Hello everyone,

My name is Bunny and I am from England.

I was banded on 14th February 2007 by Dr. Dillemans in Brugge, Belgium.

My surgery was elective and I paid for it myself without my doctor knowing as I didnt want him to put me off the idea.

I was 252lbs and have lost 15lbs since surgery 3 weeks ago. :clap2:

I have been overweight for the last 10 years since breaking my leg, tried numerous diets and the last ditch attempt was with Slimmingworld, where I attended meetings for 2 years. I initally lost 30lbs, but it gradually krept up yo-yoing up and down a pound here and there, until I had regained 16lbs of my original loss.

My final straw came when I was making a irish coffee cheesecake.

I made it in line with my diet plan, and put it in the fridge to chill.

When I took the first bite of it, it was so foul and unappetising that i slid down onto the floor and cried for about an hour. It was then that I got on the internet and put the plans that had been at the back of my mind for months into operation.

I was banded 3 weeks later.

My doctor, after delivering the letter about my operation 10 days after the event, was very supportive, and I was so pleased. He told me that I had made a valuable investment in my future, and if I needed anything at all, just let him know.

So thats me. I have been married for 10 years and have an 8 year old son who we home school. We are all adjusting to my new regime as it seems to make an impact on the family as well.

Anyway,

I look forward to getting to know some of you better.

Bunny

      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.

      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! 😞
