Not a single soul!? LOL

Guess I’m just an April Lone Ranger.

April 23 revision from the sleeve to gastric bypass and I'm scared out of my mind but I look forward to being free of the Gerds.

Soft foods, yum. I will get there tomorrow.

If you don't mind me asking, which procedure did you have in 2004?

I don’t mind at all. I had RNY in 2004. Lost 130 lbs. My weight started to creep back up 5 years later and I could tolerate sweets. It’s been a long road to find out what was wrong and a surgeon who was willing to fix it. So glad to be back with a fully functioning RNY.

Sleeved April 3rd. Height 5.5, SW 242.5, CW 229, GW 140
For those who are post op, how was it for you? How are you feeling? How much have you lost?
I feel fine, just a bit dizzy in the morning, take my Vitamins, Water, Protein Shake and heparin.
A bit disappointed because I feel like I have not lost much, but then hey, it’s a journey and this just the beginning!

My surgery is with Dr. Dong. I am on 3rd day liver diet, feeling light headed but I have stuck to the plan so far. The support group I go to is the one held every 1st or 2nd Monday of the month. If you are seeing Debra on Tuesday you can ask her for the information.

Don't worry everything will be fine.

I am having the sleeve. On my first appointment my weight was 260 with a BMI 42. I am now down to 253 hoping to loose at least another 10lbs before surgery 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! 😞
