Congrats beachlover! Glad to hear everything went well.

I agree day time tv sucks. I don't even care for evening tv unless it's a Dbacks game or HBO.

I went and saw "what to expect when you are expecting" at the theater today. It was good. The trailer made it seem like just a comedy but there was more to it. I don't have kids and still enjoyed it. I'm thinking of seeing battleship tomorrow. Anyone see it yet?

OH YEAH!! Still a May sleever!!! I was suppose to have my surgery May 16th but a spot on my lung delayed that, prompted a biopsy and totally threw me into a tissy! Everything turned out ok and my new sleeve date is May 22!! Just 3 days away - i'm SO excited!! :D I hate that everthing happened the way it did (VERY stressful!!) but am kinda glad at the same time - i knew i wanted this but having it delayed and not knowing how long it would be before they could get me back in really drove home how BADLY i want this!! No nerves for me yet, just pure joy that it's happening so soon!!! :)

I was sleeved May 7th. Yes, they do have you up and walking the same day of surgery, and you know what? It wasn't that hard. I had my 10 day post-op visit with my surgeon this week and told him that I already felt better physically than I did the last time I was in his office, which was 4 days before the surgery. My knees didn't hurt, and walking was so much easier for me, even in just so short a time.

Good luck, everyone! :)

After 2 tries, on the third one I finally got my insurance approval. Getting sleeved Tuesday, the 22nd for sure!! Now, I don't gnaw my own arm off during the pre-op liquids only diet, I'll be fine! So totally excited. Best of luck to all the people getting sleeved on Monday!

I've been watching Netflix streaming videos & Amazon Prime instant videos & reading some. I like movies since I can walk around the living room while they're on, but it's hard to hold my book & walk!! I'm doing better every day though!

      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... :(
