Thank you so much. I'm down as of today 67 lbs and starting to love 'myself' again! Goal is for 49 more to go = 125 lbs for goal weight.

Thank you, @@tcon! Trying. It's still a daily battle of getting in enough this, less of that, but somehow it's so much easier.

I'm excited for you. This truly is an amazing time and process. Get ready for it, it's a whole new way to live but SO worth it!!! I'm back to where I was before I had two girls and they're both almost 3 & 5!! I've always been on the heavy side but no like I have been since my first pregnancy.

I wish you lots of luck and update me when your feeling up to it.

Thanks I'm super excited!!! I have a long road ahead of me but I know it will be worth it.

I have missed food like crazy this week but managed to stick with the pre-op diet. I'm trying to learn the difference between head hunger and hunger. I have been surrounded by food this week. ????????

I have not set a goal weight and my surgeon has not set one yet. I'll have plenty of time within the next few week to set one.

I'll keep you posted. ????

We are 'foodies'! It's apart of us. In any situation -- social, functions, emotional and just bc! It'll always be hard for us I truly believe bc somehow it gives a lvl of comfort. I am only three months out and occasionally will see my kids or husband have something and (in my head, be drooling). But remember I CHOSE this new life and I'll be damned if food is to consume me again. I also love that 'now' when I eat I know a few bites before I'm getting full and mentally bc I know I could revert back to old ways if I (stretch) the pouch I can control it and stop immediately.

What I once loved so so much I don't desire like I used to. Empanadas, tostones and rice were a weekly occurrence in my house. I had one bite when I got the go ahead and haven't had another since... Between my surgery and God I've gotten thru this quite easily.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
