I am in the planning stages of my surgery, have applied for my passport and have decided on a surgeon in whom I have great confidence. I have also decided to be up-front about my WLS with my family, supervisors and co-workers. It may not be the best idea for everyone, but for me it has been great. There is no doubt that laughter is the best medicine. Every day at least one of them comes up with a new "I know somebody" story. Everything from "uneducated surgeons with dirty gloves" to "stealing kidneys, livers and lungs." It's really getting to be the office joke. I think they are having more fun with this than I am! Actually talking about it so openly is helping me get through the nervousness. I was just wondering if anyone else is getting these stories?!?

You know they are proud of you or they wouldn't be on you like that! I imagine they have watched your progress with great interest. You should really have a party for their support and caring if you haven't already!! LOL Two years and looking like a Rock Star! Such an inspiration and what an uplifting attitude!!

      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.

      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! 😞
