this weekend was one of those times where I was sitting around feeling sad, thinking im going to not lose weight... my husband was out of town helping his sister move, my kids were busy with friends.

but this morning I weighed. I was 247. I looked back in my journal and I was 276.6 on May 8, the day I picked up my pre op shakes from the Dr. and I was 284 when I started my monthly monitoring in Jan. now I feel better :-)

I had surgery on may 30. so im almost a month out. still have pain in the port area but everything else is great!

my husband tells me I am doing a great job and reminds me to think how much I will have lost by this time next year!

You are doing great!!! And we will all have days like that for sure... just remind yourself on those days that is just one day and we are talking a lifetime of living and being healthy... focus on the big picture! It helps me anyway!

Good luck and God bless!

      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! 😞
