I started a new job about 3 months before I had surgery. Told my boss and HR and 1 trusted coworker what I was doing. No one noticed or said anything about my weight loss until I lost well over 50 lbs, more like 65 lbs before they said anything to me. The HR head actually asked to see an old picture of me because she couldn’t remember what I looked like before. It’s been really easy. Someone who was overweight asked me and I took her aside and told her what I did. Everyone else I told that I had a health issue and had to lose weight (true) so I was doing high Protein small portions. My cover story was gallbladder surgery.

I told my nosey coworkers that I gave up bread, rice, Pasta and potatoes and I have Protein with every meal. I didn't tell them about having the sleeve because it's none of their business. I only told those that are close to me and would support my decision.

      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! 😞
