I am doing very well in nail class. really got my sculptured nails down pretty good. all the cosmo girls are wanting me to do theirs lol So all is good. Glad all of you are doing so well. you are always in my prayers[/quote']

I'm so happy for you that you had the surgery to help your health and following your dreams by going to school. You are a great role model for people who think they can't do it. Congrats girl :-) You look great!!!

You look great. It's cool to change you're name but keep that bubbling personality the same.

I seem to be able to eat only 2 oz of meat and then I'm full. I am really curious as to, is this the norm? How much meat can you all eat before full. It doesn't leave room for anything else.

Gallbladder pain tonight. Ugh I hate it. Still have (sorry for this) diarrhea x 2 days. It's horrible. Any ideas for that other than Imodium AD. Everything I eat is running through me. I'm sorry all.

I had my 3 month appointment Friday. I'm down 60lbs, I feel good for the most part. I still have a lot of nausea and carry zofran with me at all times. I don't enjoy eating at all. Which I guess isn't a bad thing. I have difficulty getting my Protein in since I don't eat. I know I have to so usually drink Protein Drinks. Which my nutritionist said yesterday wasn't ideal but however I have to get it. I did my 1st 5k and had a blast. Already signed up for another!

Congrats on your weight loss! Sorry about the nausea and eating issues. Does the doctor have any answers about the nausea?

      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... :(
