Sept 18..Band to Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Things are much better than yesterday. I was so constipated. Not to be graphic, but it felt like someone had their whole fist up my butt. I called the nurse and begged to drink some citrus magnesium. The nurse encouraged me to try milk of magnesium first. I tried, and the suffering continued the whole day. I girlllll when I drank half that bottle, life began in about 40 mins. Lol! Today I had some minor stomach pain in the morning, and I took some Ibuprofen. I was good all day. I think I am completely off the sizzuyrup. That stuff was just too much for me. Every time I poured my shot I would think about Little Wayne. Lol! How are you feeling?

Girl let me tell ya, I am beginning to feel the same way LOL, I had to ask what to take for Constipation and they told me to use senokot. My Dr told me I had to much tissue damage so I am still on liquids, except I am on thick liquids, like Protein shakes and cream Soups. I can't start the semi solids until next week. I am with you, girl I couldn't take it anymore either so I was with you and Lil Wayne LOL....Today is a much better day, I feel little to no pain, and beginning to feel like me again, especially after losing 10lbs girl I couldn't believe it....I am loving it and it shows in my clothing, girl I had to pull out an old bra from when I was a few pounds lighter :)

Oh that's wonderful! I have also lost 10 pounds. I know that things will continue to look up for us. I hope your stomach gets some relief. That Constipation is no joke. See if you can drink some citrus magnesium. You know that will work. Just just need some help with the unclog and you can go from there.

      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.

      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! 😞
