Great pics. You look fantastic! Can I ask, you said -40 carbs a day? I don't understand what that means.

I log, track, weigh, and measure all the food that I eat on my fitness pal. I eat less than 40 carbs a day. I actually keep them closer to 20 grams a day. Hope this helps.

Absolutely amazing! You look like a different person. I love your shoes, too!

Thank you! I have a ton of super cute shoes. That is one thing as a big girl that I liked to shop for. So the one down side (not) of losing big... My shoe size has gone down by at least a 1/2 size and maybe even a full size. Someone at goodwill will hit the motherload when I donate them! Im waiting to replace them until I get the last 20 lbs off.

Wow! You look like a different person. Awesome! Would you mind telling what your beginning and present weights are?

Ok...so it has to be our little secret... I started at 340 and have lost 172 lbs. I am 5'7 tall. There is a great website ...something like body image gallery (you will have to google it) that will show you what real life people at your hight and weight will look like at certain weights. This was pretty helpful to me. When I started this process I picked a size 12 as my goal. Well I got there and was suprised to find out that as an apple shaped person I was still pretty fat. The size 12 I had in my head was hour glass shapped and must have been Amazon height. I am now a 10 and still look fairly hefty. My 20ish lbs I want to go will put me into my normal bmi range with a little room for bounce back.

Oh ok that makes sense. Less than 40 not negative 40. Thought u were counting impact carbs or something I don't really understand. Thanks for the quick response.

      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... :(
