Just had my surgery on July 16th 2018



Recommended Posts

I’m bored. I’m having moments of extreme hunger. Have three kids at home I cook for. I wanted chicken nuggets so badly yesterday but I’m having talks with myself and keeping full withh Protein Shakes, yogurt, cottage cheese, and Soups. Boring but looking at the big picture. Tried eggs a couple days ago and they came back up. Hoping to try again this week. I am waiting to see a big change in my shape and notice weight loss-as are the people around me I’m sure. I just have to remember it’s a process. Some people loose really quickly others more slowly. I have to up my exercise game as soon as my soreness eases up a little bit.

Hey Tyson has some, chicken nugget sized but no evil breading just tastes like grilled chicken breast. Runs about $7 a bag but it's a pretty good size.

feeling super exhausted although today i don't feel as tired as last two days....but boy could I stay in bed late, lol. I think i feel a little better each day. I stopped taking the tylenol w/ codeine my surgeon prescribed for pain, it was so nasty going down and I only used it to sleep, so I'm 2 days off that. I drove yesterday for the first time, felt good to get out. Tomorrow is my day 7 post diet, and i'm thinking of bumping up next diet phase by one day....what the heck right? IDK yet. sleeping and rolling over on occasion i feel a tightness, but nothing more.

I know exactly how u feel. I stopped my pain meds on Wednesday night they just made me feel tired. What foods are you thinking for this week?

My 17 yr old daughter is your surgery day buddy! She has recovered quickly but I'm concerned that shes not getting enough nutrition. She takes her medicine with a sip or two of Water in the morning and is full for hours. I try to sneak unflavored Protein into her Soup and she instantly knows lol. I hoping we can find something nutritious that she will actually eat. So far Syntrax Nectar is saving the day!

      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! 😞
