So sorry to hear about the bad experiences. I firmly believe everything happens for us and not to us. I've been through a lot myself. What I know for sure is I am in charge of my thoughts. I can choose to suffer or focus on what I want and take steps each day in that direction. I get up everyday and journal my thoughts. Anything that is bothering me, regardless of what it is. Then I stop and listen. For years I've been guided on how to think and proceed. Then I write down and say my positive affirmations. Hope that helps! It's changed my life direction for the last 20 years into a great ones!

Sorry to hear about your challenges, but I'm so glad that you're still here to voice your concerns with us! I know walking is boring at times, but it is the only form of exercise that you can really do right now. Start slowly, and walk through the pain; without further injuring yourself of course! I started off with very short 5 minute walks and woked my way up to an hour, although my nurse said that was too much at one time. She said that I only need to walk 15-20 mins at a time a couple times a day. Walking makes me feel better, but like you, I have a hard time getting motivated to do it everyday. I try to walk around the stores instead, a little more interesting than walking down the street with my IPod!

I really hope you can get moving soon, I know that you will feel better and heal faster once you do; plus the weight comes off a lil quicker and muscle mass multiplies more as well! :)

Be well!

      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... :(
