The seat belt doesn't strangle me and cut off blood circulation when I wear it anymore!

I can comfortably fit on the back of my husbands motorcycle!

Omg!! I cannot wait for that to happen. I always wonder if I get in a car accident if I am going to die due to the cord around my throat. Lol

Many people have commented on how pretty my hair is and how good it looks...which is crazy since it hasn't been colored or trimmed in 4 months and has been falling out for 3 months. Also met some new friends out the other night and as time went by we started talking about our old fat pictures, I told them about my VSG and showed them some preop pictures and their jaws hit the floor and one of them said the words I'll never forget..."I thought you were always skinny". It's so different being called "skinny" by people who have always known you to be obese, but for someone who has never seen you before now to refer to you as skinny is a whole different thing :)

Love all the NSV everyone! A few of mine: not spilling over onto the person next to me on the airplane, lost a chin (still have a gobbler neck though), can wear high heels all day, down to a 14w was a 20 prior to surgery.

Went on my first airplane post op on Saturday and was able to let my wife have the window seat and I took the middle one. I still encroached on her space a little but she was just happy she didn't have to say in the middle. :)

I've been driving the same car since 2005 and I have never been able to push the gas button without opening the door, due to my large abdomen getting in the way. I was finally able to push the gas button without opening the car door last week. It's funny because I didn't even realize that I had done it until I realized that my door was still locked.

Yesterday I sat in a hammock chair that I was given YEARS and YEARS ago, but was never under the weight limit.

I put a bunch of my old clothes in our garage sale, and this lady asked who all these big size clothes belonged to because they couldn't belong to me because I was so small :D :D :D

Isn't it great a feeling!

      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! 😞
