So today I am officially 53 years old. I would have never thought last year that today I would be 63 pounds lighter. I thought I was doomed to being an overweight out of shape person for the rest of my life. I am so grateful for having done this surgery and look forward to losing the rest of my weight. For so many years I missed out on the joys of life beating myself up and not participating in the fun things. Not anymore!! I am going to finish the rest of my weight loss to reach goal and live life to the fullest! I am enjoying shopping in stores that I have wanted to shop in for so long. The inner thin person wanted to look different than what the plus size clothes would allow and now I can do that! Oh one more thing on the day my mother gave birth I also gave birth to my son. So it is his birthday as well......family celebration tonight! :)

I definitely did mean that. I bought myself some happy birthday to me clothes at JCrew, White House/Black Market, Ann Taylor, and a few more. I was literally out of clothes! I was a 22/24 and bought size 16's. I am hoping these will take me through the winter. I tried the resale stores and couldn't find anything so thankfully we have some terrific outlet stores by me. Thank Goodness!!! :)

Happy birthday! Yesterday was my 39th birthday and I stepped on to the scale at 204.5. That's 100 pounds down from when I decided last November that I needed help. Now on to my next goal - to lose 4.6 pounds (be less than 200!) by my kids' bdays in 2 weeks. We're flying to seem husband's family after Christmas and I'm looking forward to being sooo close to my goal weight!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
