i am over a year post-op...

Be excited about everything--it is all worth it

Crossing my legs in an airplane seat

wearing white pants

being able to clip my work badge on the waste band of my pants - with my shirt tucked in

spending all day at a fair or concert and not feeling exhausted after an hour

taking the stairs ALL THE TIME

feeling good about not eating junk

buying clothes off the rack

getting up from sitting down and having nothing hurt

crying about the number on the scale for the opposite reasons I did in the past

love every thing about the new you

I cant wait to be able to ride horses again, and bike riding comfortably!!!

I was excited to ride roller coasters again and I did so on my recent vacation. Such a great feeling!

You both hit some of my big goals. I so miss riding horses, that was such a passion of mine growing up. I also want to be able to spend time at the barn mucking stalls, grooming, etc...without dropping!

We live very close and are annual passholders to Disney. Generally, their rides are accomodating for size, however, I want to be able to ride in the same seat with my husband and daughter and toddler. And I want to ride the rollercoasters at Universal (they are not so accomodating).

Additionally, I want to be able to sit in an airplane seat and not need an extender or get "those looks" from passengers. You know the ones, "please don't let her sit here."

Most of all I want to live life and be there for my children!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
