Morning everyone...hello cloey!

I still reall dont sleep on my side only because there is still a tiny bit discomfort and dont want to aggrivate anything or develop any unnecessary scar tissue...so i sleep on my side propped with pillows likeni did when i was pregnant.... Its actually really comfortable i wondered why i hadnt been sleeping like this before lol....

Curious how everyone is doing with sugar...i know its supposed to be all sugar free but i have the ok to have sugar since artificial sweeteners taste like acid to me...i still try though hoping i find the right combo... Stevia is what i keep trying since its the best...any suggestions???

Have a good day everyone!

I can only sleep on my back now- I have pain in my belly sleeping on my sides or stomach- but more so when I get out of bed I have a a very sharp pain in my abdomen muscles my doc says it's a spasm caused by a suture he gave me muscle relaxers that help. He said this is a very rare thing. Just wondering if anyone else dealt w this??

      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.

        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... :(
