Well I have to tell y'all about I feel like a 16 year old who's been out on her first date I've been divorced about 6 years and was married 10 years . Well about a week ago I saw a friend of mine and a couple of days later he called me and said that his friend that was with him wanted to take me out and he told him I would go with out asking me I said are you crazy he said no I need to get out so I agreed but tried to get him and his girlfriend to double with us he said no she had to work ok we go to dinner ( I was just hoping I didn't get sick Red Lobster so fish is ok for my tummy) and then he asked if I wanted to go to the Laser Show and Fireworks at Stone Mountian well we had a very nice night so he's called me everyday since and sends me sweet little tex so we had our second date tonight and it was great this is such a strange feeling hadn't been on a date for about 17 years. He just wants to do everything for me open doors hold my hand to get up and in and out of the car didn't now guys still really did those things for you. Just makes you feel good and special 5 months ago I probably wouldn't have gone .

How did you get your ticker to show both BMI & weight?

As May got into full swing' date=' my exercise fizzled. With soccer, scouts, birthday boy, end of school year festivities we've been somewhere almost every night and weekend for 4 weeks. However! Scouts was over this past weekend (a few things this summer scattered here and there), soccer ended tonight until August, the birthday festivities have passed, and tomorrow is my sons last day of school. Tomorrow night is our first totally free night in weeks!!! So, I guess I'm going to back up and restart zombie 5K. I leave for vacation a week from Friday (Florida keys for a week!!!!!) and when I get bak I'll have to start getting serious again.

The awesome part here is that in the past, when life gets crazy and we're grabbing quick meals and not exercising (happens every October and May) I gain weight, this year I continued to slowly lose. I consider it success!!!!

HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 213.2[/quote']

Yah for you!! :)

      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.

      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! 😞
