I have been lurking around on this website since 2013. I have found this site to be very informative and at times entertaining , but I thought that rather than watch on the sidelines I would get on board and try to get some support and give some also. I went through the Bariatric process with Kaiser in 2013 and I had a date of 1-6-2014. I did not go through with the surgery, and I regretted that for a while but now in hindsight I know that was a good decision because I had more work I needed to do on myself to get ready for the surgery. In any case I have been through the process a second time now and I am waiting for insurance approval which hopefully should come any day now. Working on a pre op eating program and getting things in order before surgery. I am mom to 2 boys one is 19 and in college the other is a 8 year old Schnauzer.

I look forward to reading more of your inspiring posts, and chatting with you. I will post again when I get my approval and my surgery date.

      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! 😞
