Hey, just want to say “hello”...



Recommended Posts

Hi there, I’m new this site and WOW! It’s great! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for!! I had my initial consult with my Dr. at the end of August. I just finished my nutritional courses and I’m waiting for my final consult to set for Dec 5th. Then I’ll have my surgery date! Yesss!! It should be sometime in January! I’m having the sleeve. Although I’m extremely excited about this decision and very ready for this change, I am also quite apprehensive at the same time.

I have only lost 10lbs so far. I’m trying not to get discouraged with that at this point but rather focus on the positive changes I’ve made up to this point.

I just know I can’t do this on my own. I definitely need support from friends, family, and those who are and have gone through this. I need help, that’s for darn sure! Love reading all your stories and experiences ❤️🤗

      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! 😞
