I'm on my way! Tuesday I went for my first post op appointment and I am doing extremely well. The drainage pump was removed. THANK GOD! That was the most annoying thing to have in my side. But it's gone. When I got on the scale I had lost 11 lbs since I had left the hospital but my doctors assistanct caluclated how much weight I had lost since my Pre-op appointment which meant 14lbs GONE! PPHHEEWW! See ya and I am so glad to be rid of you. On my goal sheet I actually put my stating weight when I went in to have my lab work done because that was the first time I had been on the scale since they had removed the saline from my band. So when I factor it all in, I actually have lost 17 lbs total. I don't know about you but I am super excited. Now if I could just make myself remember to eat. I have to even remind myself to drink too. I can't believe the restriction. But I love it. I am not in any pain just a little low on energy but I try to keep moving as much as possible but not over doing it. Well my next appointment is not until next Thursday. Can't wait to see how much I have lost...LOL! My doctor told me if I follow the simple instructions he gave me there is no doubt that I will reach my goal weight within 6 months. Can't wait to see what it is going to be like in 6 months. That is going to be a great journey to a new and healthier ME! Wishing all of the newly sleeved and those anticipating being sleeved much success. I can't wait to read about you. I will post pictures soon. I was thinking when I make the 1 month mark. Have a great day! Talk to you soon!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
