Just a helping hand

There are some very nice people in a private fb group, we all have or are having surgery in July so we all support each other. It's a small group but always welcoming others that are having surgery in July 2015. Just message me your FB email and I will invite you. This is a private group on FB so no one your friends with will even know your in it or see posts no matter how your privacy setting are set.

There are other groups for other months as well and I can refer you to the person who can add you to any group, but I can add to July.

Note to all: This appears to be a spoof and opens to what seems to be a fake FB page

Chrissy I never got an email to have you added to the July group on FB and there's no link in message to connect to any FB group, it's a private group by invite only so we have a close knit group of people all of which have or will have surgery this month. If youlD like message me your email and I will certainly get you invited to the group if your surgery date was or will be this month.

Everyone that messaged me with email should be in private FB group now or have invites sitting there waiting for them to answer :-)

Personally my wife is going through some stuff now as well though. She is my support and she takes on a lot too with no real dietician, surgeon, internist, or groups to help her cope or give ideas or even bounce thoughts off of.

Sooooo.....

I decided to follow the lead idea of the July WLS private FB I was invited to and am a part of and I set up a private WLS group on FB for significant others, husbands, wives, etc to have a place and people to talk to that are going thru all this with us. I think they need each other as much as we need each other.

So if anyone has a support person that's on FB and interested please feel free to message me with their email/FB name and mention support person group and I'll add them to that group. I think it'll be awesome as the are awesome in our journey and it affects them as well.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
