My surgeons office called today to ask if I would participate in their seminar this Thursday evening! What an honor! I have lost 86 pounds and I am only 3 pounds from a normal weight, 13 pounds from my personal goal and 14 pounds from losing 100 pounds! Woop!

When I was at my seminar, they had about 10 people there who told there story and there were only two sleevers there. One of those was my inspiration and he really helped me. I hope to be someone elses inspiration. Its surreal to think that I am going to be one of those inspirational people! I told my husband at my seminar that I wanted to do that when I reached goal and now its here, I get to do one and I am only 9.5 months out from my surgery! Woooop! She also told me that they are performing more sleeves now than any other procedure but have mostly GB patients who come to the seminars for them. I will be the only sleever there representing! I better do us all proud!

Now to pick an outfit to wear!

I am so excited for you. I remember thinking at my seminar that the people that spoke were soooooo far out from their surgeries. I wanted someone to speak that was still kinda new. You will do great. I just wish your sister could be here to see/hear you (and the others) speak.

      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! 😞
