Today is my first day back to work in the office. I worked from home last week. Surgery was on 9/10 and I took 2 weeks off. Plenty of time for me. On a bright note' date=' I had to do my wellness screening for work to get a discount on my insurance premiums and.....I went from a high BMI of 41 to a 35 today! Highest weight was 225 and today I'm 191 (34 pounds total, 19 since surgery). Yes, I'm counting every single pound gone since I started this journey a year ago!![/quote']

Woo Hoo! Way to go!!!

Hi my name is Gerry and i live in Rome Ga. My heaviest weight was 240 this summer...Im 5'2" tall. With finishing the diet and two weeks of shakes I weighed in day of surgery at 207. I came home weighing 215 due to be hydrated like a wet sponge and bow down to 203. Surgery was Sept 26 2012. I walk often cause pain is worse after eating and drinking. I eat 4 ounces every 2 hours. I hope this works.

Good job ladybug! My surgery wad the 10th, i came back to office after 2 weeks.which was probably to soon for me.they had to repair a ruptured hiatal hernia while they were in there. So i am still in a lot of pain in my belly button area. Bless those of you who are able to eat every 2 hours, i am doing good to easy twice a day....i want so badly to find my silver lining already, but have not got there yet. Day of surgery 236, today 213...= -23 lb.in 3 weeks, but i just wish i felt better to truly appreciate it....

FACEBOOK PAGE!!!!! September to Remember 2012 RNY yeah i finally did it sorry it took so long' date=' send a request as i did keep it closed for privacy reasons, you will see my husband is on there i will remove him as I had to add at least one person in order to get the group open. If for any reason anyone doesn't not want the group CLOSED i can open it. I just thought with photo stealing and unwanted advertising, plus then anyone on Facebook could post and open comments they wanted to with out joining the group.... yea.... i hope you all happy... but please dont stop coming to this forum as i still find a lot of good information. i just figured FB would be nice to get to know another and share pics and additional information in a easier format. hope you enjoy...[/quote']

So I was discharge from the hospital yesterday and honestly my pain is minimal. I have been passing a little gas, still no BM...and I can tolerate drinking a little cold with a little pain and warm liquids. I have climbed 2 flights of stairs but I'm still taking it easy....my taste buds haven't changed because I am constantly thinking of all the yummy food inventions I will create... :( bored with broths, Jello and Popsicles

So yesterday night I randomly started bleeding. My cycle is the 15th. It is very heavy and I have gone through 3 super tampons. Anyone experience this?

      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...

      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... :(
