I can wrap a towel around myself and there's NO gap!

I can finally wear my wedding rings again. I took them off when I was pregnant 5 years ago and they haven't even been close to fitting again until recently.

I got to shop in Target's regular clothing section yesterday!

Someone commented on one of my YouTube videos that they could see my collarbones. I was probably way more excited than I should have been about that, but it made my day!

Hmmm there have been so many of them over the past 2 years! To pick a few highlights......

1. Being able to go to the amusement park and ride all of the roller coasters with my kids. I had an unfortunate event where I couldn't fit into a ride pre-op which was the turning point for me deciding to have surgery, so that was a big one for me.

2. Becoming a runner

3. Having enough confidence to have boudoir photos taken as a thank you for my husband for all of his support

4. Buying and wearing bikinis this past summer

5. Being told on many occasions that I look like my teen daughters' sister not mother

6. Having plenty of room in the middle airplane seat

7. Having to do my laundry separately because I get my clothes confused with my daughters'

8. Being called "thin" or "skinny" on a regular basis

9. I never get over having collar bones and hip bones. It's the little things.... lol

10. Having more energy to be more active with my fam

Often I'll sit in the bath until all the Water is drained out. I used to get up and a bunch of water would come rushing out from behind me because my body had been so big that I blocked it from draining. The first time that I got up and there was no more water I almost cried.

I have always wanted a massage, but was too ashamed of my body to get one. Today I treated myself to a birthday massage and it was amazing. I wasn't the LEAST bit insecure!!

      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! 😞
