1st off let me say that today I found out that I passed my RN state license exame!! Whoo Hoo for me right?!! Yea it's wonderful. Everybody wants to take me out to eat. Issue: I get sleeved on Wednesday. Like the day after tomorrow, Wednesday. I am feeling a certain way because I think, " What wil I do to resist temptation?" I'm hungry and food is always a wonderful gift. i think of all the times I was gifted food. More times tan I can count. I'm worried that after I get sleeved, I won't be able to resist the temptations of these food offerings. The summer is fast approaching and I usually don't eat alot when it's hot but what about the holidays. i know I'm just stressing but I figured why not vent to people who actually know how I feel and what I'm goung through.

Congrats on your license! I had a Superbowl party at my house 2 days before I was sleeved, man that was tough, but it was a small price to pay to get healthy. I find it is easier to resist temptation after being sleeved personally. First, I don't have the constant hunger I felt before surgery. Second, for me, there is a big difference between I shouldn't eat that and I can't eat that. I really don't want to get sick, so I take every precaution not to overeat and make myself sick. I have not had the test of a big family holiday yet, but I have had some get togethers with my friends and resisted all the temptations! I find that food is still enjoyable, but I make much wiser decisions about what I am eating since there is so little of it every bit needs to count.

Congrats on getting your license. As an RN for almost 30 years now, I know that you have just completed a most difficult journey ! Kudos to you. I hope that you find the field as gratifying as I have experienced.

Surgery on Wed...that's very exciting. I know you can resist the food temptation now (hopefully since you are so close) Let the future stay the future and take it one day at a time. food has always been associated with love for me too. I am hopeful that I will manage myself correctly when the time comes for me.

Once again, congratulations and good luck.

      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
