YES. Not so much freaking out but really weepy holding my 1 year old extra long' date=' imagining me picking him up from school fit and ready to play ball or run with him. I scheduled the surgery after his 2 yo birthday this July at the end of the month. Checked my fasting blood sugar today and it was 125... Just ANOTHER CONFIRMATION I am doing the right thing for my health. For those who do not know 99 and below is normal. I had gestational diabetes complete with 2 types of insulin I had to take 4 times a day. It seems to be coming back to kick my but however I WON'T ALLOW IT![/quote']

I have a 15 month old Son, he is my motivation for having this surgery. I'm starting to get nervous, but I know it's for a longer, healthier life. I also want to have the energy to be able to keep up with him. Good luck everyone! July 1st is just around the corner :)

Ironically this person I am speaking of is one of my best friends! I have only told 4 folks. Two of which live with me and all are super supportive except her! She talks about how I could die. Mind you I told her I was only CONSIDERING it... not my final decision to do it. think its threat to her if I become thin as she remains plus sized. I don't want to lie and omit details but I am feeling like I may have to so I can remain positive. If she continues to obsess over it and continues to badger me I may have to be firm with her. This is something I want to avoid. :(

My friend is also negative which is surprising because she's had a Tummy Tuck, facelift, etc. if she says anything else I'm going to let her have it. Smh.

I'm so excited about this. My surgery is scheduled for July 24th, and after talking with my husband, I know he's totally on board to support me through this (yup, he's definitely a keeper! Good thing, since we've been together 14 years :P ). He's even planning some ways to help me stay on track and keep him involved, too.

I wish I could do this sooner, though I know I can't. I just need to hang in there!

      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! 😞
