I really do want to personally thank you.. you are a valued member here and it literally woke me up what you posted. You stopped the merry go round and did what it took to get there. I figured I would either do that or get worse trying. I am not fighting my body anymore.. I eat constantly and I feel much much better. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart, you may of saved my life by helping dodge the bullet of a reversal. Janie

About 9 months out I was sitting at a redlight in my car,I looked in the review mirror and could not beleive how bad I looked,how bad my body (pouch included) felt.I said NO MORE!
I didn't care what ALL the books say,What my PCP says...My surgeon always said "Listen to your body"...and from that day forward I have listened to my body.I don't force solids anymore.I do what I have to do and I AM OK!!!!(so are my labs) 
So I am happy that you are doing much better.When we can not eat and feel exhausted EVERYTHING looks worse.
Thank you for making me feel valued here on the forum..I don't post much anymore because I felt I had nothing to contribute.So thank you!
When I say valued...you long term post opers know what I mean...These days all I can tell someone new is "Chapstick"..You forget so much as time moves along. 
So happy for you , |
