I'm Robin, I'm 24 from NYC (The Bronx) Single, no kids. I want to find Mr. right one day but don't think I'm quite there yet. I went to school for fashion marketing, interning for a shoe company now doing marketing and marketing research for them. Hopefully it will help me land a better job down the line. I'm in the middle of making some life transitions so not exactly sure where my professional life is going lol

I like to watch movies, love horror movies! Love to cook (I'm a big foodee. Even post sleeve that hasn't chanced) I love fashion and clothes. Halloween is the best holiday. I'm already psyched to find an awesome costume this year now that I'm smaller! I had surgery on November 14th 2012 and I'm down 77lbs all together so far (20 pre op) I feel great! :)

My name is Tom. I live in Magnolia' date=' Texas and I grew up in Conroe, Texas my whole life. I'm 29 yrs old... turning 30 March 1st. I am married and we have a 5 yr old boy. He's in my signature picture.

I love to play internet games like League of Legends. I enjoy TV shows like Elementary, Lost Girl, Stargate series (off air now), I tend to hate reality shows but Wipeout is just to funny to not watch. I have recently picked up downloading music to my phone because it really helps me to get pumped for workouts.

Does anyone else think a VST convention would be really cool? I have a coworker who has become a close friend of mine. Him and his wife both had the same surgery I did. It's been invaluable comparing our experiences and it's great to hang out with other people whose life doesn't revolve around dinner out.[/quote']

It my pleasure to me you and my birthday is march 20 nice. It is nice to hang out with people whose life don't just revolve around dinner out. This is time to changed all the way or stay home and don't do nothing about it.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
