good morning all. I signed up a few days and have been scoping it all out. I decided to post because today is my surgery day. I finished my classes in Nov 2011 and im finally taking the plunge. I have 1,000 different emotions right now but there is turning back as of 7am.. reading everyone's postes and stories is very helpful and comforting!

I'm 31 and can't remember EVER being at a healthy weight. I have a 7 yr old that I need to be here for and set a way better example. my family is very supportive and for that I'm grateful! the only health issue I have is hypothyroidism and plantar fasciitis.. I'm excited for what the future has in store for me! please say a prayer for me and I'll gladly do the same.

Everything went well! Thank you for all the support. I'm still here obviously! And today is better then yesterday. I was up and walking last night which really really helped. I'm still groggy from the pain meds and a little nauseous but I'm sipping my fluids. Ive met a few others here doing the same thing and that has helped me also. The nurses at St bernadines have been great! Thanks again everyone. Best of luck!

      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! 😞
