It's Me Again- Feeling 90% better



Recommended Posts

I spent the day trying everything I could think of to get rid of this gas. I accomplished the mission! YAY!!! It took, Miralax, prune juice, and a freakin fleet's enema, but hey- tasked accomplished. I'm so happy now. I also took pictures of how I looked the day before surgery and I took a comparison pic just now (exactly a week after) and the difference is astounding! Like, my stomach area alone looks alot smaller.

I started out at 312 pounds (pre-op diet) and today when I weighed myself, I was at 279lbs. I'm amazed. I intend on stepping away from the scale for a while because I know that soon enough there will be the "dreadful stall" and I'm ok with that. I think I'm going to go back to work on Tuesday, so tomorrow I'm going to spend the day resting. I hope that you all have a great week ahead of you and some interesting stories along the way.

Take Care,

Candace

Yes the gas has been bad (sorry for scaring you) lol. Also try gas-x, this too has been wonderful. I'm still struggling with gas issues and Constipation but they are no longer ruling my life.

      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.
