Thank you so much everyone. Whenever I am having an "off" day I will look at these posts from you guys. It's been quite a roller coaster ride the past 3 years but I gotta tell you...it was all worth it and I'm a firm believer that "Things happen for a reason"...I never knew that such a happiness was possible and without my band and my weightloss I don't know how I would have gotten through it all but the life that I live now is the best one that I could possibly ask for.

I wish everyone the best of luck in their journey with their band. Remember...it's not easy...you will fall off the "band"-wagon more than once...just pick yourself up...dust yourself off and get back on. Life is what you make it and if you work with your band, it will work for you.

Thin feels better than food tastes!!! :bored:

Congratulations on your weight loss! You look fabulous. I am especially proud of your decision to give your ex the boot. My husband has cheated on me online and I was completely devastated...still am... I feel this is because of my weight and I just don't understand why he didn't just leave if he wasn't happy with me. We are working things out because of the kids but I am terrified he will do it again, or even worse actually meet and have a relationship with some woman. What I didn't understand was the fact that the two women I found he was corresponding with were much, much older than me and not that attractive whatsoever. They may have been 'thin' but still, I didn't get it.... I think if I am thin he will love me more.. but will he?

Thanks again everyone. I really appreciate all of your comments. I have been told that I have "fat head" by my plastic surgeon. He asks me how I like my new "sexy" body and I just laugh at him and tell him he's crazy. I still can't believe that I no longer wear a size 22/24...life is crazy but I love it.

Bert99...I sent you a pm.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
