Thanks! Again, I appreciate it. I've narrowed Mr personal circle of friends and cut out the negative ones. That being said between working, and being a mama of active school engaged kids, and starting school in a few weeks it doesn't leave much time for support groups, so I appreciate Abby friend who have actually gone through the journey too!

I totally understand! We all lead busy lives and if you can have someone to at least drop a note to for a little help its always helpful! I don't have time for the support groups either but this place has been a big help!

Exactly. I haven't been active much lately because my personal life is crazy since my husband hates the fact I had the surgery, which has been hard, but it my was my body, my choice and I let his fears keep me from getting wls years ago. I'm struggling with that aspect but as far as my surgery, it's been good. I'm getting in my Water, and trying to get my Protein in as much as I can, it's crazy before when I was stressed or depressed, I'd eat, now I don't like to. So I just have to deal and keep moving forward.

Yes, he is. He thinks I'll leave him, and won't find him attractive anymore. He keeps saying that 87% of WLS patients leave. I keep trying to tell him they must have had underlying issues in their relationships, or the people let the WLS go to their head. Either way. That's not me.

      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... :(
