Really Great Day



Recommended Posts

Today I went to Old Navy, and I went for the XXL pajamas as per usual and when I tried them on they fell off!!! I bought them in XL and they are even big...just wanted to share it was a fantastic experience.

I also made an incredible dinner:

I took my slow cooker and added:

2 chicken breasts

1 Can of Black Beans

2 cans no sodium crushed tomatoes

2 Tsp Cumin

a couple dashes of hot sauce

Chili powder

I left it for the day and when I got home I shredded the chicken with a fork. It was a shredded chicken black bean chili. I sprinkled cheese on for the husband and put it on rice for him. For me it was just plan and it was very tasty!!

Hey there.

That's awesome news! Congratulations.

It's great to hear stories like yours. I've only been banded for a week and a half and have a little bit of lingering discomfort at the band site still. Hearing about great days like yours really helps to keep up the spirits while enduring the healing process and nothing but liquids!

Thanks for sharing the positive news!

I think we all need more good news on here!!! Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I will admit I have good days and bad days gains and losses however as long as you stick to it the results will come.

As far as my port it hurt for a good two months after surgery and I could not sleep on my stomach without my pillow however it has since gone away. I think it is because you can easily feel my port under my skin? Not really sure.

      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! 😞
