@@TeacherMommy I live in Altoona and work in Ankeny, it's great to have the opportunity to find people nearby to build a support system of people who can relate to what you are experiencing. I will be anxious to hear how you are doing on your journey.

I'm hanging in there. It hasnt been 1/2 as bad as I had prepared for. The worst part was the gas, but that passed after a couple days. Now I am just hungry. I go back tomorrow for my one week checkup to talk about nutrition. I'm anxious to start introducing new foods. I'm on day 21 without a "bite" to eat. Have you received your date yet??

@@TeacherMommy I'm so glad to hear you are doing well, I am sure it is very difficult to be on liquids that long, I would be cranky for sure! :wacko: I go to module 3 tomorrow, then I will get submitted to insurance, so I really hope to have a date soon, it seems like I have been working towards this forever even though it has only been 6 months. I hope you get to progress to the next step soon!

Congrats! I was passed out for almost an entire day lol. When people were talking in my room I kept telling them to go away because I couldn't sleep with their yammering away.

I am 4 days post op and I actually wonder if we are "hungry". I don't think we are, if we eat some Soup, custard or yogurt that feeling goes away. So I think we will all be fine so long as we eat often and small amounts. Our heads are driving our hungry not our tummy's!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
