Wow I can touch An area on my leg I couldn't reach before. I look down and my belly does not stick out as much as before I can see my feet!! This is so exciting for me.Do you remember moments like this? Anything funny?

yes but my collar bones were the best. I am sure they were sticking out for a while before I noticed them popping out. I knew they were in me but didn't remember what I looked like with them pronounced

This made me laugh hysterically. My fingers no longer resemble Breakfast sausage links - that was my first "not-so fat" thought.

I lost the cushion in my butt... now I have a bony butt. Hurts to sit on the floor & play Barbie's with my grand daughter, so I sit on a pillow! But at least I can get on the floor & back up now! Yay for NSV's!!!!

I'm starting to find my ribs and my hip bones. They are still covered in a thick layer of fat but at least they are detectable now!

Pelvic Bone for me and being able to prop my foot up on my dresser and put my socks on without gasping for air

Silly as it sounds, I stared at my shoulders for a good ten minutes the other day. They're better defined now and it when I wear a shirt it doesn't look like I shoved pillows up my sleeves.

I stood in the shower today washing my legs and i couldn't get over my thighs...or lack thereof. I can't remember the last time I though my thighs looked good!

i'm still preop, but i thought i'd share my goal: pick up a pencil off the floor w/o that move...you know the one, the sitting splits or the wobble to the left so i can bend far enough to pick it up...yeah...that's my goal. I don't have a goal weight, I just want to pick up a pencil.

Yes it's great being able to bend overand tie my shoes without coming up red in the face, feeling my bones I haven't felt in so many years and not being so self conscience when my husband throws his arm over my waist...bc now I have one. My ladies even look better not having to compete with my tummy ;) It's an awesome feeling.

      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.

        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... :(
