DVD of your surgery?



Recommended Posts

Ok. So I wasn't given a choice. As soon as I sat down to wait for the doctor, the MA slapped down a before, during, and after picture. My stomach looked like a chicken cutlet. I love the way my surgeron talked about it, during my surgery she had surgical interns and one was brand new and when she pulled the excess stomach out, he said "wow, now how is she going to even eat?" She told him that he could come ask me that when I got out of surgery. Aparently my response was "the same way as you, I open my mouth and the food goes in, i chew, and then I swallow, it might take longer than you, but I got this, now give me some ice chips."

I don't think I'd have the stomach to watch it. Oh, wait... :P

I suspect if my doc offered it, I'd watch it, but not before mealtime.

      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! 😞
