My name is kevin.

I've had my surgery nov 28th of last yr. I've currently lost 190 lbs. I had a very weird experience yesterday, I went on my first date in 14 yrs. this was my problem it's been so long that I still felt like that big guy I had been all that time. It didn't help that we didn't connect! I just felt strange. Has anyone had these feelings or experience? I had one girl who wouldnt date me if I was going to lose weight faster than her? WTF!!! This girl was a twig! Any way!

Thanks for having me!

Hey Kevin, first off welcome to the board!

I'm not that long post op but already have had similar experiences in all aspects of my life. For example simply going shopping I feel like I need to go to the plus sizes (which is not the case anymore) but I have a hard time seeing myself as a "normal size" person. I am still adjusting to my new body size. I actually find it quite awkward when people comment on my weight loss at times. It's like wow is that the only thing anyone notices lol. I do love the newly found confidence that I have these days... Definitely an added bonus. I think it just takes time to adjust mentally not being that overweight person anymore.

Lol at the twig girl that didn't want you to lose faster..some people are just funny!

      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!!

      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! 😞
