It drove me insane at first.....I would read all the updates and see how people were dropping weight right and left and I wasn't. I got really down on myself and thought I was a failure again!! Then I stopped letting it get to me.....This is my body, my journey...yes we are all different. I may be slower ....I will just reach the finish line when I get there! Don't ever tell yourself you have lost "only" or "just" 32 pounds....put that same weight of can goods in a sack and pick it up.....then you will realize how much weight you have removed from your bones carrying around. 32 pounds is a small child!

Awe @@TEXASLADY52, I love the way you put that into a better perspective for me. You're right I'll get to my goal when I get there and have to learn that patience and hard work will get me there. This is not a competition and we are all striving to get to the goal line. This is my journey and mine alone. Thanks everyone for making me look at this in a more positive light. I'm thankful I found this site and I'm truly thankful for all of you.

      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! 😞
