juliah, I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! :-) I hope you get your teaching job! Please keep us posted on how that goes.

Dais, I agree with mp... I think you might be ready for some circuit training. That really does work it out! I'm personally still trying to get back to my pre-surgery form. I'm pulling in an hour a day but only about 3-4 days per week. I'd like to get it back up to 6 days per week.

Myself, I'm a little bummed the weekend is already over. My family has made their way back home to LA and the house is quiet yet again. I gained a half pound this weekend!!! :blink: Whoopss!!! It could just be the normal ups and downs of the scale. I don't usually check myself on the weekend, so I'm not sure. Either way, it won't hurt to make sure I'm back on track 100%!!! Okay, it's back to life. Actually as of today - but since I'm back at work tomorrow I can really make sure I'm having a perfect day.

I just don't know how much damage I can do only being able to eat a few bites of this or that. However, my body is not used to eating a whole lot of carbs, which regrettably I did eat for Thanksgiving. Not even a smidge as much as I would have before, but still... I did eat them. Aaannyyway, I just need to own it and GET RIGHT!!!!

I bought some Levi's in size 8. Yes, my goal pants. They were on sale for half off at Kohls so how could I resist. They are totally adorable... AND SO TINY!!! I'm in 18's fully now and most 16's. I even fit a pair of 14's but I think those are a fluke... lol - but still!! Being that I started in 28's, it's safe to say I'm halfway there. Whooot!!! :)

Globetrotter you should get your thyroids tested, if your thyroids aren't working as they should that could slow down your weight loss big time :(

I had my thyroid tested 2 years ago and they said I was on the high side of normal, that yes someday it might turn into Hashimotos. They cannot do thyroid testing out here, I believe, but I will check again.

As for how I'm doing today, that's easy: if the scale shows a loss, then it's a good day. If it doesn't, then it isn't. Today it didn't.

      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... :(
