Recommended Posts

My appt. for 4/15 to get my surgery date has been moved up to 4/9, I can't believe that after waiting so many months and having major delays I will finally get a surgery date in 2 days. YIPPY!!!!! I'm so excited and nervous and ready to start my pre- op 2 week liquid diet, I look forward to knowing that I will never be this size again. I will be truly committed to my sleeve.

Wow that's right around the corner, don't be freaked out just look back at any moments that you felt held back because of your weight and know that it will be all worth it to get fair chances in life.

To be honest the first 2 days after surgery was tough I wanted to sleep all the time the nurses were forcing me to drink a lot of Water (which hurt) I was not in to much pain thankfully but yesterday was a breakthrough I felt so much better I came home from hospital and had a very small amount of puréed food today is the same :) lots of people on here have told me to walk as much as I can to get rid of the extra gas build up you get after surgery so I will do that also I find warm liquid like teas or Soup go down much easier than cold drinks I am not hungry at all which is good also rest as much as you can after surgery even in 4 days I have learnt this . Good luck :)

      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! 😞
