Okay so i had my surgery the 27th of june, things seem to be going good, like alot of people i have the pain around the port side, but it is getting better day by day. I know when i went in on the 26th i weighed 235 and when i left the hospital on the 30th i weighed 231. But other than that i am not weighing myself until my 1 mth appt. I will be obsessive about it if i dont' stand firm LOL...OH criminy i just thought i have to have my PCM remove my stiches in 10 days so he'll weigh me their...darn it!! okay ill just tell them i don't want to know how much i weight that will work. :thumbs_up:

To all of you banders, i say HOOAH!!! this is gonna be one heck of a journey!!

I had my husband hide the scales before my surgery so that I wouldn't worry about my weight, and just worry about healing. It's been great not being a slave to the scales. I know I've lost weight because I can feel it in my clothes and see it in body changes. The plan was to be weighed by my doctor tomorrow at my 2 week follow-up. Those are the last scales I was weighed on anyway.

Those plans got slightly changed when I bought a Wii Fit yesterday. The program figured out my weight and BMI. I'm not using those numbers as "real" though. I want to see what the surgeon's scales say!

I'm thinking that the scales can stay hidden and I'll let the Wii program track my progress through the activities.

      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! 😞
