questions for a newbie who is doing this alone



Recommended Posts

Thanks w8t4me. I am doing much better now. It has been almost two weeks since my surgery and the pain is gone. I still don't sleep through the night, however. That is probably due to my kids waking me up and once they do; I can't get back to sleep.

Hiya .... I am in the same boat.. I have only told my mom that I'm thinking about it... she will bug me about it, but has admitted that she has thought about it herself before she retires.

I have not told any co-workers and ESPECIALLY MY BOSS!!! We are in adjoining offices and he would be bugging me all day everyday about it....

I will use a week of PTO time and he will never know... my significant other... might as well be my dh, but we are not married.. so what do I call him... ANYWAY when I met him 2 years ago, I had just lost 80 lbs on Low Carb and I was in 12's..... now I'm back up to 20-22's and he makes fun of me everytime I try to get back on the LC wagon... (long story) ANYWAY.. I FEEL YOUR PAIN...... I will not tell him what I'm doing until I have the insurance approved and a date set...

I really think that the band will be the tool to help me maintain a loss......

I applaud you for doing this alone! and KEEP US POSTED

      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! 😞
