Hi Maria, How are you doing so far? I live in Guilford, but going to Fairfield Bariatrics. How are you doing since your surgery?

Im ready for something more solid! I go tomorrow and meet with nurse for next phase. I sat through a big family dinner today and it wasnt so bad but Im sick of Ensure and liquids!

I'm in Guilford. Where are you going for cardiac clearance? I go next week in Branford. This week I have ultrasound at Guilford Radiology and mental health clearance on Wed. What surgeon are you going to?

How are you feeling over all? I'm terrified of having the surgery, but I know I really have to lose weight. I know I can't make the necessary changes without help. I like to eat and drink and be social too much!

I'm going to Yale Cardiac Group in Branford next week. I've never had a stress test before so I'm praying everything goes alright. Where do you live? I have two other friends from Guilford also going through this process.

Thank you mafia ruin. I am freaking out. It is really not nice to make an over weight person run on a treadmill :)

I have a confession I ate a piece of cheese pizza tonight! It was so good. It was really like a half slice but it went down ok. I gave the crust to the dog because I knew I never be able to handle that. It gives me a little hope that someday I will be able to eat something good again. Was I bein bad?? I am feeling so guilty...

      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... :(
