I would be willing to meet also, however schaumburg is way to far out for me. I'm in the city 2 miles from downtown, so if anyone is Interested in meeting anywhere in the city I'm up for that.

I think Sunday in Schaumburg will work, though it depends on how I feel, as I'm still pretty sore.

lol, I started this thread and M.I.A for a bit, came back to find a meet up being planned in Schaumburg. I apologize, but I can't make it :( I put this thread months ago but no one responded so I gave up on the idea. I still want to wet up a meet up as well before summer is over! (even if it will be a 2nd meet up for some of you)

I have been so busy working with movie pre production that will prob come out next year hopefully at a big screen near you!

Also running my mom's jewelry business and my Wrap business skin tightening and health, skin care products.. if anyone is interested let me know :)

Even if we can't have a huge reunion maybe a couple of us can get together for some coffee or ice tea?

Sherry, I don't want to push you out and about too fast, I didn't want to go be social the first week after surgery! So far it sounds like me and Skye can get together, with a Sherry-maybe. Any thoughts on where? I'm so used to planning restaurants for get-togethers, and that's a habit I should really get out of!! Maybe we can take this offline to regular email - if you're potentially interested in meeting in Schaumburg this Sunday, email me at katcrowder@gmail.com, and I'll put us all in an email discussion thread.

I was sleeved on 7/24 in Hobart. The first few days were rough. Once I got the JP out on Monday, I felt great! I am now on day 3 of full liquids, down 14lbs and so glad it's finally done!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
