I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone here for being kind and offering people support who are doing this. You have been a big help so far and I will probably need you again. (I had surgery Monday.)

I also would like to comment that it takes a tough human being to do this. This isn't for sissies. Whenever we face any issues with surgery and in life, we need to remember that we are strong and tough. That should give us the strength we need to pull through in any situation.

Congratulations on your life changing surgery.

You got that right sister! This surgery and the behavior modification we must go through to be successful is not for the faint of heart!

Sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk as much as you can after surgery.

I wish you an uneventful trip down the "loser's" highway!

Blessings,

Kathleen

Thank you, Bella. I am still getting used to the idea. There is lots to look forward to. It's exciting, but it's still a little scary.

It takes a while to adjust. I believe those that compare it to a full time job! You've taken the steps to brave surgery, not an easy decision. Good for you! Congratulations!

I think that's a good analogy. It is like having a full-time job!

Thank you!

      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! 😞
