Hello there! I’m a 36 year old mom of 3. I have always been on the high end of a healthy BMI but after the birth of my first child my weight just kept creeping up. I am 5’8 and at my wedding I was 168lbs now 7 years later I was staring at 270lbs. I decided enough was enough and I contacted a bariatric clinic. Everything moved very quickly (self pay) and a month later I was sleeved.
I am only a week post op, so looking for advice and support. :)

welcome to the forum @Shanto. You have just spent your money wisely !!! This is the best tool you could have. as long as you follow your surgeon and nutritionalist instructions to a T you will do great. I don't know if you have a ongoing nutritionalist or not since you are self pay just stay on this forum ask any questions ,read other people questions and responses . drinking Water, water,water is the most important thing you do right now and of course walk a lot to get rid of the gas . stick with us and you will do just fine. Again Welcome and feel free to message people and ask questions.... just remember everyone's journey is different and do not judge your progress by anyone else's.....

Thank you!! Right now I have been experiencing diarrhea for the last day or so. I’ve been following the post op diet so I’m not sure what’s causing it.

      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! 😞
