My Kingdom For a Dorito



Recommended Posts

i had my surgery on July 16th Like everyone else i was really nervous I got in the OR and started to cry. i gave myself the moment, then i took a deep breath, put on my big girl panties - or rather took off my big girl panties, said a prayer and took the best step i could to getting healthy, The day of the surgery in recovery was needless to say, pretty bad, but I had an amazaing medical team and they got me through, The next morning i woke up craving for a dorito. It was the weirdest thing - all I could think about was sucking on a dorito. In my mind mind I could see it and i knew the only way to get it down would be to suck on it until it dissolved. The funny thing is I didn't really even eat dritos - often. . I believe it's this dorito or thought of it thats is helping me deal with all of the cooking that has been going on in my house since I have been home. I could wrong but i dont think so.

I wantd to share this story because i have been encouraged by so many of your posts, and realizing I'm not alone in this has been amazing. So if there is someone who thinks that amybe wht they are thinking or feeling is weird.........you're not alone!

I swear I almost wrestled my 2 year old for a quesadilla when I was a couple weeks out. I'm now close to 7 months out and down 110 pounds! Best decision of my life! Stay strong! You'll be so glad you did! Good luck!

      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! 😞
