It's taken almost two years to get to the point where I am now. Found out this morning that I will be getting Sleeved next Thursday the 13th!!! I feel so many different things right now but I am happy that I can love and live the rest of my life happy and healthy.

So to you fellows Sleevers...I will be where you are soon!

Congratulations,

Do not forget that you need to be up and walking every hour for 10 minutes. Do not be lazy about this.

It doesn't hurt. The only thing that "hurts" is the gas pressure and some people don't even have that. The more you walk the less gas pain you will have.

The first 48 hours are the toughest and each hour after you are in recovery it gets better and better.

Do not set yourself up for disappointment or failure. Your body will do what it needs to do on its own, Don't force anything.

Measure yourself and take photos weekly, When you come back and complain you are in a "stall" your actually not in a stall. You are probably losing inches or your body is shifting. A stall is nothing lost at all weight or inches in over 30 days.

You are going to do amazing.

I can't wait to see your journey.

Sarah

      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! 😞
