Dr. Visit Today



Recommended Posts

Had a check up today, I am not feeling my best, due to my aunt Flo arriving 5 days early. I have lost 6lbs in 3wks, the Dr. said that I was retaining Water, and probably have actually lost a little bit more, he showed me how the scales knew that, cause I was amazed he could tell I was retaining, I can feel it but I had no idea the scales measure it. He filled the band 0.75cc today because for the last 3 days I have been feeling tighter and he said that was likely due to the Water retention which around that time of the month presses on the band, again I learned something new so I have 3.75cc in my band right now I just ate 2 eggs, I don't feel stuffed like he says I will if it is filled tight enough, but I do feel satisfied with what I've eaten. After my appointment I stopped in at Speedway, I don't like to reward myself with food for the most part, but I decided coffee doesn't count lol, so I got myself an 8oz coffee and put sugar free caramel in it, and 2 half and half Creamers, and some splenda, it really did the trick because the Subway stop I had planned for a tuna salad just didn't interest me after I had the coffee. I then ran up to get my taxes done, by the time I got home I was ready to eat. For me as long as the scales are going in the right direction, I will be patient with the band.

      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! 😞
