Recommended Posts

It's like it's all I ever think about!!! With keeping track of all the Dr's appts and supplements to take and all this is even before surgery!!! I wake up thinking about it, I go to sleep thinking about it. I dream about it. I sit here at work and think about it. I google and youtube everything gastric bypass! Please someone tell me I'm not alone?!?!?!?

I did the same thing... I let so many things slip thru the cracks because of being so ocd about the surgery. But now almost 5 weeks its starting to get back to be somewhat normal.

I too think about it all the time, its the first think I think about in the AM as I take my meds and the last thing as I'm usually on here before bed.

I know my kids are tired of hearing me talk about it but I'm trying to get all the info I can so that I am as prepared for the life changes I am making. What they do not realize fully is that they are making the changes also!!!! So I am not just wanting this surgery for myself to become healthier but all of us. Does that make sense, or am I just pushing this onto the kids unnecessarily?

      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! 😞
