At almost 2wks out, there are some significant changes that I?ve noticed. 30# seems like such a small number in the grand scheme of things, but just like I thought ? it was probably the last 30-40# that did me in.

I have notcied that the knee pain I had been feeling in a major way (ie: felt like they would blow @ any moment, w/every step) has drastically diminished & is on it?s way being gone for good. The back pain I had ? gone. And the fact that I?ve lost weight in my feet is kinda weird, but I?ll take it. One of the biggest things ? for those that know about my foot issue preceeding the major foot surgery I had back in ?07, complete with screws-fa-lyfe *pfft* ? I haven?t worn a pair of high heels in about 5 years. And this week, I was able to find a pair of killer platform stillettos that fit comfortably to a ?T?. THAT is epic for me. A friend of mine even noticed that my ©ankles are gone! *woot*

I guess all that is to say?it?s amazing the difference a few pounds makes. Even looking in the mirror, it?s just like looking at a new person already. The only downfall?is I seem to be losing the little bit-o-bootay that I had. So I gotta get to lunging and whatever else to help me shape-up these cupcakes of mine. The dinosaur tail (a.k.a. The Rodeo Handle icon_wink.gif ) is starting to go too?and I couldn?t be happier!!

The boobs are holding steady for now, but that?s the least of my worries. Right now, I gotta refocus as I head home to reality. It?s been nice being pampered at my parents house, but I have a lil midget that is missing her MeMe something fiece (and a MeMe that is missing her midget something fierce, too).

I?m actually a little anxious about going home for some reason?but I?ll get over it. I?m sure the hubby could use a break. The good thing is that my awesome surgeon is granting me another month off of work (paid). He signed my disability paper work not releasing me back to work until 10/25. *giggety* I feel ok ? but I?ll follow the doctors orders on this one?

I?ll post again after my follow up on Tuesday. Can?t wait to see what The Official scale says!

      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.

      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! 😞
