Just wanted to post my progress because I can't believe 29 lbs has made such a huge difference!

I had surgery June 4th and have gotten off 1:2 medications..

Pre surgery: 194

Day of surgery: 188

Today: 165

I only did 1 day of Milk of Mag I did not need a pre surgery diet.

I can't fit into my clothes from before surgery and it feels amazing! I have about 35 more pounds to lose! I still have my BP meds to get off of. Hopefully that will happen soon.

I would love to see more inspirational photos posted, it keeps me going!

I have to say, the first 2 weeks were HELL!!! But if you can get through those hard times its SO worth it!

I went back to work on Monday and I have so much more energy and I love it!!

Yes! Literally for 2 weeks I cried almost everyday telling myself I was stupid for doing this and hating myself for putting myself through hell! I was depressed and it sucked! But as soon as I hit puréed I was able to chew food and felt so much better! Now at 5 weeks Im eating everything an feel awesome! Just get through these next couple weeks and you will feel better! And as soon as you see the scale move and people start the compliments you will feel great!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
