I took some pictures today for my 5-month surgiversary. When I looked at them, I saw every, single pound that I still need to lose (about 40). It was very discouraging. :(

Then I looked at the pictures I took 6 weeks pre-op and I saw all the pounds I've already lost. :D

I'm so glad I took these early pictures. I'm sure I'll be happy in a few months I took the ones today.

You look great!! I actually have a professional photographer taking pics of me once a month. I've asked her not to touch up any of the pics, I want to see every lump and bump, and I've also asked her not to show them to me. I will first look at the pics when I am half way to my goal, and I will look at them again when I reach my goal, and then I will probably make them into a book. I also think taking regular pictures will be a great motivator! Congrats to you on all your success and continued success in the future!!

      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! 😞
