I unfortunately had to go out of town for a funeral 2 weeks ago. I used to work in business management and wore a dress or suit and heels everyday. Not a single one fit and I had to buy a new dress for the service. My sister has gained quite a bit of weight and have me all her smaller stuff that was too small for me before and it's also too big:)

Graceann,

Sorry about the funeral but good news on clothes being too big :-)

The really funny thing to me about sweets is that since I have been detoxed... I don't crave them like I used to. Matter of fact, while in the airport the other day, I smelled Cinnabons at the store and it really made me a little nauseas to think of eating one! What a great feeling that was, because in the past I would love nothing more than a big, gooey cinnamon roll from there! (and I wouldn't want to share!)

I have a test today though. Its the first day of school for my teenager and I always make something special for the afternoon when he comes home. He wants Lemon Pound Cake, like the one they serve at Starbucks. I hope I can pass the test and not taste it!

Hey all you Juners' date=' i have to share this with you.

I work up in a brave mood after purchasing new specs for my ever changing new look. i went cloths shopping in a non- big and tall shop for the first time in 20 years and actually found cloths that fit....shocked the hell out of me.

bought 2 pair of Kaki pants and several polo shits to get me till christmas ....maybe :-)

my cheeks hurt since ive been smiling so much today. i know i still have a long way to go but ill take this victory and savor it for a little while.

im feeling like a bad ass today :-)

I don't crave sweets now either! It's a blessing because my sweet tooth was my biggest downfall!! ----now I just crave everything else :/

I don't have a lot of craving but the ones I do have are always carb based. Whether its really crusty sourdough with butter or birthday cake, carbs are the only thing I crave. However, I have NOT given in to my craving at all. I know if I do I'll be in some serious trouble.

I still struggle with wanting ice cream. I really miss having a meal that looks like a well balanced meal, with all of the food groups represented.

      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... :(
