SURGERY ON TUESDAY!



Recommended Posts

Well..All the waiting is finally over! Tuesday 6:30 A.m. I report to the surgery center. Not really sure how I feel right now. Mostly excited about changing my life, but still not sure really wrapped my head around all of this yet.

I'm mostly concerned about the loose skin. I lost 100 pounds two years ago but I lost that way very slowly. No issues with skin being loose then. I have made at least one trip to the gym and talk things over with a trainer. Planning to go and develop a program with the trainer so I can follow it daily and hopefully avoid the loose skin.

Anyway here goes nothing! Wish me good luck!!!!

Good luck!!!! It is a life changer!!!

As far as loose skin I was freaking out about it also, but so far so good. I also lost 120 lbs. slowly before and had no loose skin, and this time I am down 105 lbs. so far with no loose skin issues so far.

Thanks bellalulu, Taylor, & SoCal. Appreciate the best wishes. It's been one hell of a day. Surgery is done! Just trying to get my heart rate higher and my BP to drop.

Surgery was a blur. Once the anesthesia hit I was out cold!!!

Feeling ok so far. Good drugs!! Got up and took a walk and will take another before night is up.

So far so good!!!

The more you can walk the better you will feel. Hard to believe when you are there but true.

      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! 😞
