I was also 253 on the day of surgery. Things have been going a bit slow, but I hope to have similar success.

That's Great! I'm running a 5k in April with friends and bought matching camo tanks and butterfly wings. (a tutu was our other option). Hope I'm not far behind in posting I'm down 100lbs. Awesome job

I've never been big on running, mainly because I never could run too well, but doing a 5k with my friends is something I can't wait to do! I live in snohomish county and there is always a cool run going in around the Seattle area!

You are living proof that stalls are OK! It's also good to see your diet to know I am not too far off the mark. Really happy for you! What success! Enjoy! :)

Hi Bella!

Thanks!! I do not really exercise. I just do "activity" that is fun - like walk my dog when it's warm, ride my bike to Sonic to get a diet tea, belly dance for fun, etc. At the beginning I could barely walk- mainly cuz of pain due to the surgery- but I built up to a thirty minute walk with my Great Dane (her picture is my avatar) after a couple months. I really just want to do the Color Run/Walk with my family (they're all active) for the fun of it. Looks like a blast!!

Thank you SO much everyone! You are all so encouraging!! I truly hope that everyone hits their goal and experiences the joy of success!

Just remember, you can't control how fast it comes off. You can only control your day by day (hour by hour) actions :-)

      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... :(
