Hi everyone i decided to share some pics of myself b4 and updated ones, yesterday i went shopping with my oldest child and saw a few friends that i hadn't seen in a while and i must say their reactions when they saw me was PRICELESS and felt AMAZING =) i know i still have a looooong way 2 go but at almost 3 months out the feeling is just incredible my stamina, energy is just over the roof i am soo happy with the new me i have to admit i still can't get used to NOT shopping in the plus size section all of my pre-surgery clothes were sizes 1x 2x and even 3x, 18, 20, and 22, and now everytime i walk in a store i automatically walk towards plus sizes and my daughter grabs me and says mom you are no longer in those sizes lol gotta love her now i am size medium and by the looks of it i need to start buying small from now on pant size 12 ....words just can't explain how wierd but GREEEAAT it is, i feel VERY restricted as far as eating, sad part my hair has started to fall and my scalp hurts alot, but its all worth it anyways sorry so long thanks 4 reading ;)

Thanks Lioness813 Congrats 2 you, Recovery from surgery i have to say was great no complications at all thank God the only thing was that after surgery i could not drink my Protein Shakes the smell, the taste, i just can't and i haven't been able to do so since so i try and get my Protein from my foods, i don't feel hungry much of the time, a daily sample menu for me would be Vitamins in the morning, i have a boiled egg for Breakfast or some oatmeal, then 2 hours later i'll have some fruit and cheese, then if i get hungry for lunch i'll have some tuna with 3 or 4 unsalted crackers then dinner would be a chicken salad, or chicken and vegetables or Soup, i have already tried most of the foods i used to eat b4 surgery already like bread and rice which i dont eat much of because i feel are too strong on my little stomache, but i haven't had any problems with any of the foods yet i just feel my stomache very restricted still like 2 or 3 spoons or bites of something and i am full then in the evenings i take my Calcium vitamins and a snack before bed like a fruit, or sugar free hot cocoa something light

      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... :(
