Thank you mln74! Has not been easy!! I remember when i had to attend a group meeting before having surgery...the phycologist was talking to us for a lil over an hour...telling us that if we decided to tell people and that if they said we did the easy way out that we should tell them yes, yes i did that you would be an idiot to do it the hard way....then he said...BUT in fact what we are doing is VERY difficult.... You know what...it is...this is NO JOKE..everday is easier but wow its very hard....i think it was easier before lol...

Agreed! Just told my hubby that this morning. I was sleeved on 4/4 and told him whoever thinks this is the easy way out is sadly mistaken!

Went to my pcp today...guess what my labs look fantastic!! Everything she even said my bad cholesterol is non existent (never had that issue anyways)

My chest pain is gone...or damn near...she felt around and said i probably i tore some cartilage in my chest..she explained the pain to me and it is exactly what i felt!!! She said take it easy so i dont regrivate it....consider it done! Lol

My weight today is 158.2

Looking forward to hitting the gym in a few months.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
