Just wanted to give you an update. Surgery went great yesterday. Im actually getting around really well. The pain is tolleable, but i'm also staying on top of the meds. I'm eager to see what is under all this dressing!

So, this is an update on me.........I'm still feeling blue as I can't get back to running yet. I have tried and I get stabbing pains. It's sooooo frustrating. I miss my running and the happy endorphins it gives me. I can walk, but not at a very fast pace. My body hurts. I sometimes feel like I'm back at my weight of 328 pounds. I need some support here guys. Do you have any words of encouragement? Please help. :(

Things do get better i cannot emphasise enough how much emotional ups and downs this surgery creates. We had a lot done almost like an amputation, keep looking at those before pics, keep focusing on what you will be able to do and push those thoughts on what you cant do to the back of your mind, I am now 12 weeks post op i can now do all the things i want to do and things are still improving, my surgeon says i can do what i want to exercise wise and i am celebrating by getting a new bike :)

I have been using my exercise bike for 6 weeks now and cover around 25 miles a day i started slowly and built up to it but now i am back to my pre-op fitness and and feel fine. So hang in there and keep being patient, i bet you are doing great, it just doesnt feel like it :)

Wow the emotional roller coaster is an understatement!!!

The end of week one was complete hell on me emotionally! Im doing better now, but still have my moments. Its hard trying to heal, but yet feeling good and wanting to do things and cant.

My tummy is looking good except one side is quite a bit more swollen than the other. They pulled out a little Fluid last week and it is back to being puffy again. I plan on calling them in the morning.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
