Good to hear! And it's great that you posted that because it just reinforces to the newbies that it DOES get better. I think it's so important that everyone hears that message. It's amazing that so many of us felt the exact same way early out. You are going to be looking great in no time!

I just got a call from Dr. Zane's office for a follow up appt. next month. I'm still so surprised at how organized they are with seeing so many patients...somehow I didn't expect to hear from them again with all that I've heard about the volume of cases they've had. I feel like bringing him a gift of appreciation for changing people's lives! This experience has been a dream come true for me. I still have a feeling of expecting the weight to come back but it never does. It's odd getting used to "normal".

Keep us posted on your success! Congrats!

Wow! You are doing so awesome!

I love this site, because it helps so many people, so I'm happy to help in anyway I can, as others have helped me :thumbup:.

When I saw Dr. Zane at my post op on Thursday he looked so tired and when I was in the hospital (Friday-Monday) he came to see me everyday, I asked him "don't you ever take a day off?", he just laughed and said he had to check on his patients to make sure they were all alright :). So I would say yes to that gift :).

I am two days out and still at the "What have I done?" stage. Feeling very anxious.

Hang in there Susie! :thumbup: I remember feeling exactly like you :scared0:. Unfortunately for me, it took me almost 4 weeks to start feeling normal again. But, I did get there. I hope you'll be one of the 2 weekers. I'm now eating totally normal foods (except nuts - I can start those at 3 months out). I'm getting around great, buying clothes in the Misses section (YEAH!!!), and enjoying the changes in myself. I'm still figuring some things out, but it's all good. You'll be there in no time!

I'm so glad that you are past the worst of the healing! The 1st 2 weeks are the roughest. I remember feeling really great when I got to the full food stage and could exercise and lift weight again. That is when I really started feeling BETTER than I had before the surgery.

I am following your progress and hoping you have as good an experience as I am having! You deserve all the best things!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
