Feeling Upset and Frustrated

Many people feel sad about giving up over eating. I think it is very helpful to look at before and afters, read success stories and focus on your own dreams.

food in excess is like that bad boyfriend, sure makes you feel good in the moment but let's you down over the long haul. Obesity damaged my body and limited my life. Gaining the freedom that being trim brings is worth way more than the temporary "pleasure" of overeating brings.

I am 4 years post op and I still look at my own before and afters to remind myself just how worth it this is!

I am having surgery on February 15th. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. It definitely helps to read and watch videos about what to expect...so glad I found out about this app so I can connect and stay connected. ????

      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?

      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! 😞
