emotional after seeing before and after pics



Recommended Posts

my surgery is scheduled for the 15th, and i just love this site!!! i was viewing the before and after pics and just an overwhelming sense of relief rushed over me. I know Im just beginning my journey but to see the success of so many here, just is so awesome. I cant tell you how encouraging it is, how enlightening, how its a glimpse into the future realizing one day i will be shopping in the womens section and not the plus size! To know I will be more healthy and do the things I love so dear such as softball, volleyball, even joining up soccer!! Riding bikes with my kids, jogging, and just overall knowing I can get my health back!! I cannot tell you how the tears flowed this morning, and the gratefulness that took over to God and to my grandparents for giving this surgery to me as a blessing in my life. ARG even know im all teary. I am so ready!!! I am ready to lose this blasted weight that has plagued me! Thank you to everyone for posting your success to be inspiration to those just starting their journey.

Chicamam1 - I'm getting banded on the 15th as well. As with you, this site has been a great inspiration to me also. Here you will get the good, bad and the ugly -- but it's honest, candid and it will give you a honest prospective of what you're about to endure.

Good luck!

      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! 😞
