Sorry to be so late to reply, clearly I don't get email notifications!

I had my surgery on July 29th, and am doing wonderfully. I had a check-up with my family doctor at about 4 weeks post op, just for the sake of checking in, and my blood pressure had already gone from 150/90 pre-op to 107/74. My energy is up, my confidence is up, my clothes don't fit, and life is good. Recovery has been a lot easier than I expected.

Absolutely the BEST decision I have ever made for myself!! 52lbs down since I started my pre-op diet, and 30lbs down since surgery!

This is so great to hear!

I hadn't seen a post from you since you were scheduled for surgery so I was a bit worried!

Did you get a chance to take some photos while you were in Mexico? How did it go?

No, I opted not to bring my good camera. I didn't anticipate feeling as awesome as I did (was shopping the day after surgery for trinkets for my kids). That's ok. I will be going back for boobs eventually LOL I can take it then!

The trip was nice, I woke up from surgery feeling fairly groggy and dizzy. But once that passed (a few hours), I felt WAY better than I expected.

Out of the 4 who were done the same day as me, the 4 or 5 that were done the day before, and the 5 who were done the day after only 1 was feeling sick for the first few days. I think I was the perkiest and most energetic though.

Glad to hear you had such a good recovery.

By the way, I downloaded the Camera Plus app to my phone and have been playing with it a little bit.

      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! 😞
