I am 12 days post OP and so beyond bored. What do I do? It has me feeling down a little. Guess im just ready for my days to be normal. Weird not feeling hungry. My husband works tomorrow and I have no idea what I am gonna do. I don't really have friends here.

I know :-( I'm usually a glass half full kinda gal but I'd find myself weeping at the silliest things. One day I went to wal mart with my mom and the walk from the car to the door took every thing out of me. I walked back to the car and just cried.... And feel asleep. Just keep going though :-) it will get better :-D

Think positive thoughts and get out and start walking. ANY exercise will produced endorfins which is a natural high. We all went thru periods of sadness but I was not going to let it get the best of me. When I felt down and sad I just leashed up my dogs and went for a walk :) Don't keep on saying you hate this feeling because that will only make you feel worse. Just do things that make you happy and don't dwell on being sad, it will pass.

I can relate to how you are feeling. I spent most of last week wondering if a whole 2 weeks off work was necessary because I was bored. Luckily my kids are on spring break this week so I get to stay home with them Mon-Wed and I go back to work Thurs. My concern is my energy level. I feel like someone pulled my plug and let all of my energy out. I'm thinking it's due to the 200 calories a day I'm living on during this phase, I just wish I could get some get up and go. I can start my next phase on Thursday which, according to my doctor's meal plan, means tuna on toast and a slightly higher volume of food allowed. I'm very excited and I'm hoping the extra calories will get me through my work day. They frown on me napping at my desk ;)

Find some motivational music! Anytime I'm feeling down, if I can find even one song that is uplifting to me at that point in tile, I'll just play the crap out of it until I feel better. It really does help. Or shopping, that fixes everything :)

      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... :(
