I had to share with you all because I think you all would understand. Today I left that awful word obese behind. This morning my BMI is 29.8 and not 30 or greater. I am free from that word and I am never looking back. Thanks for listening.

I celebrated with 3 new shirts and a new pair of pants. I realized this week I had no long sleeve shirts that fit. One thing I've learned is to reward myself along the way, every 10 lbs and every big milestone like onederland and now this. I don't Celebrate with food but something to boost my esteem. Today I also checked out some stores I hadn't felt comfortable in only to realize they carried some bigger sizes then I wear now so I could have shopped there sooner.

Congratulations! Next time you see your doctor, I'd ask him/her to write "no longer obese" on yur chart just to make up for all the times "obese" was written on it!

I have always wanted a Pandora Bracelet (a real one) and could not justify the cost. I have decided to reward myself with the bracelet upon surgery and a new charm or bead for every 20 lbs. I figure all the $$$ we're saving on take out and junk food will more than cover my reward.

      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! 😞
