Feeling Human Today



Recommended Posts

I'm finally feeling human today. Admittedly, I was feeling better each day after the operation, but today I feel a lot less fuzzy. I think getting off the anti-nausea patch last night helped with that (although my vision is still blurry).

Yesterday, I started on mushies, and even before I put anything in my mouth, I had bad heartburn and felt kind of bummed out and uncomfortable. I have a lot less heartburn today. My incisions are itchy, but don't hurt as much. All in all, I'm feeling a bit more positive about the operation. I've lost 10 lbs or so so far, and it's probably mostly Water, but I like how loose my watch and ring feel! I have been eating my cottage cheese and refried Beans and eggs and yogurt, a little bit every couple of hours, and I don't feel starving like I did at the end of the liquid stage. I'm even considering what recipes to make that I can blend up in the soft foods stage.

It's like being ill and getting better; the best feeling in the world!

Glad you are feeling better! I wish I could go to mushies, I still have to wait 11 more days, argh! I can't wait to chew.

I did have an NSV today that made me not feel so sorry for myself. I was down a size in clothes, I needed new pants and was pretty excited when I went down a size!

That's great! When my dietician was talking about post surgery she made a suggestion for the mushie stage of Spaghetti Bolognese blended and risotto blended...I am already looking forward to giving it a try :biggrin:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
