Well it's been a while since I've been on here. I am now 9 weeks postoperative. The first 3 weeks were defiantly the biggest struggle I've ever had to endure in my entire but I've made it through. I'm finally back to work and starting to feel a lot better. I'm down 55lbs since surgery which was April 3rd and down 85lbs since December

Hi Sierra.

I'm sure we All have had second thoughts. I can just tell you my experience. Im 44 had rny surgery April 15. I'm in Manitoba. I don't regret it now for a min. I'm down 56 lbs. I started at size 22 and this weekend fit into a 14 comfortably I feel better and find this experience amazing. Yes the first 2 days after I felt like I was kicked by a mule in the stomach but that was short lived the key realy is to walk as much as you can drink / sip a lot and get as much Protein in as possible . This past weekend I spend hours on the floor with my 9 month old grandson and realized how much I loved playing with him there and wouldn't have been able to before. I still have a long way to go I'm 213 lbs now but I'm enjoying this healthier life a lot more . Yes it's kinda weird how I'm never hungry and have to eat because I need to too and how my main focus is to make sure what I eat has meaning as I can only get so much in so it better be for a benifital reason. Protein protein lol I believe that following dr s orders are the key. Don't rush stages !

Hi all! I'm in northern Ontario, near Sudbury. I've had my orientation meetings and have my appointments schedule with the psych, dietitian, and a few others on July 2nd.

I'm trying to prepare myself as much as I can and show them how ready I am for this! I quit drinking pop in April and have recently started journaling my meals. When I finally get my surgery date it will be in Toronto.

I'm a 37 year old married mother of a 12 year old girl. My current weight is 276. I can't wait to get this done!

Hello again :-) Where are all the Canadians? We really should try to get more active on here;-)

Well I am 6 weeks post op and doing well. I had no problems since I left the hospital. I actually get scared saying that, just waiting for the smug fairy to hit me with a late stage complication!

I Have my first follow up today at Toronto Western with the nurse and dietician.

Hope you all have a great day.

Congratulations! No complications is great. I'm glad you're feeling good.

I've got my one year follow up at TO Western on Tuesday. Haven't lost much since my 6-month follow up so it should be fun.

I think all Canadians are out enjoying that nice weather. After all, winter is coming.

      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.

        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...

      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
