Recommended Posts

Surgery on 8/19, weight date of surgery 208, (lost 11 during 2 week diet), today's weight 196. Feeling pretty normal, focusing on H20, Protein (mostly liquid form), and incorporating mooshy foods as I can. And supplements, just switched Calcium from Sweet Indulgence (dark chocolate bar) to Bariatric Advantage (6 chews a day). I chose raspberry and lemon).

Exercise is not as vigorous as I believe I should be. Been walking, but not vigorously. I've done weights a little :)

I was kept in the hospital for 2 nights and 3 days. When I got home from the hospital I Weighed 5 lbs more then when I went in. My blood pressure was out of control and nausea was terrible. I threw up one time at the hospital and felt so much better after that, it was the scariest thing I've experienced.

Tonight I'm going out with my husband and our church friends...looking forward to getting dolled up :)

Blessings to all! Wanted to share a little...

Hey everyone. I am really feeling good Thursday will be two weeks and I go to the doc on Wednesday. I seem to be down from sw 306 and cw 295 but starting weight was 320 so I am feeling better about my decision since the gas is gone and I can take in more. I am back at work today and very happy about it, need to get away from my house. I have to figure out how to work my food for the day since my schedule is so crazy working 12-8pm. I don't want to eat that late at night but may have to in order to make sure my meals are spaced out. Has anyone set up a schedule for themselves to make sur you are eating enough?

My pic is very similar to yours I can see it mostly in my face and upper body. 5 1/2 weeks out almost 6 weeks (8/11/2013)

Finally, someone who was sleeved on the same day as me! You're looking good! You can definitely see your loss. Congrats!

It's only a day difference... Most places don't do surgery on a Sunday

True. Im in the UK and alot of surgeons here work for the NHS during the week and privately at weekends. As a self pay patient I was scheduled for a Sunday.

      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! 😞
