Hi there!
I'm good! I posted some follow up after surgery on the DS board. My fault for not following up here.
Surgery was super fast - under 45 minutes. I don't even remember making it to anesthesia. I woke up in recovery and then two hours early in my room. The worst pain was from the gas and I was keen to be up and walking asap. I discharged at 10am the next morning after meeting all their requirements.
I just had my first post op appointment today and was moved to soft foods from all protein shakes and water. The surgeon says the incisions look good and are healing, however slowly. I've been puttering around at home the whole time being careful about bending and lifting but haven't had pain issues. The bit of cottage cheese today was amazing.
I did have to work literally all the time to meet the protein and water goals in the first week. Took a few days of constant sipping but now meeting everything consistently and I can sip up to 10 ounces an hour.
No buyers remorse here but it's certainly been a journey! Are you getting a DS?

Hello,
I'm 9 years out and my lowest was 123 and if I eat by the DS rules I can still stay there. If I eat whatever I want for months on end I can go up to 155.
I don't like the 150's cause I get those little love handles. I've been eating right with no cheating for three weeks, I'm at 146.3 this morning. The DS still works.
My goal is by the end of August is to be between 135 and 139. I don't want to go any lower than that. I'm 5'5 3/4"
You can do this, just make sure you have lots of delicious food in the house and no cheat food. I've been eating all day long, things like cucumbers soaked in oil and vinegar, salads, tuna, salmon (that I blacken, bacon chicken tons of vegetables that are low carb. Something I'm doing new is everyday I have one big juicy sweet and tart plumb. I love it better than ice-cream and it only has about 10 carbs.
You can do this!

Hey everyone,
Sharing something I learned today about a voluntary recall for some pre-made protein shakes. FYI. Includes some PP.

Hi All, I have enjoyed reading information from many folks, although I would like to search for topics of interest within the forums. I've use the "search this forum" and it returns a page showing failed link. I've tried various topics, also used my cell phone and laptop. Nothing seems to work. If you are aware of this or a way around it, please let me know.
I am 12 years out from BPD/DS and still appreciate every pound I have lost. I've gained back a little, but am working on that.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Cindy
