"Bariatric Pal celebrity " :lol:

you "silly" head :D

all of us are celebrities :)

went to my family doctor the other day

we talked about my health, lab results i just had, stuff like that

through out my visit

i kept bringing up my surgery/weight, referring to "old" life

these comments were part of me in the past

"its" like living in one state for years and years

i will always remember where i came from

but i'm so happy where i live now :)

I won't miss the print marks on my waist from tight jeans and every sexy shoe hurting my feet

While I don't wear sexy shoes being a guy and all (though there's nothing wrong with the guys that do...) ... I can relate to the print marks. They get SOO itchy, and I think I got a perms-bruise of some sort on my waist line from that. There's a splotch of darker skin right where my tight pants would always be bunched-up some.

I will not miss:

Taking Medication

Not being able to stand and/or shop longer than 30 minutes because of my back hurting

Asking for an extender on the plane

Hoping to fit in the booths at the restaurant

Fear of having a heart attack or being diagnosed with diabetes

I will not miss the mean treatment from people who judge me and never really get to know me because I am fat.

I will not miss feeling like I need a full body bra because of the jiggle and bouncing while running... @ Lexie I am down to a b cup from a d cup... Don't miss that either ;)

I will not miss the inner legs of my jeans wearing out.

I look forward to finding a bra the right size. You really can't find a 48 b. I look forward to not having to get my husband to ask for a seatbelt extender on planes because I'm too embarrassed. I won't miss aching joints from holding up extra weight. I look forward to being able to share clothes with my friends.

I won't miss seeing that big butt or stomach of mine in the mirror!

No more back aches! No more knee pain! Especially when I want to go on a walk with my husband! I will no longer get winded from just walking, and will be able to walk farther than normal without having to sit down!

Using the stairs again and not getting winded...

Reversing sleep apnea - hypertension - pre diabetes

I'll be able to sit comfortably at concerts, and can ditch the seat belt extender when I go on flights in the future!

I'll be able to do something my husband has asked me to do for several months now! Get rid of the clothes that I can no longer wear! (And it won't be my skinnier clothes that I'll be getting rid of)! Well.... maybe - because they'll be getting too big to wear - which leads to...

SHOPPING! I'll be able to shop in the Women's department, and not Plus Size. I'll have more of a selection of clothing to chose from!

And most of all - liking myself again!

      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! 😞
