Last day at work until 4 weeks post op :)



Recommended Posts

Today is my last day at work until after surgery. My sleeve is on Monday morning :) I am so excited. I've made it to day 5 of my preop diet, and have not cheated even once. I'm already down 10 lbs!! I am so excited to finally be having my surgery, and am so looking forward to my new life!! I work as a nurse in an OB/gyn office, and will be out for four weeks, returning on August 25th. I really hope recovery goes well, and I'll get to enjoy some of this time off like vacation, lol!

Awsome, I know the feeling all too well... I was sleeved on Monday May 5th so a Friday like this one back on May 2nd was my last Friday too... enjoy the time off, heal well, you'll feel pretty good 4 days out, and great almost like your old self 7 days out. Make sure you walk walk walk -- it's the only thing that really helps the gas and bloating discomfort. You'll be sooo happy after it's done. I have not had one complication, I'm almost 3 months out, 45 lbs down and feel TERRIFIC!! Enjoying the new me, down 3 dress sizes and lotsss of energy... love love love it! Good luck, keep us posted.

      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! 😞
