Thanks Debbie........are you as excited and nervous as I am? I've been watching for the past couple of days YouTube videos and sort of freaking myself out. There are so many horror stories about pain' date=' excess skin and the different changes in moods including depression.......so I guess im still a little freaked out.[/quote']

Your welcome! We all know the risk with this surgery, but we also all know its worth the risk...I'm feeling excited, but also starting to get nervous. We all need to be here for each other and we will get through this Together! :-). We can do it!

Here's a fun and exciting topic my May Surgery buddies! What is one of the things you can't wait to do that will become easier when you are thinner?

As simple as this sounds....I can't wait to be in a picture and not be the biggest one in the pic. and actually not hide from the camera all the time.

I'm beyond nervous and having some trouble with my pre op diet ugh

It's okay. You can do it! You will do it for yourself. You will be strong and love yourself for getting through this pre op diet. And soon you will be on the losers bench. Don't worry, I will be feeling the same way in a week and i will need all of your comforting words as well. We will be here for each other. :-)

Thank you for adding me!! My biggest thing that I want to do after surgery is go to Disneyland and be able to walk around without my back and feet hurting. That and I look forward to living a new healthy life.

One of the things I am going to look forward to is have energy to play with my kids. Also I work in a business casual setting and I am looking forward to looking better in what I wear to work etc.

:P

I can't wait to finally be able to be comfortable while getting a pedicure and not have to worry about trying to hold my legs together without feeling like I just did a workout.

I'm the same way. I always feel so awkward when getting a pedicure.

I want to be able to be taken seriously again. Feel as if that sort of slipped away the bigger and bigger I grew. Younger girls at work in much sharper clothes. We may have the same bark, but the smaller ones are often perceived to have the sharper bite..........oh, and crossing my legs without a struggle :)

      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! 😞
