I had lap band 9 years ago, revising to bypass on 13th

Are you nervous? I was shaking right before. I'm glad to have finally gotten it done.

It comes and goes...

I was super nervous then I started getting excited...

Then the other day I was at a store, in front of me at check out was this very overweight man, I looked at the items he was buying, ice creams, pizzas etc all the stuff with not much nutrition but bunch of calories and sugar... Then I looked at my cart (I had veggies, broths, meat, sugar free jellos etc) and thought to myself "what is wrong with me that I can't do this on my own, that I have to have my intestines rearranged to help me lose weight"

But I do need help because obviously I can't do this in my own or and the lap band didn't help me to get to where I need to be.

I am nervous about complication, about not losing weight, about being sick if I can't tolerate food etc. but I am going through with it.

I am sure I will be a mess the day before and the day of :)

I'm excited to start dropping pounds. I want to walk by a mirror and not cringe when I see myself. It was a long process to finally have it done I'm glad my waiting game is now over. Hopefully it's mostly smiles from here on out.

It's been 5 days since my sleeve. I can't manage to get my fluids or Protein in. After I drink some protein or broth my stomach aches. Low calorie Gatorade is about all I can tolerate. Everything taste overpowering. I'm tired and run down. I'm afraid it will always be like this. :(

It won't always be like this. The difficulty drinking is caused be swelling and inflamation, which will get better and better. Once you are healed, you will be able to drink Water without discomfort.

      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.

      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! 😞
