Lol. I'm in the same boat. I haven't worn my ring for a few years. I know I need to just hit 200lbs for it to fit...

I have a weird craving for Raisin Bran cereal!

So weird. I've never really eaten it before, maybe a couple times but raisins sound really good right now and I am not about to puree them! :D

I am just the opposite, my wedding ring is too big now. I almost lost it the other day. It slipped right off. I have worn it every day for over 13 years and now it feels strange to not have it. I am not about to get it sized yet because I plan on losing a bunch more weight. Yay!

Me too! Mine flung across the room the other night, took me awhile to find it!

Hello All, I'm Melissa and my surgery date was 04-08-13, my highest weight was 266 and the day of surgery I was 253, today I am 219! It's been a struggle but I'm getting by!! It's so good to find a group of people who understand what I'm going through!

It is so weird...I too find that I'm craving things now that I would never eat before surgery! And they are actually healthy things...LOL

Came across this picture my hubby took of my belly right after my second surgery...(5 days after RNY)....OMG...i was so miserable. My belly was so tight and swollen! Yes, i was definitely second guessing my decision...but now, I have no regrets :)

If I say something to him about pain or whatever he will just so I told you so I told you noy to have surgery

OMG, I get that same line from my husband whenever I complain about not feeling good or if I can't eat something, it pisses me off... Most times he tries to be supportive but I hate when he uses that line....

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
