My mother is famous (infamous!) for saying:

"Change comes from inspiration or desperation....so, which one are you?"

I hated that phrase as a kid. Now I use it frequently.

“Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the

intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well

preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,

chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body

thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming

“WOO HOO what a ride!”

I saw one on here or the OB board that I just love. I probably will mangle it a bit, but I think it's: "You don't drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there."

That is so helpful to me because it reminds me that I can fall off the wagon and climb back on. Now that I'm at goal with the rest of my life in front of me, maintenance is my biggest worry. The other night I dreamed that I thought I was 170 (I think my mind is still adjusting to the fact that my new normal is 135), but when I stepped on the scale ! was 20 lbs more, 190.

Now I can still remember pre-surgery when I was trying so hard to get under 200 and 190 was a dream I just couldn't achieve, but in this dream it was a nightmare!

I think the fears will settle with time. But in the meantime, instead of drowning, I'm gonna remember to stand up when I fall down!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
