Damn, I did a good job!



Recommended Posts

I had a follow up appointment with my surgeon this week, 7 months post-op. He told me I'm doing fantastic, should lose about 15 more lbs, and then, looking me dead in the eye and stated, "damn, I did a good job!"

He did, and I did too! I'm in shock daily at how for I've come this year. My head hasn't caught up yet though, and most days I still feel fat, despite what i see in the mirror. I'm OK with that though, because gives me the motivation to keep making good choices and keeps me from being complacent.

My husband and I went out last night to Celebrate our anniversary and we took a picture together (the one on the right, cropped him out for privacy). I just keep staring at it, I can't believe it's me, what I have dreamed of accomplishing all of my life.

Anyway, no real point to this post, other than I feel good, I feel happy, and I just wanted to share that damn, we're all doing a good job!

I hope when your Dr said DAMN I DID A GOOD JOB, you told him that YOU did a GREAT JOB!!! They give us the tool but we really do the work. lol I had my Panni done in Sept of 2015 every time I went in to see the PS he wanted to take pictures. I told him, You sure are proud of your work aren't you!! He loved it!! BTW You look Awesome!!

Again, you look great! Your hair looks good too... any loss yet? I'm terrified of losing my locks.

I've lost about 50% of my hair. It's coming back now, tons of regrowth. I was really upset when it was coming out, but realized there is nothing I can do about it so I just accepted it. Worst months were 2-5 after surgery.

Yikes. Any tricks to hide it? Scalp tint?

My hair is curly so I just blow it out to make it look like it has more body. Also take the Biotin and use nioxin Shampoo and conditioner, I swear that is helping the regrowth. Oh, also a shorter cut with layers really helped!

      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! 😞
