Sept date I am all set



Recommended Posts

Mine is Sept 4th, I purposely scheduled it that way so I have an extra day off work due to the Labor Day holiday. I'm curious, how much time are you guys planning to take off work? I was planning to take off Sept 4-18. I'm a social worker and I'm out in the field a lot, but my doctor said I can return after two weeks on light desk duty.

I am taking 2 weeks & I will see how it goes. I work retail so I am on my feet 8-9 hours a day

After your surgery sip Water and walk. Of course you will question your decison to have surgery. But it will all be worth it. You wouldn't have gone this route if there was a simpler way for you. Also, of course, everything about the way you eat is irrevocably changed. I am 6 weeks out. You learn to eat slowly and stop when you begin to fel full, not to be "good" but to spare yourself side effects. And it will feel great when you are out to a restaurant to have a meal with family and after eating about 1/5 of the meal in front of you push it away and say, "That was delicous. I'm done." Good luck.

      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! 😞
