I'm done. I'm sitting here watching television with my sis and daughter. Doc says I can get up at 5:00. Can't wait to get up and walk.I'm only in a little pain but I think it's from the gas.

Congrats natur! I hope surgery was good and you are feeling better. Walk as much as you can, it will help the gas and pain. Looking forward to hearing your progress!

I hope your surgery went well and you are your way to a better, healthier life.

The first month is the hardest but you will make it through. Keep telling yourself that there isn't any food that is worth dying for and leaving your daughter motherless. My ex-husband spent six months in agony and unable to communicate, after having a stroke related to Type 1 diabetes. He died at 50. Seeing how he was treated in hospitals and nursing homes resulted in me having my WLS. I never want to be in the same position.

My mind constantly says you will never have that again.

You are lucky you can have salad. I was stuck with just liquids, so be grateful you get to chew.

The amount of time your diet is limited is very short, about 6 months. Once you are healed you can eat just about anything. Hopefully at that point you won't want to.

I'm almost 2 years out, I can eat anything I want. I just choose not to.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
