I am so excited for you! I didn't realize I was smiling ear to ear while watching your vlog until my daughter came around the corner, stopped and stared at me and asked me if I fell of my rocker! lol

Good luck quitting smoking, I know it's hard but you will succeed!!

Good for you, Lulu!

You're a delightful person! It hits me that you will do great, you just have the personality and thoughtfulness to get through it and succeed. Your son will get a gift soon: a more energetic mom. Get ready for going down and going up at the same time: weight going down, life going up! What a ride it is!!!

CONGRATULATIONS Lulu! We have the same surgery date but even more I went through the SAME anxiety you did. Should I call today? Yes. No. Yes. Ok I'll wait. And did I ever shout and dance when I called and got that approval. I'm also an hour drive from my surgery hospital but my next trip will be on the 7th

Now about those cigarettes.....I'm much older than you are and both my daughters are in their 20's and smoke. Since I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, I've been urging them to quit. But for you I say, throw away the rest of those cigarettes TODAY! This is about the quality of your recovery meaning the lack of complications. I'll be praying for you every day, sleeve sistah. Stay in touch.

      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.

      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! 😞
