I'm so excited!! My summer prerequisite classes are coming to a close this week and on Friday my kids,and I leave on vacation for 6 days before my full time masters program starts!

We live in Northern California and no will head to see family in Anaheim and go to California Adventure :) It will be the first time I will ride rides without wondering if I'll fit or if it will latch! I remember not being allowed to ride a ride at magic mountain because it wouldn't latch over my boobs and tummy :)

Then, onto AZ to see family who knows I've had the surgery but hasn't seen the progress. They have known me for the past 15 years as 250-265 and a 3X/22 pants.

Being a size 12 will be fun to show off. And I've missed my family so much.

I hope I haven't sounded conceeded. I really am very humble about this whole progress. I'm grateful to the support here and by my loved ones as I make the transition to the person I've always felt like buried inside the fat

You should be proud and excited! Have lots of fun and enjoy not having to worry about those old problems of "will I fit"! I'm sure everyone will be shocked to see your change. Just be prepared for those nagging questions and statements! Even people that love us and mean well slip up and say something we may find inappropriate or insulting. :)

      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! 😞
