I was taking motorcycle lessons the weekend of Aug 11th...too hot in San Antonio..I got overheated..so now...I will be going back to finish..as soon as it gets under 100 for more than 2 days.lol

That's cool! I love riding. The course is great and you learn a lot. Advise though: when you ready to purchase your first bike, get something small like a 250cc (honda rebel, yamaha virago). I bought a harley right off the bat and still have yet to ride it comfortably. Now, that I've got a smaller bike, I'll work my way up to the bigger one :)

Actually my husband has a Suzuki Intruder and we got a great deal on a 1999 Harley Sportster...but..we also bought a Buell Blast.. We figure when I get comfortable on the Blast I can graduate to the Harley.

      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.

      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! 😞
