Hey all ya new members!! Hi to those who have been chatting with me since I joined!

I figured I would finally show some pics! The pre op pic was June 2012 and surgery was June 2013. No change really in weight between those times. I didn't take immediate pre op pics, and haven't been documenting it much.

Girl you look fantastic!! I'm so proud of you! Had my surgery on Tuesday - back home today. 1st day was really rough but been steadily getting better every day. You give me so much motivation to keep going with the hope that I can look as good as you do at just a few months out!

Hey girlie - I'm doing great! Hard to believe that I have gotten this much better this fast. I've already passed my Fluid requirements for today and have to get in 20 more grams of Protein for the day and I haven't had my "dinner" yet! Like I said - the 1st day was rough because of all the gas but really pushed myself to walk alot and sipped like crazy once I was allowed. Each day is like 100% better than the day before. 1st couple of days had to be really careful because sometimes I was taking too big sips and that would be uncomfortable - same thing if something was too cold or too hot. Not painful - I was just aware that I had pushed the envelope! Today I am back to drinking pretty much exactly as before the surgery - no itty bitty sips or anything. Am still using my baby spoon to eat my sugar free jello! I can sleep on my side (haven't tried belly yet) and I've already been taken off my metformin. Testing my sugar twice a day right now and it's almost too low last couple of days - have to drink a Gatorade to get it back up to 80 or so. How much longer till your surgery? Just know that each day will be better than the day before and you will be fine!

      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! 😞

      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.
