I just 10 days post op so I know I am extra slow right now, but my goal is to have it together by the end of the month. So whatever is in May, keep me in mind and I will see if I can stroll with you!

Congrats...I hope you make your goal... I need to set up one of those... I have RA, so I would have to walk it, but I'd be happy coming in last as long as I finished.

My sister is a power walker, so she does "runs" but usually comes in last...but still does them ;) ...

I have RA too and I only walk and its a slow pace and honestly I will hurt for a few days afterwards but its awesome to just finish it makes you feel great when I finish my first one I cried

so did you run it or walk it @rayanne ? for that much walking I need to use, at least, a walking stick... but we are going to a Ren Faire soon and I will have my stick in hand to enjoy the day like I haven't been able to in YEARS

I'm in Florida so I can't walk with you but I have been doing 5ks and I love them. I walk slow/fast/ trott whatever...I just want to finish (and not be last - I do have some pride !). It has become my #1 exercise. I get fresh air, meet people and loose some weight along the way. My favorites are the Gate River Run and the Donna Breast Cancer events - both have well over 15,000 participants. I feel like a marathoner because I participate and when you finish you get a medal which I proudly hang in my office at work. Good luck and way to go !!!!!!

      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... :(
