I'm still loosing, but after an 80lb+ loss, what I notice most is how people treat you differently. People are nicer to me.

I have been thin before (and didn't know it & didn't realize it or see it in any way)...I am 5'10" and weighed between 150-160 for many years...but miserable thinking I had to weigh 115-125 lbs because of magazine models, tv, movies, society in general... so what I learned from being fat (300 + for many years) is this...I am ME, regardless...and I am awesome & always have been and didn't know it & now I do know it...so I have learned my weight is really meaningless...it is my reaction/thoughts/feelings about the weight that matters...wished it hadn't take wls for me to figure this out, but it did...

      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! 😞
