I know you'll be coming down here to Florida soon, Disney is a blast. I was in 3 coasters today at Busch Gardens with my fearless granddaughter, Katie; Cheetah Hunt, The Scorpion, and Sheekra, all gut-wrenching screamers. Could not fit in the seats pre-sleeve, slid right in today.

Empowerment ahead! :)

16 days out from having my lap band removed and sleeve done. I am so pleased with the way it feels when i eat. The food goes all the way down into my stomach and doesnt get stuck in my throat leaving me feeling frustrated and unfullfilled. Best thing i ever did! I had the revision done because i started having enormous amounts of reflux after 3 years with the lap band. If I kept the band loose i didnt have the reflux but i started gaining my weight back. I had the revision done before i gained it all back. my wt was 198 and i'm down to 185 in 16 days. wish i would have had the sleeve done in the first place.

      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! 😞
