I have been a lurker or member for over 3 years here. I have a definite interest in helping everyone understand WLS as I have come to know it and would be interested in sharing my experience, strength and hope as it relates to this vast journey.

I would like to believe we have enough WLS folks in the Portland, OR area to support meeting on a weekly basis. Once a month, we would have a cooking demonstration and perhaps a Saturday morning walk through Forest Park.

My drive would be to focus on self, creating nutritionally balanced meal plans integrated with proper exercise techniques for every level. This could be accomplished though demonstrations by myself as well as local folks who could presentations.

Portland is a great community focused metropolis and I believe our city will support our efforts.

      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?
