Miss seeing your post sweetpea! How ya doin?

I could have sworn I answered you back. It probably did not go through. Anyway,

I am great!!

How are you? I know this is the hardest part of recovery. It can be a trial mentally too, but you are sounding great. Keep up the good work!

How are you feeling now? Healing ok?

Keep it slow,

Sweetpee

3 weeks out still have two drains for one more week. Somehow I split my back open about an inch, so that put me back to like the first week of not doing anything for the next two weeks. Except now I feel great and want to do stuff. Overall I'm doing good how's your progress going!

I am feeling great!

My body is no longer sore, but it took me 8 months to get to this point. I know, that is a long time, but in the beginning I took it very slow, and stayed in bed as much as possible. It is the worst, knowing you have a million things to do, but can't. Smile.

Healing takes time, and I know for me, it took me longer than most, because I am a slow healer. But I finally got there and you will too. Just take this time to relax, put your feet up and enjoy doing as less as possible. Smile!!!

4 week update-Thought I'd be back to work by now, but I still have 2 tubes and a deep hole in my back. The real bummer is I tried to get into a pair of my jeans and couldn't get them up! I almost sat and cried. I'm bigger now than I was when I went in! Hope its all swelling. For sure the tubes are coming out Monday, or I'll pull the damn things out my self!

I am sure it is all swelling. Things are going to get better. Hang in there! All will heal with time.

Yeah! Both and final tubes came out today! Back and front are healing! I can take a shower and drive! Still no bending or doing anything to make me sweat. It was weird not having tubes I ended up pulling my underwear up over my belly. They look like granny pants. I still have a lot of swelling and dr said not to be upset over not being able to fit into my jeans. So all and all it's a good day and I don't feel so down in the dumps today!

Doc put me on high dose of Iron last week. Since then I can't sit still. So I'm looking for stuff to do. Still can't bend all the way over. I'm now an expert at picking things up with my toes and keeping a pair of long tongs handy! How ya doin?

      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! 😞
