91 pounds down 9 months post-op. The charts say I need to lose 30 to 40 more pounds. I would be happy in a single digit pant size!

I was walking my laps and the Nurse comes up to me and says your gown is open in the back! My robe had caught my gown and my butt was showing....I was so embarrassed! The Nurse said, it's nothing we haven't seen before and we both laughed!

When I go to Starbucks, I order a decaffeinated sugar free hazelnut soy latte and carry a scoop of unflavored Isopure Protein and mix it in. liquid and protein.

Pre-op I used Bariatric Advantage and Post-op I found one I like Isopure whey Protein isolate. It come in different flavors. I also use the Isopure unflavored protein to add to food/ drinks if I need extra protein.

After Surgery when you in the hospital, get up and start walking as soon as you are able and as often as you can. Bring some chapstick, slippers. Best of luck!

I chose to keep it private. My boss knew I was having my gallbladder removed and I had some other health issues but I didn't get into detail with the boss or co-workers. HR knew because of the FMLA forms but I asked for confidentiality regarding my surgery with boss and HR and of course HR can't breech that. I felt it wasn't their business. I only missed 7 days of work. Of course people might make their own assumptions and especially when they have complimented me on my weightloss!
