Hi all, Georgia gal here, I had surgery august 1 2012. Since then, I have lost 300 lbs, now stuck, gotten married, dealt with depression getting worse, recovering from major foot reconstruction, and just need support from like minded people... I am at this point mainly because I've let myself get here, but I'm so afraid of gaining again... my husband has never been over 200 lbs and just doesn't seem to get it. Idk I'm doing over eaters anonymous online now. just would like to share tips and talk etc..

Thanks for reading,

Jen

hey, welcome! this place is an amazing resource. you'll find lots of like-minded individuals here who can understand your triumphs and struggles in a way no one else can. It's been invaluable to me since even before my surgery last August.

I'm having an ACL reconstruction in just a couple weeks... not looking forward to being laid up during my "honeymoon" phase of weight loss, but hey, shit happens. *shrug* We all just do what we can with the tools we are given and hope for the best. 300 pounds lost is no small feat! That's incredible!

If there's ever anything I can help you with, feel free to friend/message me any time. I love making new friends. And the people here are all very friendly and kind, and generally just want to help. Don't be a stranger. ^_^

Thank you! I have found a lot of non weight bearing exercises to do on floor, after you get past your first 1 or 2 weeks... **** does happen, but it's going to be better once the sitting is over! I got a knee walker and that has been my savior bc I've been able to go walk outside and stuff.

      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! 😞
