The feeling of being very uncomfortable and confession.



Recommended Posts

The incisions have got more tender after the glue and scans are coming off by themselves and I have sciatica in my right leg that is like lightening pain.

Just why...

I did a bad thing a cheated a little tiny bit on my full liquid diet with a few solids because I wanted to see what certain things tasted like now. My dumbass did it, yet my stomach didn't hurt or get upset. I got sleeved on the 6th and right after, I went straight back on the liquid diet. I am a dumbass and messed up, I know I messed up and went straight back to the full liquid. The 20th is my first follow up and I am ready for purée/mushy food.

I have lost 35lbs in total from a month before surgery and after surgery. I have been playing with my nephew a lot (Only if sciatica doesn't stop me.)

Sneezing is not my friend with these incisions.

Only know difference of where I lost weight at is my boobs, thighs, hips, my face got slimmer and my stomach jiggles a lot.

I did the same - at eight days out I had a few bits here and there. At my two week check up my nutritionist freaked out. I'm hoping no damage done.

I went back to liquids after.

My surgery plan had me on solids by day 4. So I have been eating solids since day 4. No harm done. Granted I had RNY, but my program has you on solids by day 4 if you have the sleeve as well.

As for sciatica pain, it is why I had the surgery. To try and prevent an other back surgery to alleviate the pain. I did end up having to get a nerve block after wls, because things had moved around during the surgery so the pain was so bad, but now at 3.5 months out, I feel so much better. I'm also 69 lbs down, including 2 weeks pre op diet.

      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!!

      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! 😞
