Hey everyone...day 1 post op. yesterday was rough. I was only able to walk around the nurses station once yesterday. however I'm doing better today, more walking. My blood pressure is high 147/83 but it came down from 161/115. Yesterday I was in and out...and definitely the worst. I'm sure it's different for everyone. The best of luck to you guys.

Hi Ms. Yvette....yup it's been 2 weeks. I feel a lot better than the first week. The struggle was and is still real. I'm still trying to get used to everything. Having problems with meeting my Protein and liquid goals but still trying my best. My mental struggle w/this is slowly improving especially with time and great support from family and friends.

Glad you're feeling better. I hear a lot of people struggle with the Protein. Maybe you can do an unflavored Protein powder and add that to the chicken broth from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury which I think has 21 grams of protein. Stay strong and congratulations. The hard part is over.

      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
