I'm doing well so far. Some days are better than others and some things are slow going. I'm five weeks out so I'm trying to figure out what I can eat and what I can't. Slowly adding things back in. So far, no major issues to speak of though. Outside of the fact that this week I've been plagued with nausea. Best of luck to you.

I am going through Dr. Van Wagner with Heart of America Bariatrics. I will be getting my surgery at Mercy Jefferson hospital in Festus. I'm getting pretty nervous too trying to take it one day at a time. We should definitely keep in contact. I've been looking for some support/ someone to talk to about this stuff! :D

I know the Protein fast is hard but just look at all the weight you will lose before your surgery that's less you will have to worry about after surgery. Make sure you let me know how your feeling coming out of surgery. This is the first I have ever heard of this Bariatric center I thought I called them all when I was searching. Good luck to a new u.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
