Water Water water! And if you can, rest. I am in day three. This is the first day I didn't have a headache when I woke up. Yesterday I tried to walk around the block every time I felt hungry. My daughter loved it and it helped distract me and may be the reason I feel better today. I'm down 6lbs since Thursday.

In my head I'm Dory from Finding Nemo. "Just keep swimming...just keep swimming." Lol.

Sorry! I've convinced myself its not as bad as I'm making it out to be in my head. But being "hangry" makes everything seem 10 times worse than it is. Lol.

I have 2 days to go--surgery on Monday. I have a plan......SLEEP as much as humanly possible, drink my Protein shakes and just hang in there. Tomorrow Clear liquids ONLY. No Protein drinks. I feel tired and dizzy and weak but I am not a quitter and I don't think any of you are either. I/WE can DO THIS!!! I am only hours away from being a healthier, skinnier me! I have just ordered my post op Vitamins and they should be here by the time I get home from the hospital. My church is praying for a quick recovery. I am good to go!!! WHOO HOO!!!

It is def harder with the hunger pains! After surgery we will get full quickly so it will be so much easier!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
