I'd have to hurt someone of they try that with me..lol I have little "time until" tickers on my phone. Time until last pcp visit, time until surgeon visit to submit to insurance etc.... So, yeah, I'm a lil anxious! Good luck. Can't wait to follow along and see how it goes for you!

I have major thyroid issues which is making it very hard for me to lose at all. I'm scared because my insurance denies if u are even a pound over your starting weight during the process so I'm basically just trying not to gain at this point. I was always heavy, but active until my thyroid went crazy. Now I'm too tired for anything, it sucks! I went from hiking and kayaking to couch sitting and channel surfing....lol

Damn sorry to hear that, my main issue is my sleep apnea, causes me to feel tired all the time, literally exhausted. Its so frustrating, i have a cpap that i stopped using due to feeling suffocated. I can't even sleep in the same room as my baby, she wakes up scared because of my snoring. So im in the couch, soo i am looking forward to get down in weight and being able to breath better when i sleep.

I have sleep apnea and the dreaded c pap also. I don't wear mine because I'm a side sleeper and it slips off and shoots air in my eyes and makes noise and drives me insane. Not to mention the marks it leaves on my face to like 2 hours after I wake up. I feel like Hannibal lecter which is such an attractive look. My bf is supportive but works swing shift. 7 days of each of the 3 shifts with 2 days off between, so I end up on the couch half the time too... #fatlife

The hardest part of this journey so far is the wait. I have a tentative date in July but still have to go through the approval process after my 90 days. I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnia and get my machine this week. i'm a couch sleeper as well but it is because of back issues. I can no longer lay down to sleep without severe pain. I sleep in the sitting position now. I'm hoping the weight loss will help some with that.

I sleep sitting down also, horrible for circulation. Sometimes i fall asleep laying down and wake up sitting up. It sucks

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
