Hi Everyone,

Having weight loss surgery is worth doing. Show me a job without any pressure, and I will show you a job that’s not a good job. It takes a lot of courage to have weight loss surgery. And it requires a lot of effort and work on your part. It can feel like there are all kinds of pressure on you when you start the journey. But, remember that no pressure at all will probably result in no productivity or the weight loss that you are looking for. Maybe the pressure you have is simply helping you get the job of weight loss done better. None of us gained this fat overnight, yet we want it all gone overnight. One of the leading questions I am always asked is how long did it take you to lose 105 pounds? Stop comparing yourself to anyone else. We are all individuals and we lose fat at different rates. We are not all alike. Some eat different than others; some do a lot more exercise than others. You will find out what works best for you and that is what you should do. This really is all about YOU and NO one else.

PLEASE don’t allow other to make you feel that Weight Loss Surgery is the “easy” way out or guilt you into thinking you can do this yourself without having Weight Loss Surgery. This is your choice and they are NOT living inside your body nor do they know how you feel. Weight Loss Surgery was my answer after many, many failed attempts of trying so many different kinds of diets. I am NO longer on a diet. I have made lifestyle changes that I will live by forever. I never feel deprived. I do have a treat now and then, just not every day and when I have it, it is a small amount. I want you to know that you too can and will be very successful at Weight Loss Surgery. I am always here if you have any questions. I know how it feels to be where you are right now. GO for it, you will never be sorry!

Hugs,

      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! 😞
