Recommended Posts

Thank god I've been doing soo soo good! I even went back to work on Monday and during lunch I go the mall and walk for an hour. I've been drinking lots of Water and I don't have to sip.. I can actually drink a lot. Today I decided to go the gym and I only went on the treadmill for 50min and lost 200 cal. Tomorrow I see my but for the first time after surgery. I hope he lets me starts my second phase since I've been doing so well. If not, I can still wait till Monday :) ... I am so motivated to lose weight and of course heal... I even motivated my co-worker who is struggling to lose weight to go the gym :) makes me feel good.

Careful not to do too much..You are still healing and your staples are not healed yet either..Trust me you don't want a leak, stricture or go septic...Be good to yourself a bit more and talk to your team about what they think you should start out with ans when.....K

Thank you. Yea I'm going slow. I only walked. Didn't the doc recommend that? Haha... Not pushing or pulling anything more than a pound. :) I just have so much energy it's unbelievable.

How was your appointment?

It went great. I had no idea that the first time they make you sit in a conference with other sleevers and they go over the meal plans... That took about an hour!!!

As of today, I weigh 195 so a total loss of 18lbs. The doc said I look great and was ok with me going the gym. They even suggested to use the bike now.

Today I went to the gym and I burned 250calories and walked 2.75miles... I feel great

Ohh so since surgery, my neck has been killing me so the doc prescribed neck medication and I can't wait to take it so this pain can go away. It started with my neck, it went to the shoulder and then my head. Today I ha a huge Migraine at work and I know it's all from the neck. I went for a massage, put on a heating pad including an icepack. So I hope these medications works. So I had 18oz of Water while at the gym for an hour :) not bad ehh?

      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! 😞
