First off I cannot believe I am almost a year out from my new life. Life has changed for me dramatically in so many ways. The things I never thought I would be able to do, I’m able to do today. One was change my relationship with food. food has been part of my life for so long and just the thought of handling life issues on my own without the comfort of food was a hard pill to swallow. My health has turned around for the best which was the most important thing I wanted to do, I did not want my weight to be a factor in my death. I was miserable, I was overweight, I was angry, I was never able to find clothes that actually fit me, and I was trapped in a body that I ultimately hated.

I knew things were bad for me when I was unable to reach my girl parts in the shower. I was unable to walk one block without losing my breath & my sleep apnea was really out of control when I would choke and stop breathing while I slept. For a few years I would not even take pictures or look in the mirror, I basically hated my own reflection. My only regret about having my surgery was I wish I had done this sooner.

I have had many bumps in the road. And believe me this is no easy way out, you have to take it day by day. My relationship with food, people and loved ones have all changed for the better…(yes believe me I am a new person, so whatever was negative in my life before is no longer in my life now…elimination is key this time around and it feels good to be in control)

For anyone starting their own journey, I would like to say, do your research, find much needed support, ask as many questions as you like no question is dumb, never compare yourself to others, do what works for you, stick to the program, LOG YOUR FOODS, eat your Protein and be sure to take your Vitamins, learn to love the new person that will surface life only gets better from here!

and most important---DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO TALK YOU OUT OF TAKING YOUR LIFE BACK AND LIVING A HEALTHIER LIFE!

Congratulations. I am glad to hear things are better for you now. Cant wait to be in that side of things.

Your welcome. I have had too do 2 Weeks of antibotics for a stomach infection before they would submit to insurance for approval.

Are u feeling better now? Sometimes I swear the insurance is designed to stress us out, but don't let that stress you do everything you have to do to move forward

      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! 😞
