What do you want from this?

Having any WLS is akin to trying to reinvent oneself (or it is to me!). So... If you were suddenly your perfect you... Who would you be?

LOL It has NOTHING to do with my weight, really, but I'm a total Pinterest addict. I would be super fashionable, a great creative cook who made her kids super neat Bento Box lunches for school (everyday!!), decorated my house per holiday, could make origami napkins for parties and decorate cakes like a pro. Silly, I know, but I just love so many things I see that other folks can do and I feel so flabby and BORING!

So, join me in fantasy land. Who would YOU be?

the easy reply to this would be a role model to my kids and grand kids. that is socially correct. The real answer is to be a sexy husband to my wife and to travel with-out health restriction. I am getting there, I am going on a cruise tomarrow, not afraid of the food issues. I want to go to Europe, and that will require a lot of walking so weight loss keep doing what your doing. Love the Band.....

In a perfect world, I would win the lotto and be able to quit my job as a teacher. Then I would split my time between volunteering, traveling, and learning to make art.

I would also speak up for myself more--be a little less PC all the time. I'm learning that though, through increased confidence.

I really want to be me. Might sound silly or smug. Not intended to be I would have liked to changed habits at a younger age so one of my sons would not be dealing with being overweight That would be a perfect world

I do not want to be something I'm not....I am happy to now be the person God intended me to be....and it just keeps getting better everyday...even at my age.

Wish I had done this 20 years ago....where would I be today if I did?

The younger people here just starting out.....just hold on tight...Because you ain't seen nothing yet!

In EVERY aspect of your life, big and small! It is TRULY a life changing event, and NOT just by getting skinny, fit, and eating healthy.....

      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! 😞
