I recently went to the doctor (after being sick for like 2 months even though I had finished the prescription he gave me earlier) and it feels like both my doctor and his staff are nicer to me since they found out about my surgery. I knew my doc had a bias against heavier people (one of those oh something is wrong? Its cus youre fat! guys) but now he seems kinda proud its weird. He even lectured me after my mom called me out for not getting in enough calories since she found out i went a few days eating less than 300 calories a day (im working on it). Im only down like 40 lbs but im starting to feel the difference in the way im treated. Weird

Side note being lectured on getting more calories in was surreal! Felt like I was some anorexic chick refusing to eat or something. Lol its not that im refusing to eat its just hard to get the calories but im trying.

K weird ranting post over :)

haha This is so funny because I went to see my PA for my annual physical and in the past I may have called her some names that weren't very nice!? She was so nice to me now that I quit smoking and had surgery! She seemed very impressed with the changes...it might be a little frustrating to see a 300 plus pound smoker for breathing problems on a regular basis? lol Anyway, I am giving her another chance now and I am also feeling way better about myself! :)

      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! 😞
