Did a little lunch time shopping and bought a couple size 0 dresses. It's hard to believe I used to go into that same store struggling to fit into a size 22. Losing over 130 lbs truly changes so many wonderful things.

Surgery date: 12-2012

Starting weight 246

Current weight 109

Age-40

Height 4' 11" & 1/2

HAPPIEST SLEEVER IN THE WORLD

You look great! What's your average calories per day and a typical menu for a day ? Carbs?

Well, today I had some Cereal for breakfast (Apple Jacks if I'm being honest) and for lunch I had one piece of Hawaiian pizza. I've not had dinner yet and not sure I will. Might just do a Protein Shake or bar. I lost the majority of my weight the first 6 months and have been between 105-116 in the last 6-7 months. I weigh every day which I know a lot of people are against but it holds me accountable. I do eat what I want, just in small portions. I don't work out. I have 5 kids, a hubby (my 6th kid) and a very demanding career. I think I would have better muscle tone and not be as "skinny" looking had I worked out but I just didn't want to and since the weight was coming off I decided not to over think it. I can't tell you how much it has changed my life. My career is better than ever, I participate with my kids, I love going places with my hubby and traveling and experiencing different things. It just doesn't get any better.

TRUST ME!! I understand. I never dreamt there was this tiny body under all of that fluffiness. I always said "I'm big boned" or "I'm solid". Come to find out....I was just fat. Lol hang in there. I look forward to seeing your new found smoking body!!! :)

      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! 😞
