Hello everyone' date=' I'm new to this site. I live in Richton Park. I just completed my 6 months with the nutritionist as BCBS requirements. I've met with my primary physician and notified him of my completion. Just waiting for my referral to the BCBS, then I hope and pray for the results of meeting with surgeon. I hope this process is not like the first 6 months.

I'm so glad I found this website, it feels good to speak with other people who are going through or uave gone through this journey. I have only told my mom and my sister. My sister had the lapband and is now going through the steps to get the sleeve. I cant wait I'm axcious to see the new me. I'm currently 243 and want to go fo around 150.

we can exchange notes about our upcoming schedules. Glad to see someone not to far from me is going through the journey as well. my son attends the community center in RP. It's a small world.

I would love that. I've told a few people which is shocking to me because I'm usually so private about my health, and so far everyone has been supportive. I'm 5'7 and 300lbs ... My goal would be between 150 - 175.

Just left my appointments. Laurie's was a group meeting and from now on the appointments will be individual. I will have to see her in one money and then three months. So today, we were put on soft foods ( anything you can cut with a fork) yay! Texture again, about 1 oz or so in fish, chicken, lunchmeat. Seafood,etc. and a couple of spoonfuls of a veggie. I can even have a cracker.

Dr. Hungness said that everything looks good and that I will need to see him in 3 months.

      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! 😞
