I started on a journey to health after seeing myself in pictures of my son's wedding. Between health issues and lack of energy I had nearly given up and accepted life was just going to be as it was. And then I decided NO. It will not be luke that. Life can be so much more.

I began slowly losing the weight. Watching what I ate. Mixing all the facts I've learned over the years from dieting. I lost about 20 lbs on my own. Not quite what I had hoped for. Lol

I decided to take the plunge and get serious so I could play with my grandbabies. Get on the floor (and know I could get back up without assistance.)???? I was sleeved on 2/27/15. Pre surgery from highest weight I lost 30lbs total. Post surgery I have lost 42lbs for a grand total of 72lbs. What an amazing journey this has become. Well worth it all.

Thanks so much! I can remember how miserable I was the day of the first pic and I almost feel like I am a different person now. I have a long way to go but feel 100% better already!

      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! 😞
