Oh my gosh, what a transformation! Love the picture showing off your hourglass figure....you look so much younger.....you gotta love that! (well, at my age I'd love it LOL)

We all lose at different rates, but would you share what your meals for a typical day would consist of and what you are doing for exercise? Thanks! This is so exciting to see as a pre-op, thank you fors haring!

Thank you. My meal plan is pretty simple. I have a shake or a Protein bar for Breakfast, I have a few bites of meat and veggies for lunch, Snacks consist of almonds, cheese, or fruit. dinner is whatever my family is eating. I avoid all bread (except a rare slice of pizza), I avoid all rice (except a rare treat of sushi) and I avoid potatoes. If I'm craving a candy bar I will take 2 bites of a snickers and give the rest away so I'm not tempted. I live in the South, in Mississippi and just north of New Orleans, good soul food and seafood is everywhere and I love a good tasting meal so I don't deny myself these luxuries. I just pay attention to my sleeve and stop eating at the first feeling of fullness. I work out 2-3 times a week. I started out doing Curves and then switched to an intense core workout that consist of lunges, squats, push-ups, and sit-ups. I use the Skinny wraps to tighten my skin (yes they are working for me). That's it. I live my life as usual. I eat what I want with the exception of carbs and I never slow down. Good luck to all of you on your journey.

      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... :(
