Recommended Posts

Oh I'm so nervous and happy. Today I belive I get a weight in when I see the surgeon. Tomorrow my surgery day I'm all having thoughts that run through my head. . Am I that big do I really need this now? But there is one that sticks to me and that is why I'm still going through it. I hoping everything will be ok today and I get good news.

Stephanie, you can do this! Whenever I've faced some pretty daunting tasks, like walking into a surgery room three different times, I just focused on how great I'll feel an hour afterwards. Maybe not physically, but mentally I know I'll be so proud of myself for accomplishing such a big goal.

But most importantly, before they wheel you away towards your new life, take a moment to say goodbye to your old self. A therapist once told me that I was afraid of success. I do believe that. It's not failure that haunts me, because I'm very comfortable with that. But to make a change, and stepping out of my comfort zone, is absolutely terrifying. I think for whatever reason, most of us in this situation are afraid of success. Some of us, like myself, are afraid to see just how great we can become. We self sabotaged ourselves so indefinitely, we carved out this safe niche with food and stretchy pants.

Tomorrow is your change, butterfly. You'll be more than fine.

      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! 😞
