Recommended Posts

I think I have too much on my plate!!!! I have been working on getting this sleeve for over a year. In the mean time I applied for a MSW program and to my surprise I got in.... now I’m like holy **** I’m getting the sleeve starting a Masters program and not to mention I have a family a 15 year old, 11 year old and 1 year old... I have to do this there is no putting anything on hold I have waited what seems like for ever for both opportunities... can anyone relate???

Yes, I can relate. I had a lot on my plate when I got my DS--I was also in graduate school, but honestly you'll be so happy when you start seeing the changes. It's doable. I also have two of my kids still living at home (not a one year old though. That would be hard). Keep moving forward with your eye on the ball: your health. Prioritize your to-do list, and plan your meals on the weekend. The first few months are the hardest. It gets easier.

You have this - breath. If you can handle and infant and teenager graduate school will be fine and the sleeve will be just part of a larger transformation. Sometimes structure makes change a little easier you are spot on there is never a good time - The time is now. [emoji38]

I can relate.. I work full-time, working on my Degree, i have 4 Boy’s(12y, 5y, 2y, &1y) I feel so overwhelmed at times. Especially if I can’t get everything done. The laundry sometimes sits for a few days and some night I make a quick dinner for my family. I just feel like I’m all over the place. So I totally can relate to what your feeling. I’m taking it day by day and keeping my eyes on the prize! Sexy by summer 2018!! [emoji322]

      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! 😞
