Ha ha...that great pumpkin! What a great victory. Can't say I was celebrating any medium tags yet, but I swam for 30 minutes this AM instead of reclining in the chaise lounge!

I think board shorts over the swim suit look adorable. I have 2 swim suits now and 2 pair of board shorts. It feels really good not to freak out over wearing a swim suit anymore. It's too bad it's too cold here to put one on. I would imagine I'll go somewhere warm this summer though.

I just wanted to say that I have yet to even have surgery but all of these stories are so incredibly inspiring! I can relate to so many of the "fat" experiences that now define my life. Ugh... can't wait for insurance to hurry and decide about my appeal.

If they don't approve I am strongly considering going to see Dr. Aceves but I am super scared about surgery in Mexico..... someone make me feel better!!!

I had no idea that they were related to my former lifestyle choices, but I used to get a few headaches a week that I would take tylenol for. Well today I am 5 weeks out and in that entire time I have had ONE. That is amazing to me.

I didn't go to Aceves, but I did go to Mexico (Dr Rodriguez). If I ever have to have my tonsils out I want to go back.... much better care than I would have gotten in the US.

Okay.. I'm only two weeks out but I've been DYING to post something.

I have worn nothing but sweat pants since surgery because I took a full two weeks.

I'm back at work now and the cloths I was busting out of before are now baggy.

It's no bikini and board shorts... but I'm on my way:lol0:

I was waiting for a great size story before I posted here, but something happened I couldn't hold in:

My two year old was watching me get undressed in the bathroom. Now normally she sings the "I like em big, I like em chunky" hippo song from Madagascar 2 when Im mooning her by mistake or really because she doesn't belong in the bathroom.

But last night she said "Mommy, why you skinny?" I almost cried. I asked what did she mean and she just said "you skinny". Granted I just came off of a 11 day stall and lost 2 lbs and I was a little down in the dumps; but when she said that I just lit up!

Awww "out of the mouth of babes" ! ! !

This one made me giggle, and kind get nostalgic. I remember all the cute things kid say, and they always have a way to bring us up when we really need it.

Congrats ! ! !

      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! 😞
