They're having "food night" tonight at work. I ate a few crackers with cheese and pepperoni and some ham but no bread.

But there's a cake. And a giant chocolate chip cookie. And banana pudding. And they're making me sad.

This is the first time I've wanted to cheat. Ugh.

I am sitting in the worst chairs in the world inside an ER room with my 19 year old. He has been feeling bad all week. He works... No workED at a landscape company' date=' and has been outside in this extreme heat. I took him to urgent care on Tuesday. He was not dehydrated, but his sugar was at 49. After work yesterday, he basically collapsed in the bathroom. His sugar was 156, he had cramps, vomiting pretty much all day.

It looks like he is severely dehydrated. His kidneys were horrible when we got here and they have moved to bad at this point. Going in the right direction, but not great yet. They are not admitting him yet. So, we sit in this uncomfortable room and try to last through the night. Prayers appreciated![/quote']

Prayers for you and your son!

These pills are HUGE. Terrify me.

The pill is huge but I swallow mine. And it's never gotten stuck. The worst part is I have to take with food but after that huge pill I can barely eat.

Yes, I did. My doc changed them to tablet form and I split it into 4 pieces and swallow that. Is the name of yours something like ursidol? It comes in tablet form, as your doc!

Thanks everyone for the advice. My pill is urisodol so I will definitely ask my doctor about the tablet form. I have other meds that are tablets and they are much better!

      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... :(
