Thats great! Youve done really well! I hope I can do the same..I was just sleeved last Friday and had internal bleeding so I had to have another surgery Saturday morning and blood transfusions the rest of the day. Definitely not what I had in mind!! But Ive had some bad nausea as well and Im praying I dont have anymore complications! I live in Wilmington but was sleeved in Pinehurst.

Was the first week or two rough for you?! I keep second guessing whether or not I made the right decision!

Merry Christmas to you too!

Sorry it's taken a bit to respond. Holiday stuff is time consuming!! LoL

Unfortunately complications come with this to some degree. I developed a slight stricture and ha to have a ballon dilatation last week.

It does get better. The first month I had to figure out how to get in my Proteins and fluids without being so sick to my stomach. I use nectar Protein Powder unflavored and I have found it goes in everything!! Yay!

I doing regret a moment of my surgery. Even with the nausea I dont regret it. Try the GNC ready to drink Protein Shakes, they are great and not to thick or overly sweet. Also if you get tired of plain Water mix it 75/25 with apple juice or cranberry grape juice. I don't like plain water so that helps me get my water in.

Hey! I am in the Raleigh area. Still pre-op, though. I just had my gallbladder removed last Thursday. Recovery hasn't been too bad. Looking forward to my sleeve surgery!

      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! 😞
