You guys will do great too. I was a baby too... Cried right up until they put me

Out lol. Funny now but I can empathize with you guys cause I was there. Before you know it it will be over and six months from now you will look back and be grateful! Good luck to you both!

I'm doing very well!! Just finished my first 12 hours a day 7 day a week work shift. I was very tired the first couple days but I made it through and I'm down 10 pounds. :)

After a long absence I decided to come back and make a very quick post here... I celebrated my 2nd surgeversary a week or so ago. I started out at I think around 260 as my pre-op weight. Within shortly after a year I reached and exceeded my ideal weight of around 150-155... For the past year I have been successfully maintaining my weight... It fluctuates between 137 and 143, never below or above really. Have been very active and I still strictly adhere to a lifestyle of no to very low-carb eating habit with lots of Protein. I take my daily Vitamin supplements; do anywhere between 10-20 minutes of light to moderate cardio (nothing fancy). Try to take daily walks (I'm in a wheelchair, so I guess it'd be rolls?!). This was one of the best things I ever did for myself in my life. Oh and since we’re all adults here... let it suffice to say that the sex life has improved TREMENDOUSLY!!! OMG!

Just stay positive and try to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. Watch what you eat, when you eat, and how you eat it. Remember, just because you can have the cake and eat it too, you shouldn’t!

      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... :(
