Post surgery downfall....



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had surgery and then you go down the line after losing weight then you just sort of fall off track? I’ve lost a lot of weight but it’s hard to keep up with going to the gym, eating healthy, and keeping up with everything in life that I do. The question is who else has had struggle keeping up with the balance? And how have you found ways around it that make it more manageable?

I have not had my surgery yet, but what was told to me by my doctor is to look at the excerise as a prescription. You need to have it to stay healthy.

The enthusiasm you once had fades. Life gets busy. What is your goal right now? Is it to get back on track after a regain? Is it maintaining at your current weight?

I am 6 months post op and I slid off for a bit and then I got angry at food for taking over me and being in control over me. I have to put my recovery over drugs/alcohol/food first or I can't be the wife/mom/friend etc. It's crazy living life on life's terms and doing what's right, but I have to be selfish or I can't be there for others.

      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! 😞
