For the first time in years I'm not hosting thanksgiving at my house so I think that'll help me not eat as much. I'd love someone to go through this with. Had a nightmare about the surgery last night.. I went under and woke up amd said I want McDonald's... but I couldn't have it.. I know that's what's going to happen.. but it seemed like the end of the world in my dream.. creepiness...

Honestly Ive thought about for years but never truly looked into it thinking my insurance would never pay for it and a friend I went to high school had the surgery and I saw her progress online. I asked her what she was doing and told me gastic bypass and highly recommended her surgeon whom she also works for. And that was late may/ early june and was hapoy to find out its covered!

A close friend of mine had it done recently. I tried to talk her out od it xause my aunt had the open done 10 yrs back and got so sick. It was horrible. But when I went to see my friend the morning after she got it done she was up walking around.. perfectly fine... so I looked into it hardcore and was also relieved to find out it was covered. My pcp signed the medical necessity form yesterday... gyn sent her clearencet in.. I'm stoked

      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
