I started my journey at 512lbs...I was banded 3 days ago at 467lbs. I didn't quite catch what length of time you did this all in, but would love to learn more about your story! Having over 300lbs to lose is daunting and its difficult sometimes to see the light at the end if the tunnel. I love, love, love reading everyone's success stories, but I especially enjoy those who've been successful from a weight closer to my own.

I completely understand that overwhelming feeling. I started this journey on January 6, 2012 at 421 pounds. Currently I weigh 287 pounds.

So, I've lost 134 pounds in about 7 1/2 months. I still have a long ways to go, but I recently passed the half way to goal mark so that was quite a biggie. Even with still having 120+ pounds to lose, I can't begin to tell you how much better I feel since losing the weight I have already. Even if I stopped losing today, this would've all been totally worth it.

You can totally do this!!!

That's so amazing! My first goal is to see the 300's again! I've been asking others what a good time frame would be to do this in, but its so hard to gauge when most people don't have as much to lose. But Im thinking my birthday is Nov. 16 and 399 would be an awesome gift to myself!! :) Im pretty sure that's a realistic goal? I want anything challenging but do-able! :)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
