Im sooo excited! I just finished the very last of my pre-op testing (upper GI barium swallow, blood work, respiratory, EKG, etc) and I could not be more excited. I even paid off my portion of the surgery bill. YAY!!!

I will say that for a bit during the testing, I got a little nervous.... because it finally became real. This is actually happening. After nearly a full year, Im *thisclose*. I start my liquid diet a week from tomorrow, which I hope goes by quickly! Aaand then I have my last face to face apt with my surgeon... then, its V-DAY, as in VICTORY DAY!

Losers bench here I come, baby!

I finished my last appt last Thursday. Pulmonologist, cardiologist, Stress test, echo, nutritionist, upper gi, psychiatrist, and sleep study. It felt like it took forever but now that it's done Im anxious for the next phase and to start my new healthier life.

      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!!

      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! 😞
