I just wanted to say thank you to everyone. I might not post often but I read everyone's posts non stop. I was sleeved on 4/27 Truth be told I am still scared that this won't work. That I will be the one freak of nature that doesn't lose weight and get healthy again. I keep thinking what I am feeling post op could not be normal. But seeing everyone's posts helps me realize we are all different but all still so the same and every day is a new chapter in this journey. It took TEN MONTHS for me to get through my bariatric process. Ten months of feeling defeated and like this was never going to happen. And then it finally did. What an emotional roller coaster. I am so glad to have found this app. Even if it was just a few days before surgery. All my questions that I forget to ask my surgeon are answered in some form here. When I have anxiety with thoughts racing through my head, I just pop on here and then I look at the clock and realize I have been reading about people's journeys for hours. I find myself hopeful and positive once again. I return to work tomorrow 5 days post op. I know i can handle this now. And if ever I feel like I can't, it's nice having somewhere to turn to.

You are going to do great.

You are in the toughest days of it.....that first month.

After that you'll kick off those training wheels and really start to coast....and in no time at you'll be jumping ramps.

Much respect for your fast return to work.

Remember to have fun along the way and do things that interest you.

Thanks I appreciate it! It's a beautiful but scary journey! Super happy to return to work! My theory is I spend more time with my co-workers than I do my own family so they are my fam too and sometimes my biggest form of support. Can't wait to see them all

      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! 😞
