Met with Dr. John Vonkersburg... he was great... his office staff were very friendly and I was so pleased. He was friendly and informative. I got a fill and so far I am doing really well. I have been logging all my food on the livestrong websit and following a great diet. I feel good about myself again for getting back on track. Thank you so much for asking.

Just checking in and seeing how everyone is doing. Waiting to hear from the dr regarding blood tests and should be going back in about a month to follow up and see how I am doing. I refuse to get on a scale until then. Again hoping that all is going well. I do feel the difference since the 1/2 cc fill so I guess that is a good thing.

I'm doing good. Just had my hiatal hernia and band repositioning surgery yesterday. Just chilling out and healing. Avoiding the scale for a few days until all the IV fluids leave my body. Haha.

Hope you feeling better real soon. I totally understand avoiding the scale until all the fluids leave. I remember after the surgery I ended up weighing more then when I first went in and I was really really upset about that. I don't recall the dr at that time telling me that would happen..

Feeling even better today. Until I had a sneezing fit. OUCH!! Lol.

No hunger, no desire to eat. Forcing liquids down. I love this no hunger. Wish it would last forever. I have pictures from my surgery on my blog. My surgeon made copies for me. Pretty cool.

I am doing really well. Today I feel almost back to normal (just slight pain when I take a deep breath now). Finally dropping more weight again too... only 3 pounds from twoderville. Woot!

      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! 😞
