Recommended Posts

I am really new here and just starting the surgery journey. Could use an experienced mentor and a friend at about the same point. I need to lose 100+ pounds but would be happy to have a healthy pain free body again. Have no in house support or accountability as I live by myself, not lonely, just alone and would like to share.

Congrats Zelda. My day is May 19th. I have only told my mom and two other people. I know my mom is scared but she'll be there for me. What day are you planning?

I haven't told many either. My BF, mom and two kids. I don't until June 9. I have already started eating smaller and no liquids with meals. Trying hard to stay away from sweets. I eat organic mostly anyway now. Keep me I firmed with your progress. Have you taken pictures yet and measurements?

No I actually never thought about measurements. I planned to do pictures. I have my pre- op appointment on the 14th. I bet they will take some pics for me. I will keep ONE old outfit. I have 10 sizes of clothes still in my closet. How crazy is that.

      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! 😞
