I am so technically illiterate, I can't get the pics on this post the right way up. But if you visit my gallery on my profile, have put up some "before" pics. Never seen before outwith my family.

I am actually quite shocked to see myself... had forgotten just how big I was. But I am not there any more :-))))) Life is soooooo good... if you are struggling, I hope it shows that everything and anything is possible...

Thank you all for the kind words!

jeanZ_RN, I am a little dot of 5'2" and pre sleeve was 223lbs, 203 on the day of surgery and am now 138. Cosmetics will shave off another 5-7lbs and then I will be done. Got to goal of 140lbs after 8 months and reset it down to 135lbs. But not aiming to lose any more weight, surgeon was very happy when he saw me for my one year check :-)

We could be sisters separated at birth our stats are so similar - sadly I would have to be the older sister :-)

Thanks, my hair had been my pride and joy but lost about half its volume during the shedding period. Started growing back at about six months (it just started falling out more slowly, lol) and the pic was taken at about 10 months.

Good luck, you are almost there!

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
