The right decision



Recommended Posts

This morning I went off to have my blood work done prior to surgery tomorrow and decided to get something to wear to dinner tonight(I’m watching them eat, lol), the BF and I are going out with his friend and wife and wanted to look good.

I tried on multiple options and the staff in one of the stores saw how this shopping trip affected my mood and they started pulling options for me. Needless to say I walked out with nothing, only a new pair of morning slippers for the hospital.

While walking up catch a taxi I couldn’t be more grateful that tomorrow would be the start of the new me. I vowed not to buy anything until the new year because I never want to feel the way I did today.

I tried on the clothes in the store which I never do because I avoid the dreaded lighting which shows all flaws but today while looking at myself I took a look at the last fat me. I can’t wait for the new me.

I have made the right decision

Hi Everyone, all went well with my surgery and I’m back to work already. I have not not weighed myself since my Drs visit(I’m one that’s jumps on the scale every morning), I just don’t have the desire to. I think I’m scared of being disappointed

Great to hear! Glad all has gone well for you. Congrats on your new journey.
Don't be afraid of disappointment. I am on my scale daily. I'm almost 4 weeks out and have lost 35lbs 28 of it after surgery. I had a few days of no loss and it picked up quick. While in the "stall" I actually lost inches vs weight. Good luck keep us posted!

Wow! Congrats on your loss, that’s an amazing amount lost. I think I’m going to bite the bullet and weigh on Friday, it would be 8 days postop then.

      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! 😞
