Recommended Posts

today is sunday february 3rd. today is the superbowl and also my BIRTHDAY!!! i am 5 days out (i got sleeved on tuesday the 29th of Jan) and feel pretty good. gas and stomach pain has seemed to give me a break today. it's almost 2:00 EST here in boston and I haven't taken any pain meds yet. i start my day with my 2 chewable Centrum Vitamins (btw i def need liquid centrum. i don't the like the taste or smell of the chewable). then i drink like a Sobe Zero Water or Vitamin Water Zero. then i take my sublingual B12. then i'll have a water bottle. (all slow sips of course). then i'll take a quick 10 minute walk outside. then come back, try like a special K drink or i'll have the instant carnation Breakfast with a little ice and fat free milk. then my Calcium tablet. then more water. then maybe another vitamin water. sometimes if i feel hungry i'll make Tomato Soup for dinner. then i take my 2nd calcium tablet. more water so on and so forth. been showering daily and i love it. needed it too lol. Just wanted to share. hope i'm doing the right thing. hope this helps others too. any questions or tips please feel free to comment or leave me a private message. thanks, Mark

Don't really have any advice b/c I'm still pre-op. But it's great to find a fellow Bostonian on here! Best of luck and Happy Bday. I'll bet it'll be a memorable one, because it's the year your life changed for the better!

      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! 😞
