Not very good at waiting



Recommended Posts

My final appt and clearance was 04/04 so all info sent off to BCBS, hoping to hear back quick since we already verified coverage during my process, but over 2 weeks and Im still waiting for my call to give me my surgery date. Ugh ugh pouty face.

I wasn't either but I wished I had used my pre-surgery time more productively. For example, I see a therapist and I wished I had broached the discussion of the possibility that I would feel markedly worse after the procedure. I wish I had spent the time preparing for the mental difficulty. Instead, I spent the time thinking of the physical misery that I might encounter. In all irony, I had very little physical discomfort. My issues were all mental.

This is the first week that I am really starting to feel like the depression is lifting. Physically, I've been doing okay. I began exercising two weeks ago. I had surgery on March 12th.

Sorry about the depression, hopefully it keeps getting better for you. Was it something you struggled with before surgery or judt afterwards? How much weight have u lost so far ? Do you have the sleeve? Or gastric?

      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! 😞
