HELLO EVERYONE!!!! It may be cold and cloudy outside today here, but it is such a beautiful day for myself. I just got back from the Doctors office. Great visit as always but this time was the best visit ever.

First of all, I was informed today that at 155 pounds, I have reached my doctors goal weight. We set this weight goal 2 yrs. and 3 months ago. 2 years ago, I was 267 pounds with a BMI of 47.3. Today I am 155 pounds with a BMI of 27.5.

Second of all, I have made an appointment for a consultation to discuss a Tummy Tuck. I am so excited and proud of myself.

Only bad thing about today, I am on a liquid diet until tomorrow morning and I am getting hungry! But I will manage my way through the day.

Has anyone had a tummy tuck done yet? I'm sure someone out there reading this has had it done. I'm nervous about having it done, but it is something I want done so I will have to suck it up and get past the nerves.

I dont have the funds either. Luckily I was told today that they would if I have like rashes and sores and stuff. I have a constant rash above my pubic area from the sagging skin, I get yeast infections in my bellybutton from my muffin top and between my folds, i occasionally get sores. So my doctor thinks i should not have a problem getting approved.

Congratulations!!!

My friend had one done. She said the first 3 days were horrible but after that things improved every day. She said she definitely does not regret having it done and would do it again if needed.

She said the results are awesome!!

      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!!

      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... :(
