I had a difficult time after surgery as many know...however, I recently turned the poverbial VSG corner in the last few weeks...I can eat some foods now... get my Protein & fluids down without the constant nausea & pains...thank goodness/valuim,bentyil & zantac!

So I'm back to work fulltime, taking care of grandson even went on a Anniversary date with my husband to our favorite Chinese restaurant (PF Changs) had egg drop Soup & 2 shrimp steamed dumplings WITHOUT throwing up immediately in the restroom!!!

All this and I am wearing 10/12 super Cute jeans!! (OMG reallY???) It seemed like I could finally breath deep and get things done that I had put off...during the rather Orrible months since VSG.

So firstly, I had my regular mammogram that I had put off (6 months) last week...they called me back next day on friday and said can u come back today for a rescan...I knew with my mom dying of breast cancer that it might not be good..long story short they said I have what looks like stage 1 breast cancer. I go back tomorrow for a lumpectomy and will find out within 24 hours if they are right.

I say all this to remind you ladies DO NOT put of something so damn important...get those boobs checked regularly and ON TIME...please!!

Strangely I am pretty calm...(not hubby! bless) I figure if it is...then I will fight it, in the mean time I am reading everything I can about what's in store and trying to stay positive.

Hugs to you all!

PLEASE #CHECK YOUR BOOBS!!!!

Sending a prayer to you tonight! Stay strong, my mil had breast cancer in both breasts same spot ....they called it mirroring. Well she has been cancer free for 5 years now!

I actually had a mammogram in may and they found 2 lumps but since I'm only 30 they would do a rescan in 6 months so in November I go back!

I know it's scary but god is with you every step!

God bless

So sorry you have to deal with this. My mom was diagnosed at age 60, so it freaks me out. I'll be 60 in Oct.

My mom died at age 82 and she was cancer free for years and years.

Sending prayers and healing thoughts your way!

      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... :(
