Random suggestion



Recommended Posts

So my sister had the sleeve done in August and she randomly sent me a corky message yesterday giving me a suggestion so I thought I would throw it out there for everyone!

You all may have heard it but if not... She suggested I invest in some baby utensils or shrimp forks to help keep my bites smaller when I can start eating again! Seemed like a good idea to me! Even now being over 8 months out she said she still uses the shrimp fork most of the time!

Also my dr office sells a divided plate for $17. They have the same size plate and same divisions sizes for $1 at the dollar general or Walmart, only thing is they are kids and come in like Dora, sponge bob, Spider-Man, etc... She recommends getting those as well as saving a few $ if ya don't mind the kids theme. My kids thought it was great cuz I would be using plates like them :)

Three months out I still use my smal utensils almost daily for something. This helps to keep my bites small even if it is just to remind me that I need to be mindful that Miss Tummy likes a little pampering.

I'll take the Spiderman plate please. :-P It will go well with my Captain America sippy cup.

      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! 😞
