Nice! My Lane Bryant leaflet came yesterday. I am in a loose 12 or snug but not tight 10. So I am wearing an 11. I can't bring myself to go into the Jr. Dept for the odd number sizes. Lol I was looking forward to being a 40 year old with the teenaged body I missed out on. Actually my senior year in high school I did Nutri-System and was a 11 but that was a short victory. There is a Flea Market here and they have used designer clothes for $1. That has been a blessing because I go through sizes so quick.

That is awesome. So proud for you. I started in a tight size 26/28 now in a 16. I can't wait to get into those size 12 clothes. What an amazing ride this weight loss has been. Happy and proud of all of us who took the committed road in this WLS ride!!! It has not been easy but it's been so worth it all!!!

When did you have your surgery? I am about the size you were at surgery and am looking at having surgery in October!

My surgery was October of 2008. Everyone loses weight differently. The funny thing is I had lost 150 lbs in a year and a half and was in a size 8, then got pregnant. Which was a shock, because my tubes were supposed to be tied, and we thought we were done. Needless to saythe hardest part was having to gain weight again. My little one is 18 months now, so I am ready to lose again. Thanks for all the posts.

I am 9 months post opp and only lost 90 pounds. Is this normal? Should I contact my doctor?

Hello Ksommer,

Everyone looses weight differently. I lost most of my weight in the beginning, but I as I continued to loose weight -- the weight loose slowed down which I was happy about because I didnt want all that sagging skin. I just kept going forward, because I had a goal. Just make sure you do some form of exercising, even if it is just walking. Don't eat a lot of starchy foods and sugars and you will do fine.

I go to the gym a lot. The only extra skin I really have are my arms. I'm losing inches still but my weight is staying the same.

Thank you for the advise!

      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.

        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... :(
