OMG! OMG! OMG!

REWIND:

The day has arrived! Today i say goodbye to 80% of my stomach and hello to my new life! I've been up for over 24 hrs In anticipation. Yesterday I worked from 9:00 am until 11:00 pm, then went home to complete my packing. I took a 15 minute nap, showered at 4:30 am, helped mom with her packing, placed everything in the car, drove to the airport, parked, checked in and boarded the plane . . . . The whole time I was FINE.

PLAY:

I get up to use the bathroom on the plane and that's when IT started . . . . PANIC!!! Walking down the aisle was a feat in itself. Then I step into the afterthought they call a bathroom. It was so small that my butt cheek touched the wall. Anyway, when I turned around and looked at myself in the mirror that's when I started mentally freaking out, asking myself . . . . . What are you doing? . . . Are you sure you want to do this? . . . It's not too late to cancel . . . . Think of all of the holes they are going to make in your belly . . . . The pain. I do believe the "super close quarters" caused me to have a panic attack. Once back at my seat I am fine. I won't lie, with us arriving in San Diego in a little over an hour I know that I will be getting nervous again.

      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! 😞
