3/13 I was 241, today I am 225. I weigh myself tomorrow, so i'm hoping to be down a few more pounds but since surgery I've lost 16 pounds. All together i've lost 42 pounds.

I'm a cake decorator and like alot of us a foodie. I'm already back to doing cakes and sweets. This morning I woke up and decided to make eclairs. Also have a baby shower cake due on Friday. Then there's real food. My huge family is getting dinners at least from me. On Saturday is my hubby's bday so we are throwing him a BBQ/ bday party. I'll be cooking that day and for Sunday game day food. I figure there will always be temptations around so I may as well figure out how to deal with them. Hasn't been as bad as I would have thought. Maybe because I'm only a week out' date=' but I hope it will become a habit. Once I can eat normal food again is when the real challenge will begin.[/quote']

I am feeling the same as you, I couldn't wait to get back to my kitchen! And I'm so far just out of surgery one week. So far so good but like you said the real challenge will begin once I can have real food.

Last Sunday was my brothers birthday, of course I made a cake and as surging it I got a bit of the frosting in my finger and somehow it made it to my mouth without my noticing, until I tasted it and spit what I could out haha. So I will definitely just need to practice more self control! =)

Greg job being motivated! Good luck

Yes it does. I took some the first few days afterwards I got the meltaways that just go on your tongue.

I didn't try it and I wish I had something. The pain from the gas they fill us up with was horrible for me. When I had my gall bladder removed they did the same thing but I came out of surgery with no pain, so I guess each time is different.

Good luck tomorrow!!!

So I'm out almost 7 days. My dr had me on full Protein 2 weeks before. Starting day of surgery (after of course) I was in pure liquids. Soup' date=' Popsicles and Water. 3 days later I was bring my protein back in.

I can't even get a full 8 oz shake in for the whole day and my water. It's crazy and when I'm so thirsty I have tried drinking water like before. That's a joke!!

I have also noticed if I sip to fast I get a really weird feeling in my stomach. It's not a full sensation but its weird.

I've heard a lot of people talk about Isopure. What is this?[/quote']

Protein Drink they sale at GNC each one cost about $5.00 but they sale them by the case it suppose to taste like Gatorade

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
