I'm a revision patient. I had my surgery October of this year. It will be 3 months come January. I am 8 pounds away from being under 200lbs, I never thought I would get this far so soon. I now feel confident that I will get to my goal weight! One day, one step at a time.

Hey Auri, Nice to hear from you. you sound very positive and that's a good thing. I'm still waiting around and will see my surgeon in two weeks. Hopefully I will start the pre-op diet. You can really see a difference and I know that you will get to goal before you know it.

Wow, Auri, you are such an inspiration! I am also a revision patient but I was only able to get my band removed this month. I have to wait until April now to get the gastric bypass done but seeing your results makes the wait a little easier. Thank you for sharing! :)

Update: the last 2 months were a bit rough for me, very slow losses, one month was only 2 lb loss. While that was happening, I lost a massive amount of inches though. I took measurements from hips, belly button, waist, arms, legs and bust. All those together were 243 at the start of Janurary, 3 weeks ago I took the measurements again and it was 226.75, that's a total of 16 inches lost. I lost 4 inches off my hips alone. Just this week I went in and tried on some pants, they were a size 12 (a bit tight around the stomach but they fit and zipped. So if the scale fails you, just know you are indeed losing inches. So far I've lost a total of 52" since the beginning of my journey. From a 22/24 to now a just right 14 and tight 12. Also I've gone down another 6 lbs and am 194.

Auri you look fantastic! I am just postop day 3 and cannot imagine looking as good as you do in 6 months. I imagine you feel like a new person. What are you doing for exercise? Right now I am totally afraid to get moving but I know I will have to adopt some type of exercise into my daily routine.

      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! 😞
