Yes we are all on the same boat.. But each day is getting better and we will be enjoying dinner with our family again very soon! Yesterday i forced myself to sit at the table with my family while i had chicken broth and they had chicken stir fry... It was hard but no one said it was going to be easy... The weight that is coming off so quickly is worth waiting My 4 yr old daughter was with me when i went to stock up on baby food and she asked me if it was for Logan(4month old) i explained as clearly as a 4yr old couuld understand of course,that it was for mama..we get at the cash and she starts saying to the cashier that the baby food is for her mama and the cashier(and others in line) laugh and say "oh u silly girl" she responds" mama tell them its true its for u right" lol i just laughed and was like "yes of course babe!" ;) annie is ur little one sleeping through the night??

My 5 year old did that to me too!

No, he's not yet, my poor husband is getting up with him. My husband is exhausted but I can't help.

Weird but my doc said that I could have Protein Shakes and smoothies since surgery. Weird how all docs are different. Today was my first day on mushies! Sounds kinda sad to say but the KFC instant mashed potatoes that I had were like heaven! Do any of you still have gas pain in your left shoulder? I still do.

I've had cotton mouth too lately and I've been drinking a ton! I feel back to normal for the most part. I still have a ton of pain in my left shoulder and I can feel large knots. I have been able to move to fish and very well cooked veggies. So far, so good. It's great that people are starting to comment on how I look like I've lost a lot of weight. How are all of you doing? Able to enjoy your family once again?

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
