I was sleeved on Tuesday and doing great! I'm not ready to run a marathon by any means, but the pain is tolerable. I slept 8 straight hours last night, so this morning was very painful, trying to get out of bed. So....tonight, I'm going to set my alarm half way through the night, so I can walk around the house and sip, sip, sip. 8 hours of not drinking or walking was way too long! My bed just felt so good after two nights in a uncomfortable hospital bed.

The recovery is not as bad as my hysterectomy, but more painful than my Lapband. So....really not bad at all!

I'm May 21st and getting more nervous by the day!

I'm also Tuesday, went for pre admission testing today. I'm getting sad about the feeling that I'll never be able to eat anything that I used to, but I know the benefits are worth it. Being in this liquid diet really sucks, especially not being able to eat with my family. No matter how you cut it there is a huge social factor involved with food that I'm going to miss.

I'm Tuesday also. But don't believe that you will not be able to eat what you use to. Not the same amount. I know many many that have had surgery and no one has ever said something was totally forbidden. With time you will have it. Socialization become less about the food and more about the people and the occasions being celebrated. Your life will sky rocket the healthier you get. We can do this!

Just got my pre-op call from the hospital! My surgeon's office called to confirm this morning. I've lost about 14 lbs on the pre op diet and feel great. Not looking forward to full liquids Sunday. Ugh.... But bring on Monday!!!!

I just had my surgery this past Monday and it has been hard but today has been better! The really hard thing for me is all the liquid intake. My doctor wants me to consume between 50 to 60 ounces per day and right now I'm lucky to get 30! But I have been able to get down about 50 grams of Protein per day. Gotta stay positive it will get easier with time!! My husband is also getting sleeve next week. Please keep us in your prayers we are doing this together :)

      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.

      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! 😞
