Yea i feel like as the days go by....my anxiety levels raise a bit..i just keep thinking about next year this time im gonna be a whole diffrent me. Honestly girl idk what to expect.. what are my relationships gonna be like with my friends and family...i havent told anyone not even my boyfriend/bestfriend of 3 yrs...idk how or if i wanna...currently though he isnt in brooklyn but when he comes back ill look diff. Ill be.transforming before his eyes...where fam is concerned they are very judgemental i had a cousin who had some type of bariatric surgery and hasnt told a soul but everyone.knows and been talking about her so much she stop coming around and eventually moved....you should follow my journey though ill do the same ill be starting a youtube channel soon....so look out for that...anywhoooo good luck mama!!

I certainly will be following and I wish you the best of luck in your journey. Yes family and friends can be judgemental. Just have to tone people out and focus on the biggest picture ur happiness ur health and make sure u doing it for you. I use to want it for attention, hell I'm not ugly with it on or off. Then I had to find me and now I'm doing it because I don't want any health issue and I want to be here for my kids. So again good luck!

That is great! I didn't have a hernia. I have gas pains. These started after the nurse removed my drain. My god they are horrible. I've been walking and used gas-x. I pray that it stops soon.

      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.
