I stepped on the scale today and almost passed out. It said.... 135.4!!!!!!! Oh my gosh.... I can't believe it! That was my weight when I got 13 years ago at age 19. Only 10 more to go! It's amazing!

135 is my goal. I don't ever remember weighing less than 150. Got down to 144 last year (when I got married) but then in the last year I had complications with my band and gained 24 lbs. I recently lost 12 of those and my goal is still 135. I would Celebrate if I were you! I'm now at 156 (as of this morning) so I still have over 20 lbs to go but I'm hoping to lose those by May 6th (when we're going on an Alaskan cruise!). I'd like my size 8's to be too big! Right now, they barely button...

Congrats to you. Mind me asking how tall you are? I'm asking cuz I'm 5' 5" and my drs goal for me was 150. Mine is 135. But I was 9 lbs from that goal last year and had to wear a shawl with my sleeveless dress cuz of my backfat. So I'm wondering if I need to drop my goal to maybe 130?

      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... :(
