Awful Timing!



Recommended Posts

Venting since y’all will understand- I started my journey in October, and with my insurance, I could have gotten all done by Christmas. I waited though because I wanted my insurance to start over as I’ve got another procedure to do this year anyway. Plus, I didn’t want to rush into such a life changing surgery. I’ve lost 30lbs, did everything “on schedule “, educated myself and changed some habits. Tested positive for H Pylori and did so many antibiotics, I should have killed any bacteria in a 5 mile radius. Avoided COVID - even when my oldest tested positive - and didn’t even have my usual November sinus issues. Started my pre-op diet yesterday for my surgery on 3/3. Now, I have a cold!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!! I’m going to get a rapid test for safety sake, but it feels like a regular head cold. If this puts off my surgery, I’m going to be so mad!!

Hoping there are no big delays. Better to be safe if you have to wait, but I'm gonna cross my fingers and toes you get your surgery on schedule. Best Wishes!

Thank you! Luckily after a few days of sniffles, it progressed pretty quickly so I'm all good! Now just to pass my COVID test on Monday. That would really suck to find out it was more than just the crappy weather. I didn't get tested because 72 hours later, I was all better!

      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! 😞
