I've been living nicotine free since August 13th 2013 and Friday night my husband took me out for drinks and I had 2 cigarettes well today I met with the bariatric office for the first time and I have 2 do nicotine test for 3 months so I'm probably going to fail the first one. Man I'm so pissed at myself!

That sucks... My surgeon says that if you smoke, you might as well not get the surgery at all.

I didn't have to get tested or anything (I don't smoke) but is this normal practice for your surgeon?

Well today was my first appointment with the surgeon and they said anyone who quits smoking as I have (I used Chantix) has to do 3 tobacco urine free months and at some point they do a surprise one. I don't mind that part I really don't I'm just mad at myself plus I had every single thing done except 1 more weigh in.

Everything happens for a reason. It isn't my time until the man upstairs sets everything right in my path. It was just upsetting at first.

      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! 😞
