Been feeling pretty good. Getting my liquids in. No I still have my gallbladder. I have some rumbling through my stomach after I drink anything. I feel ready for some thicker foods like yogurt but can't have that till next week. My pain has been minimal but I did do to much yesterday and had to take some pain meds. But much better than I thought it would be.

had my first post-op visit. And as of today I have lost 93 pounds. its so crazy to me that in less than 3 months i have lost this much already. and its not only the numbers on the scale. today i got my seat belt on without an extender. I just find there are so many small things that i can do now that people usually take for granted.

Wow Jenn you're doing incredible. 2 weeks post op I lost 15lbs and it took me a week to lose the 10 I gained in the hospital with all the fluids. Doc said the expectation is 5 to 15% so I was on the low side with 6%. I was thrilled as I basically had lost a pound a day but doc was so negative I ended up leaving the appointment so discouraged but not going to let it sabotage my success. You're an inspiration!

      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
