Congratulations to you! My surgery is scheduled for the 23rd (next week). I'm so nervous but I'm so excited to have those moments. One of my mini goals is to be able to wear the dresss I wore to my rehearsal dinner for my wedding. It's been ten years and I loved that dress. Yes I've kept it all this time in hopes I could get it on. :) I can't wait to wear it again. Serioulsy, I'm so happy for you!

I told him about the esophagus spasms I had being I also had hernia repair. .he said it didn't surprise me..it's major surgery. ..all nerves are detached..so he gave me some lidocaine to spray way back in throat to numb..but I told him the first 5 days were worst an there easing up..much better..after day 1 since I still couldn't sip bc of pain spasm I told my surgeon I wanted another day of iv fluids didn't want dehydrated so I spent 2 full days..don't leave hospital unless u can down liquid...yea it's going to take around the waking hrs to sip but I no some drs are fast to get u out like u no wat. ..talk to him be for ur date an then remind him of wat u bog talked about..believe me they don't remember they do this soo much! Hang in there...oh an I have been using the chike nutrition Protein flavors an I bout a different brand at Kroger unflavor Protein I put it in my Soups,coffee, tea..yogurt..whatever food just to make sure I'm getn enuff protein. .you can do this!! :)

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
