Finally feeling normal!



Recommended Posts

Yesterday marked my one month post op and I'm FINALLY starting to get my energy back! Not only that, but eating more food is really helping! I'm still losing weight and being very conscious of what I eat! I am down 35lbs and I don't know if that is too much or too little all I know is I'm happy with my decision FINALLY!

I am envious, I hope to get where you are soon. Tomorrow will be my 1 month and I have had my ups and down. I am going on vacation in 3 weeks and I can go back tot he gym in the pool in 2. Trial and error with food reintroducing it back in to my system and some work stress because I was gone so long and I am taking days off here and there because I feel horrible have me down so it is great to see it does get better!

Congrats! Doesn't it feel great to feel "normal" again? Today marks one month post surgery for me and I'm also back to "normal" although I feel like I am more tired at the end of the day than before surgery. (Maybe because I'm doing a lot more moving around and going to the gym everyday!) I am back to work full time and am eating actual food now, or at least incorporating a new food into my diet each day. I still drink one premier Protein drink which helps me get my 75-80 grams of Protein in each day. I was on a 9-10 day stall and that was frustrating, but I'm losing weight again (I weigh on Wednesdays and Saturdays only) so I'm glad I just stuck with the program and trudged onward. I've lost 38 lbs and have 88 more to go to get to my goal of 150. It still seems like a mountain to me, but I've changed my mindset and live each day at a time. I have found that by adding a little more food (protein) to my diet, I can spark the slow weight loss just a little bit and it makes me so happy! It's the little things that do it for me now.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
