In what ways did surgery change y'all life?

Well, I got a new healthier body, a better job, my 1st real relationship.

I used to be a complete introvert, I'm now an extroverted introvert. :-P

You would have never caught me on camera pre-surgery.

AND best of all, I'm no longer going to be "one of the first to go" when the Zombie Apocalypse happens. (Watch the movie Zombieland to get the reference.)

Well, I'm not too far out yet, only two months, but yesterday I attended my first yoga class! I couldn't get into all the positions due to my bad knees, but I'm proud of how well I kept up. I'm also exercising on my own at least an hour each day. None of this would have been possible not too long ago.

Also I have this bean bag chair that I was always afraid to sit on in fear I wouldn't be able to get up from it unassisted. But now I can!

I think "can" has become my new favorite word! ????

Awesome awesome awesome, I'm nervous and excited to see the changes that come Iv always been overweight so it would be strange for me. Did your guys surgery boost your confidence and I'm currently on anti anxiety and depressant pills did it help at all emotionally! And yes zombie land is one of my favs!?!

      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! 😞
