My best friend and I are 9 days post op. We will not be filled until June 27. We may soon find that we are able to eat like two little happy hogs! To keep ourselves on track until those fills, we are joining the challenge!

OK, my scales were down this morning. I'm not even going to count it until tommorow morning. I have to make sure it lasts. I have been stuck for so long I couldn't believe that I showed a loss.

To be continued..............

I've been absolutely horrible this past week. I'm in bandster hell right now waiting for my first fill. My appetite has been ravenous! I have got to get to exercising and watching my portions. Ugghh!! I'm so disappointed in myself right now. I'm afraid to weigh - I have a feeling I've gained.

Leslie, DOn't be so hard on yourslelf. Bandster hell is just that, HELL!!! When I was in bandster hell I remember thinking, "This works for everyone else, but it just isn't working for me. Those fears of this being "another failure" kept creeeping in. Don't entertain those thoughts. It does get better. Much better!! Just keep pressing on. You will reach your goal!!!!

I was supposed to go for a fill tommorow, but they called today and my doc is sick. Bummer. I really think I need another fill.

They don't have anyone else that does fills? That's gotta suck! When was your last fill?

We have an obesity treatment center that does the fills. There are a couple of people that do them there. My doctor also does them in his office, so I guess I can count myself lucky. Were you able to reschedule?

      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! 😞

      Aunty Mamo

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
