On The Verge Of Mental Collapse



Recommended Posts

Well, I'm off to San Diego for a couple days before heading to TJ for my surgery.

So this was my last 'Weigh In' until I get back.

See you on the other side!

Mouse, see you there.

I was 2 weeks before the surgery on liquids as well as 3 weeks after. My daughter told me if I did the 5 weeks right, I would never have to do that again. My surgery was 11/12/12 so I was on liquids for Thanksgiving and pureed foods for Christmas. I have lost 91 pounds and my weight fluctuated day to day. I remember I was in tears in the beginning, wondering what I had done to myself and feeling sorry for myself. I went from 225.5 at my highest to 134.2 so am close to goal. You can do this, but don't stress about the scale. Was wearing 22/24 or 2x and am now wearing 12P and got into my daughter's 8P. Not sure I could sit in them though!

oh my dear I understand very clearly what your going through. I was going through Weight Loss Forever and they wanted me to spend another 2000 to have a cardiologist in the room. My BMI was 47.2 and they still wanted to charge me even when I was like 2 mths and half away from surgery... Thought that was crazy to spend close to 16000 for Dr Pompa.... My family physician thought it was scammish and she encouraged me to starve myself. Lol sounds crazy and I also started taking laxatives etc... I was beating myself up for like 3 wks and then I decided to give up on that weight loss forever agency! I found someone way way better then Dr Pompa and the ridiculous prices they where charging. I have to go on a 3 wk liquid diet before Dec 14 as that's my surgery date in Mexico! Do all that you can but I was reminded stress adds to no weight loss! You will do great let go off the scale! Hugs

      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! 😞
