I guess I'll ease up a little with the disappointment. It seems we are all around the same loss. Maybe it's is where we should be or our week was cursed lol.

Surgery 11/27, Down 43 lbs since surgery, -20.75 overall inches. I have been diving into smaller shirts and bras, but feel like my lower half isn't shrinking as fast as I want. Oh well...keep your chin up people...we are all making progress even if it seems slow. I am just hoping to feel good enough to actually wear a bathing suit by this summer. So, I have a couple of months before I freak out...I hope. Right now I love oatmeal with brown sugar splenda.

Thanks, Worm. You gals are certainly making me blush. I guess it was just that week. I agree... at least we're still losing. :-)

OH The clothes! Mine are literally crawling up the wall in my spare bedroom. I've only lost 50 but I was wearing some pants from when I was heavier so those went the day of surgery. I am so happy to be down a few sizes but at the same time I am sick about the money. Been trying to get stuff on super clearance. I can't do thrift. Bedbug scare me. I travel a lot for work and I see how prevalent they are. eeeewwww

The positive part of having crazy weight fluctuations and being a bit of a pack rat over the past 6 years is that I have about 5 bins of quality basics to use as my weight goes down, just went through them for the second time since surgery and found about 5 pairs of basic pants for work and about 15 tops that fit again ... since I've purged most of what fit before surgery that means I've quadrupled my clothing supply! I think my husband will finally forgive me for taking up so much attic space! At least I'm saving a little money...

Good for you! I had some stuff from 2011. I had lost some and then gained it back (hence the RNY). but I am now almost out of those pants. In about 20 pounds, I am seriously in trouble.

My clothes are to big on me. Hell I'm 4 sizes smaller than the jeans I wear. However my work pants are elastic so I'm doing ok there. Trying to hold off a month before I buy clothes. Want to be down one more size?

      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... :(
