I'm doing it by making Easter Brunch. I love to cook and make new foods so my family are the test subjects. I get through it by doing the cooking and presenting. I'll make a selection of healthy choices and throw in a couple not so healthy. I'm putting little cards on the buffet by each food with the calorie count per serving. I'm only 4 1/2 weeks out so this is my whay of participating in the meal. It makes me feel good and my family gets excited to see what new foods I can put together.

My whole family is supportive but I don't like them to feel deprived since they don't really need to loose. Last night I made blueberry lemon yogurt drop Cookies... only 35 calories and they loved them.

I still fix anything and everything! I have 3 teens and a husband at home and when I thought about it, if I quit cooking the stuff they liked I was more tempted to cheat. Since I still make their Desserts and foods they like I dont cheat or feel the need to.... smelling it is enough for me and I have even started to branch out and fix different recipes too!

      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... :(
