Recommended Posts

No pain, just SUPER grossed out by all the drinking. I feel very hungry, nothing satisfies. Little regret today, I'm sure out will pass

I'm scared of this feeling, too. But... knowing that there is light at the end of the crappy beginning tunnel keeps me going to getting the surgery. Each day you will get better and better. Remember, your stomache is in a state of shock right now. Keep at it!!! It's ok to have the feelings of regret, but once you are recovered in a few weeks you will LOVE your sleeve!! AND THE NEW YOU!!!!

It is hard to drink all the Protein stuff. I'm about 2.5 weeks out, and it got better again for me. I was sooooo over the shakes when i was around where you are and for several days on and off, but it's been getting better for me lately because it's now just what I have to do, so I don't think about it as much. I also got to start purees so I had a quarter cup of greek yogurt w/ Protein powder friday, and refried Beans yesterday and today along with the Protein Shakes. I don't see myself being able to get my Protein in without them for quite some time, so they are just going to be part of life for a while for me. I hope tomorrow is a better day!

I'm 3 days in and feel sick, headache, and very hungry. shakes 2xs a day, veggies and some fruit only. I'm thinking there has to be a better way. Surgery is 1/5. Now I'm not sure.

I forgot I can have sugar free Jello, but feel like I'm going to get sick. And yes chicken broth and sugar free pops, but I'm over it! Lol and I'm only 3 days in!!!! I keep trying to think of the goal but it's hard, very hard.

Hang in there! The head hunger is one of the toughest stages but once you get to the purée stage you will start to feel better. Take it slow and remember this is a life long journey that you will be so happy you are a part of.

      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... :(
