Hi tbooks

So far so good. I had a bit of a rough start. Had serious blood loss, which lead to a couple of blood transfusions. It was pretty scary, but I had an awesome medical team around. I was glad that it happened before I was discharged. As for weight loss i've lost 18lbs since my pre-op shakes. Only 8lbs since the surgery, but loss, is loss. How has your journey been?

Welcome and so glad you are doing good now, I bet you are feeling better and stronger every day. Just keep doing what program your Doc has laid out for you and the weight will come off, This isn't a race, slow and steady and taking care of you are what is so very important.

      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! 😞
