Relieved to Not Be Alone



Recommended Posts

It is soooo nice to see that I'm not alone on this 200+ lbs to lose journey! My surgery date is April 8th, and I'm counting down the days. It can't come soon enough. I say that but I keep alternating between ecstatic and terrified. Ahh, the confusion!

I feel the same way! Have you ever been to a forum that 1)moves as fast as this one, 2) has such supportive people on it and 3) where every single member of the board knows what it's like to be obese?

I haven't, and I love it here. I'm so glad the negative nellies have been banned.

Hi Khloe! I'm sure you're excited - your big day is less than 5 weeks away! I, too was very glad to see other members who had more than 200 lbs to lose because there were many times I have felt like the fattest person in the world! It is good to know that there are many of us out there with similar struggles. You are a beautiful young woman- it will be nice when everyone can see how lovely you are. Good luck on your sleeve journey!

Welcome! And yes... It does my heart good to know others are on as long a walk as I am. It is easy to feel isolated.

      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! 😞
