Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. I'm not at 100% yet...but I'm trying to get there. Still struggling with the swelling I have everywhere. I think I was on IV fluids waaaaayyyyyy too long. My legs are sure getting a workout with my walks to the bathroom. I'm not a person that likes pain meds at all...but I find myself thanking the Doc for making me get them..

I'm actually sooooo much better. The scale even likes me. It says I'm down 33 lbs. I still burn where they took my gall bladder out. I'm bruised where they took my stomach out but it doesn't hurt. I'm attempting a sponge shower today so I can start feeling even more like a human.

I'm soooo glad to hear you are feeling better! Did they take your gallbladder out at the same time? Did you know they were going to do that? Wow on the weight loss that's awesome! Keep feeling good!

I knew they were taking gallbladder out. Unfortunately there were complications because it was 3x the size and my liver is twice normal size. So now with things out and moved around...it feels kinda funky. Thank you for all the thoughts and cheers. Everyone gets their own surgery story. I pray for all of you that yours is uneventful.

I did take a shower and feel human. I'm sure I will want to put makeup on eventually. I'm not tired much...just taking it easy.

      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?
