That's so awesome! I'm going to the beach in August and my mini goal for then is to lose 75-100 pounds. I'm getting excited and nervous. What are you doing exercise wise? And how long were you off work or anything?

I do Zumba 2 to 3 times a week. That's about it for now. I'm a teacher and I pull kids from across the school. So I'm walking all day long! I did mine around Christmas break so. Didn't have to take time off. I went to the gym at 3 weeks. I haven't had any complications or pain at all. If it weren't for the weight loss if be worried if I even had it done. I feel bad for people that have complications but I think that's another good thing about getting it done young! Best decision I've ever made in my entire life.

Oh ok that's cool! I've been trying to think what im gonna do. I have a bowflex in my basement so I was thinking of doing 30 minutes of that before work, then walking some during my lunch hour and then doing something for another 30 minutes or so after work. Idk what yet though.

I'm hoping I have a smooth recovery like yours. My information was sent to the insurance company today so...more waiting! Ughh haha

if you're worried about loose skin do not do any cardio exercise do strictly weight training

      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
