Nancy's new adventure



Recommended Posts

On 12/12/12 I had a RNY surgery to lose 120 lbs. I have a small skin infection on Keflex for otherwise doing as expected. I go back to work on 1/13/13 and I hope I will be able to keep the secret. I went to surgery with only my husband and my nephew knowing,.. my kids and my mother dont even know. I am looking forward to some help and some tips from these forums.

Thank you

Nancy

Hi Nancy!! Welcome! I told very few people too. I was off a month as well and so far no one has said anything to me. I only lost about 23 pounds so nothing drastic which is good.

This is a great place. Never hesitate to ask a question or reach out for support.

Welcome Nancy. I go for the final doctor visit tomorrow morning to review the pre-op test results. Then they will schedule me for an all day nutrition class then the surgery. Thank you for sharing. I will be following right behind you!

Congrats Nancy on beginning your journey! Hope you are healing nicely. I was trying to keep this a secret at work. I had only told the teachers on my team... However, you know how that goes. Word had gotten out. I'm okay with that. Good luck with everything!

Hi Nancy. I haven't told anyone either. My surgery is Jan 10 and my work people know I'm having stomach surgery but no details. I work with a lot if mean spirited people and my boss would not be happy with me putting our department in a bind for an "elective" surgery. Good luck to you and God bless.

I am with you on the not telling many people. For the few people that know they are very supportive but the subject itself is hard to bring up with my extended family. Good luck with your journey and keep all of us updated on your results.

      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! 😞
