Haven't won yet, 10 lbs to normal bmi then maintenance forever, but had a major victory this week.

The straw that broke the camels back for me to have surgery was being at an amusement park with the kids last year. Got on a ride and buckle wouldn't fit across all of us. Had to get the kids off, but I was kind if stuck in so couldn't tie up ride longer ad had to ride alone while the kids watched.

Went back to park this week and 94 lbs and almost 10 months later ---no problem!

Best thing I've ever done for myself by far!

Rides do tell you something. Went through a similar thing at Universal, sat, watched, and waited. Now youngest granddaughter and I make everyone else wait while we ride the adrenaline spikers!

Awesome. I had a similar experience at a Water park a few months back. I think one of the most hurtful things about being over weight is not being able too do things with your children. I have a 3 year old and now I can't wait to take her to Disney world.

This was my big thing too! I actually went online and looked up the weight limit of the rides at the local Water park. It was 250 and I was weighing in at 299 :(. I'm 45 lbs down an planning a trip to Disney in 2 years! I can't wait!

      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! 😞
