Doc ordered labs and ordered me to go to the ER if I see this again. He should have the lab results by morning. I have a feeling I'll be in the ER before then :(

Yes, Yes, yes!! I hated giving myself those shots!!!!!! Was so glad when I gave myself the last one! Doesnt it seem like the preparation for the shot takes longer than the actual shot? The needle is so sharp and goes in the skin painless, but just looking at that gives me the heebie jeebies! Its a good thing I didnt become diabetic. I would have had a problem.

Hi I'm 10 days post op surgery date was 7/29 and everything going fine. I have to admit this soft food phase is driving me crazy. I want some deli meat and low fat cream cheese so bad lol ! I am counting down the days until 8/26 that's when I should be able to eat solid food again.

Just went back today to sit in an all day conference. I took walking breaks and did ok. I felt great in the beginning, but I was more than ready to go home towards the end! Now I'm super sore and I think it was from being in the sitting position so much.

      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.

      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! 😞
