It has been so hard to do liquids. But I'm hanging in there. 30th is right around the corner. My pre-op is the 25th

Awesome! I found a sleeve buddy :) Let's keep each other posted :)

YES! GOOD LUCK TO YOU TO SLEEVE BUDDY! Did your insurance come through?

I am tentatively set for the 30th. Just waiting on insurance approval. Hopefully I will know by the end of the week. On liquids til the 30th! WE can do this! GOOD LUCK

My flight to San Diego leaves in a little less than 4 hours. Then across the border into Mexico and straight into surgery! I cannot believe that the time is already here! I'm so excited but so scared at the same time! Good luck my fellow 9/24 sleevers!

I was sleeved on Sept 9. I was reversed from Lap Band. I also had to have my gullbladder taken out. The pain at first was unbearable but I am feeling wonderful now. I tried to go back to work in 6 days. That didn't work out very well for me. I ended up taking off the rest of the week. I am back to work now. I have a desk job and have a little discomfort where my big incision is due to my pants sitting on it all day. I am on soft foods. Everything seems to be going to down great. I can only take 3 bites of my food and then I am full but hungary again in 2 hours or so. I am 2 weeks and 1 day post op and I am down 21 pounds. Still have aobut 70-80 more that I would love to loose.

Do you feel hunger pains? How do you know you are hungry?

Usually my belly starts to growl like it use to so I take 2 or 3 bites of something and it goes away and I am full again.

My stomach start to growl, like it use to before the surgery. I take 2-3 bites of something and then full again for a while.

      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! 😞
