Just put on the dress that my grandmother ordered for me. It is a size 14. And to think in February I was in a size 28. I haven't seen a 14 since middle school.

I donated blood tonight for the first time since surgery. My resting heart rate has dropped by 30bpm and they could use the regular sized blood pressure cuff!

Possibly tmi? But exciting, nevertheless! ... When I sit on the toilet, I can see the toilet seat instead of belly and floor!! Lol! And the floors in my house don't creak when I walk on them anymore! ;))

Before surgery I was on a diabetic pill called Onglyza and two different insulins. One (Apedra) a fast acting insulin I took 20 units per meal and a long lasting insulin (Lantus) that I took 95 units each night at bed. I am now 9 days post op and I haven't had any of those medications since I left the hospital! PTL!! I go on Tuesday to meet with my pcp and I'm hoping to come off the Crestor and Lisinipril. I'm very very happy how things are going!

Went and bought some smaller clothes today. I was a 22 pants and 2-3x shirts pre-op. I still find myself gravitating towards styles for big girls. Well today I bought a shirt in a medium and size 12 jeans. And I looked good! Check out my shoulders! Who knew I even had any?

      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... :(
