Hi Meredith, I am sure we will catch up at some stage. One of my brothers lives in Wagga Wagga NSW, so I could even hitch a ride with him over to Canberra, which is not too far from there, to meet you when I am next visiting him. Or when you are next in Melbourne we could arrange something, If I know in advance I will make sure not to have anything else on.

Goanna, great stuff with the weight loss mate.

I am finding that I can only have the tiniest bit of any kind of Fluid now. If I have more than that my stomach hurts. Anybody else find this? I have to have something to drink, and then wait more than an hour until I can eat brekky etc. Wow, this sure takes getting used to.

Meredith - find out which suburb you are staying in and it might be easier to catch up for a coffee at a local cafe rather than the city.

Susannah - I'm so sry to hear about ur port. Hopefully it won't fully flip and u won't have to much more complication with it. With regards to ur ticker - I think u should be able to click on it in anyone of ur messages and it will redirect u to website. Then u make the changes. I think u have to put a password in thou.

Bronnie - Good luck with ur operation, hope all goes well for u.

As for me, I spoke to my OBGYN who recommended a new Dr to me who happens to be at the same hospital. So my first appointment will be on Tuesday and I'll find out what can/cannot be done then. I was also told that if the complications persist with the lapband, then i'll probably have to be induced early. I'm getting really scared now:cry

      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... :(
