The biggest down side of surgery I have experienced so far...



Recommended Posts

Like everyone else, I have purchased a whole new wardrobe. Down to Medium and Small top size, and mostly size 8 with some size 6 pants. And with these sizes, I am having fun buying "CUTE" outfits. When I am big I focus on functional outfits, but I like the way these fit so I want cute too! BUT......... my 16 year old daughter keeps RAIDING MY CLOSET! I can't tell you how many of my sweaters she has already stolen. A co-worker and I were talking about shoes and I mentioned how my feet shrank. She asked what size and said she had a closet full of shoes she barely wore that don't fit her anymore. She gave me a bag full. Then my daughter immediately tried steeling the first pair she saw me wear! I feel like I have to add locks on my closet doors!

LMAO... I guess there are worse problems to have, but thought you might be amused like I am (when I am not mad that I can't wear the new top that I planned to wear today).

That's awesome you and your daughter can now share clothes and probably look like sisters now

I'd definitely call that a non-scale victory, although it sounds like your daughter is the victorious one...😁

Sounds like you have an opportunity to raid her closet as well. Congrats.

Well, I am not confident enough in my body to raid HER closet lol. Plus, teenage girls can get away with a lot more than a 48 year old woman. She wears a lot of those crop style shirts and such. Her pants are also smaller (although we are close to being the same size - she is size 4-6, I am 6-8) and all her jeans are majorly ripped jeans lol. So unfortunately the clothing exchange is still a one sided theft that only she can partake in haha

On a separate note... I got a new bathing suit that I love :) One piece so that my stomach is held a little flatter than it really is.

      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! 😞
