I have to say...I really had my doubts I'd feel normal again.

Here's a little of my journey. Day after surgery the leak test revealed I had a sleeve that was swollen shut in 2 places. Had a steroid shot and they didnt seem to be bothered anymore by it.

Weekd passed and dense meats made me vomit. At 10 weeks post op I could only eat 2oz at a time.

I went in for my 3 month check up and was told I had a slight stricture. Its why I had felt like crap most of the time...which was due to not being able to consume much. I was weak, walking across my living room would make me darn near pass out.

I'm now 14 weeks and thanks to double dose of prilosec, I'm now able to truely eat.

dinner for the last week has been an amazing salad. I've now been able to have more than 400 calories per day. Im averaging 800-900! I feel amazing now. Took me 14 weeks. I do not get light headed, my stamina is slowly returning. I'm taking a Water jogging class and using the elliptical! The last 4 days in a row, I've consistently hit 72oz of propel zero per day.

I didn't think I'd ever feel normal again. But here I am. I do. Love my sleeve.

Love the support this community has given me!

      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! 😞
