The first three days after surgery I was very tired. In fact the 3 rd day I slept much of the day. Then I turned the corner on my recovery and I am back to my normal self, like I never had the surgery. Just going about my activities like normal. Love it!

3 days to go!! I'm freaking out because I am worried about my liver not shrinking enough. Probably shouldn't be worried seeing that I have lost 25 pounds on my own. I guess since I am not scared of the surgery, I had to find something to freak about. This is what I get for reading stuff on the Internet about surgeon's closing people up for having fatty livers.

I think you need to relax you are going to be fine. You have done an awesome job on your weight loss so far. I only lost 7lbs before surgery and I didn't get turned away. Everything is going to work out for you ; )

I just has to maintain before surgery. I only lost 3 lbs. and my doc said what shrinks your liver is the 24 hour liquid diet before surgery.

Thanks for all the encouragement. My family and friends can tell me it's going to be alright and love the support they are giving me. Support from people who understand what I am going thru is a lot different. We are all in this together.

A good note I weighed in today HW 300. SW 274 CW 264. Surgery on 6-16-14

I am making steady progress also. At the age of 60 I do not expect to keep up with the younger crowd and know that my weight loss will be slower. That's ok. Steady as she goes!!!

HW 226. SW 220 . CW. 212. Surgery date 6-17-14

Waiting on a call back from the doctor's office. They are trying to get me a pre-op appointment at the hospital either today or in the morning. My meeting with my surgeon isn't until 2 tomorrow afternoon and my surgery is Wednesday. Getting really nervous now.

      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! 😞
