I was at a sheetz today getting some lunch and in walked a family the mom and dad were kinda big folks but the son was hugh and looked to only be around 10 or 11 and i immediatly felt sad. I seen myself in this kid and also my owen boys it it scared me i felt so bad for this kid knowing the struggles he more than likely faces everyday due to his weight.and i found myself thinking about when i was around this kids age the crap i was put through. I said a little pray for him to myself and then i thought oh man im glad ive made the decision for weight loss not only for myself but for the fact i want to get in shape and show my kids a healthier lifestyle change and hope they follow.

I got sleeved because someone pulled me aside. I had already considered the idea so I think it became a gentle push. I'm 9 days post op and know I have made the right decision

      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! 😞
