3 Year Update with Blog & Pics



Recommended Posts

So September 12th was my 3 year surgiversary. I don't know why I've been putting off updating, but I think it's just hard to put into words everything this surgery has done for me or -rather - has enabled me to do for myself.

I wrote a blog post with my update and some of my favorite pictures from the journey. For those of you wondering if the surgery can work long term, read the post..... it can if you do!

Thank you for sharing your story! Congratulations on keeping it off, all of the hard work was definitely worth it, you are inspiration. I am newly sleeved (11/3) and I just found your blog thanks to your post. I love how honest you are about hair loss, I have seen significant Hair loss after this surgery (in a family member) and I was always intrigued. Even when the hair loss stopped it never went back to its normal self. I made a note of the products you recommended and I'm curious if taking those products BEFORE the hair loss occurs will help at all? I've heard many people say the Biotin supplements didn't really matter at all.

Congrats on starting your journey! I didn't find that Biotin really helped. I don't know if the products I listed would help preventatively or not. I can say that now, 3 years post op, I'm back to a full, thick head of hair.

      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! 😞
