I had my surgery on May 9. Not sure what my weight was that day (silly, I know) but I've lost 7.5 since my discharge day of Saturday! Things went very well but the surgeon tied the top of my pouch a little tight so fixed it while still in. Because I was under an hour longer than usual, he insisted on my staying an extra day to see how I tolerated fluids. The worst part was having my drain removed. It wasn't planned but he was being extra cautious bc of the minor complication (which I appreciate). The drain removal SUUUUUUCKED. Oh, I almost passed out. I'm a little tired but very mobile. Am able to get in about 30 g of Protein per day but that's pushing it for me. Pushing the liquids, though. How is everyone else?!??!

      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
