What is normal? How do you feel normal? I guess you could say that I am feeling a little normal...but, well, not really. I dont feel any different than before...I still feel like I am in my 350lbs body. I know I have changed, because NONE of my clothes fit, I am lighter on my feet, and people constantly tell me that I look great! but that feeling of normal is not there. I have learned that I ABSOLUTELY hate going out to eat, even though that what EVERYBODY wants to do around the holidays. Not that I hate the atmosphere and everyone looking at you because you had two bites and you are full, lol, but I HATE LEFTOVERS. <_< There is about three boxes of leftovers in my fridge from the weekend right now. Sometimes I forget that I have had surgery, and like a normal person I order whatever sounds good. Its usually a salad, so I am being health conscious, but not surgery conscious. weird. With Christmas coming up, I have so many parties and family outings to attend, but nothing fits...I REFUSE TO BUY NEW CLOTHES, but wanting to be a normal person, I go and buy a new cocktail dress that I probably will only wear once...maybe if i leave the tag on I can return it...just kidding. lol. I just realized that I have lost almost 100lbs since January, amazing right? :wub: I am very proud of myself...so, who cares if I dont feel normal...normal isnt attainable, its just one of those things that makes you like everybody else, and who wants to be like everybody else??

I am a little worried about clothes to wear while loosing weight. Someone suggested that I shop at the good will store. They said they have some nice clothes and then you won't feel so guilty about buying something and wearing it once. I plan on donating all of my clothes to goodwill that are too big as I go along.

Yes. I do shop a lot at thrift stores and I have found a lot of nice items in good shape. One time my sister and I went on 79 cents day. It was fun!

      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! 😞
