Thank you! How have your first four months been?

I can now say I'm very happy I had the surgery. But it was rougher than I anticipated. I'd had the lap band previously and had to have it removed. So I was familiar with weight loss surgery.

But recovery was hard. I think the biggest thing for me was, I didn't realize it'd be such a challenge to just eat and drink! (a new challenge with food for sure!) I was nauseous SO much. I was dehydrated too, just Miserable....but each month it's gotten better and things are going a lot smoother now.

Congrats on your date! Mine is March 12th. I feel like the days are dragging! I just try to keep busy and not to obsess about it because it's like torturing myself. Best wishes to you!

Day 2 post surgery. All is good, hopefully home this afternoon. No pain in abdomen but gas pains are there. Walking the halls trying to get it absorbed.

      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! 😞
