You all are amazing' date=' I'm saving this thread to remember when I'm stalling or feeling down! I'm at a two week stall after losing twenty pounds since January 1st. That fear that I will just stay here forever is a big one, so it's very inspiring to see all of you so successful months after surgery![/quote']

I am stalled also and its discouraging but we will get through it!

I know!! I am so excited to go shopping Thursday for some new jeans and shirts!! The smallest I remember being is 13/14 in 12th grade. I am in 16's now and depending in the shirt medium-2x. I love big shirts so going to be hard to break that habit! But my 16's are baggy and I have to keep pulling them up

That was one of the hardest things for me to break too... even now. covering everything up with a big shirt. What helped me was having one of my kids take a pic of me in an outfit so I can visualize how it looks. Its weird but looks different in a pic versus a mirror. Smaller well fitting shirts just make you look smaller.

I started out 2X and 18 and I'm three months out in XL and 14. The top is always going to be a bit larger than the bottom thanks to my DD's which aren't shrinking all that much.

      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... :(
