I just wanted to start a post to acknowledge how great my best friends have been throughout this process... Although one of them is a size 0 and two others are size 4 (they were all blessed with great genes and great bodies), they've all been so incredibly supportive to me. Even as their (self-proclaimed) "fat-friend," they've never once judged me or made me feel bad about my weight or body. From day one, they've helped me weigh my options regarding surgery, and have been cheering me on every day since... Although they live all over the country, their calls texts emails of support, and to check in on me to see how I am feeling, have meant so much. In the spirit of thanksgiving, I am so incredibly grateful for them :)

P.S. I can't wait until we can shop in the same stores again!

Love that you posted this! I too have been so lucky with the support from my friends and family from day one. It always breaks my heart when I read posts on here from people that don't have the support we do. Definitely has me counting my blessings :)

      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! 😞
