Oh please!

I don't think I really was a MAN until I read that thread - I went in a boy, emerged a man...

Good info all... Did some schedule changes, and am now scheduled to be banded next Wednesday, June 18. That gives me an extra 10 days to recover for these activities. Plus, I get started sooner. Plus I have 10 less days to worry about the procedure :behindsofa:

Indeed it does! Smart move. And those of us who had to wait over a year are frankly jealous!

At least some of them.

At least me.

i stayed home one day after surgery then went to work the day after. I had no choice, and I'm stubborn too. I took it easy - didnt lift anything but I felt 100%better in about 1 week. Pace yourself and know evryone is different

      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! 😞
