Sitting in pre-surgery, got my surgical gown on, vitals taken, iv going, this is real! It's really happening. I get my life back! I get to be the mom I've always wanted to be, to have the energy to go ride bikes, to play in the park, to play tag and be able to keep up. Life is amazing. <3

Awesomeness! When you come to, start drinking broth rather than Water. There are 6grams of Protein in every cup of clear chicken broth. It promotes muscle repair and energy!

Thanks everyone for checking in on me. I'm doing well, but struggling with Water. I normally would drink about 70-80 ounces a day pre-surgery, but now about 2 sips and I feel it's backing up my esophagus. I carry water everywhere I go, but it's not liking me to well right now. Decaf tea seems to go down better. Why is that? Anyway, my tummy is still new and trying to figure it all out. I'll persevere with the water, I'm sure it'll work itself out eventually and I'll be to to my 60+ ounces soon. Again, thanks for checking on me

      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! 😞
