Hi everyone! My name is Trish and yesterday I had my sleeve surgery. I'm so excited about my new life. I've stocked my kitchen at home for success and I'm ready to move forward with life. I'm a single Mom, 42 and new to this world!

Hi! Sorry for the delay in writing. Things are going really well. I haven't gotten the hang of getting all of my medications in, BUT , I'm getting the essentials in. Tonight I'm setting up alarms to remind me to take things at various times. I feel pretty good actually. I just made myself get up and do my 30 minute walk though I didn't want to...lol. taking it slowly. The first night was the worst in terms of pain, but after I filled the prescription for pain. I slept like a baby last night and woke up in less pain! I did take my pain meds tonight because I'm hoping for a nice long nights sleep! Please let me know how your surgeries go! It was weird not feeling hunger. I think today was the first day I've been hungry this week!

Sounds like your doing great! I have also found that setting alarms is very helpful! Having a plan for each day, laying out my "meals", and keeping a journal (I use "lose it.com) of meals and weight. Congrats and keep it up!

      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! 😞
