I just got off the phone with my mom. I have to stay with her when I have my surgery(I live in mental health housing they dont want to be responsible for my surgery) she tells me that she forgot the day of my surgery(may 28) and that my aunt(a nun) has this big conference to go to and needs my mom to keep an eye on some infirm nuns the week of my surgery. I dont mean to make my mom choose but seriously? Theres a choice? I told her it was the 28th.

I guess I could call my surgeons office and change the date but I did that already.... I wasnt completely comfortable with my 1st date wanted to wait a month.

I really dont want to extend the time.. I was getting used to may 28.

I am just really annoyed I have to stay with her.

This totally sucks right now

Please forgive my whining

Talk with your mom about how important that date is for you and you don't want to postpone your surgery. Ask here to tell her sis that she had an obligation .that was already set.and to find someone else. Wasn't this something she knew before her sister's request ? Stand up for yourself. If your mom won't budge..can u stay say someone else's house. After my surgery, I did not need care from someone. However, my daughter did check on me during the day while my husband was set work. Good luck.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
