Hi everyone, I am Andrew from South Africa, I had my surgery on the 9th of Feb and I am down 76kg (167lbs) since this whole journey started in November last year... This has changed my life so much, I have never been shy or an introvert, and have had alot of success in my life professionally and personally... But since the weight has come off, and still going... My feet have not yet touched the ground... This desicion was by far the greatest one I have made.. In 33 years of existence, I am truly alive now... I have been going through the stories and photos from you guys and girls... And you all look amazing.

Wow I can't wait for me to feel good about myself

You should feel good about yourself now laneydasilva, I don't know your story, but if you are on this bariatric journey, you took a massive step already, and should absolutely feel fantastic about that. ;)

What an inspiring testimony. I can't wait until it's my turn to utter the iconic "best decision ever" phrase. It's become the equivalent of a rite of passage.

I love your inspiring words! I'm early on in the process with about 4 months out.

Thank you, most important thing, is you are in the process.. I'm really glad I can be of any assistance to you, even if it's just a few words of encouragement... Be strong :)

      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! 😞
