Today my stent has been finally removed...What a journey! I've been to hell and back. The doc said I am officially healed but I still have to be aware of what I m eating for a while. Here s a quick sum up:

Operated on april 3rd.

Rushed to ER on april 13th

Stented on april 16th, 1 month at hospital.

So, my leak took like 3 month to close up.

I have a little delay in my weight loss due to hospitalisation and feeding.

Starting weight 231.50 lbs. Today 174 lbs. 57 lbs lost. And it s been a week I m on the slow path.

I’m so glad to hear that you are on your way to healing. I’m sorry for any negativity you received from people too. This is a hard decision to make and you have to go into eyes wide open. It is a surgery and there are inherent risks. You are cutting out a large portion of a vital organ. It won’t always be butterflies and rainbows. It’s hard. It can be risky. If someone says anything bad to you because your story isn’t all sunshine, then they are likely being closed minded and not seeing the big picture they need to take into consideration. I searched and searched and saw plenty of statistics that were clear that there is a chance of complications.

I’m proud of you for telling your story. I wish you nothing but the best, continued healing and getting back to a peaceful place for you and your family.

      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
