That's when I started this whole journey. :) Funny how it seemed like the day would never come and then voila! Just like that. How are you doing?

Congratulations, I am so happy for you. 6 weeks out you must be almost normal again. How is the weight loss going?

You will be happy with Dr. Bass and his support personnel.

I never was all that "normal."

^_^

I am doing well. I am a bit tired. I find it hard to get all my Protein and liquids in.

Have lost about 33 pounds, depending on how constipated I am on any given day.

:blink:

I can tell you that getting up out of a chair is a lot easier than it used to be.

I have an arthritic knee which limits how much I can exercise. I know if I exercised more, I would lose more. But, I do what I can and I am walking more.

Sleeve gastrectomy is something that changes a lot about one's life. Expect changes. Things will never get back to "normal."

I did not like my "normal."

I have had Constipation problems since starting my pre-surgery diet I was going to ask Doc if adding some metamucil to Water would be helpful. I don't want to deal with that and everything else. Are you back to any form of solid foods yet, I am glad I had my knee replaced prior to this so I can walk. But my true exercise is swimming and my rotator cuff needs work. Try Water walking if you can. It really was helpful for me when my knees were messed up.

Keep up the good work, do what you can. I want changes, like no more raw anywhere

      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.

        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?
