Hi, I'm Kim and would really like to get together with others on this journey with me. Hope some of you will too!

I am only 8 weeks post op but would love to assist someone in Anson County, NC. We don't have any WLS support in this county. Although I am a former teacher, I don't feel that I have enough experience to head this up but would really love to see it happen!

I had the bypass. That would be great to have some support. I find it difficult to figure out what pills to take and when to take them. And eating six times a day is also hard for me.

I remember being overwhelmed with the whole process too. Did your dr/nutritionist give you any info on what to do and when? You should probably be on liquids still. There is a lot of info here and don't be discouraged! Kim

Yes it is very overwhelming. They gave me info. I'm still on the liquids. When did your swelling start going down?

I'm pretty new to NC, living in the Asheville area. I'm on the very first steps of this journey and need all the support I can get. Is there anyone else in the Buncombe Co area?

      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?
