Can't believe my surgery is tomorrow...



Recommended Posts

Hello to everyone,

My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. I am feeling so many emotions, I almost want to cry. After years of losing weight only for it to come back when I whenever I would eat carbs has been very heartbreaking for me, I felt like I will have to be on a diet all my life and I would never overcome this weight problem.

I revealed to my neighbor who has been skinny all his life that I am having the sleeve, he told me "why don't you try working out and eating healthy"

Only a person that has had weight issues can relate to how that comment is not at easy as it sounds. I did very well on all my past diets to lose the weight, but it would always somehow make it's way back. Whenever I would eat, I would actually get hungrier after I am done eating and just keep eating. I never feel full when I eat, I feel like this only happens to me.

I have great plans ahead to lose the weight and keep it off. Thank you to you everyone for your informative posts! xoxo

      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! 😞
