Hi Everyone

My name is Vickie and I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 10/1/18. I am very excited to come across this website because having support of people who have gone and are going through this process makes all the ups and downs bearable. It's been 1 month since my surgery and have lost 25 lbs and prior to surgery, I lost 30 lbs. The challenge that I am undergoing is still being able to keep my Protein intake. I hope to connect with people who are going through this process and make new friends.

HI Vickie -

I just joined this group today, too. I am scheduled for the Sleeve on Dec. 18. I am looking forward to the support of this group and plan to give it back once I'm in a healthier position. It would be nice to find a couple of key mentors that have been in my similar position. Any takers?
Thanks,

Nicole

      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! 😞
