Okay...so we all know that our mind is the real beast to tame during this process. I find myself essentially eating the same foods week after week. I do this because right now i am focusing on my mental changes and i can cook new things at any time. I figure we have a"honeymoon period" for a reasona nd I am using it to my fullest capacity. My clothes are getting to big and i had to cut my hair off because it is falling out! I just took a new side by side because i dont see anything when i look in the mirror and that is totally discouraging! Some days i am frustrated that i can only eat 1/2 cup of food and some days i dont care if i eat at all. I have been riding this rollercoaster for more than 30 years and i continue to ride now. I want you all to know that you can do this...you are strong enough...you are worth it! As i say goodbye to 70 pounds at the 4.5 month mark....i say....

Here is to 2017...lets make it great!!!

I live in Council Bluffs, but had my surgery in Omaha.

Where do I belong?

You are most welcome our fellow Iowan. When was your surgery? How are you doing?

I had my surgery 12/22. After reading through some other posts I find myself extremely fortunate. I didn't experience any nausea other than when in the anesthesia induced stupor when they were moving me from one bed to the other between surgery and my room and no uncontrollable pain. I have taken very little pain meds since I've been home.

I have found if I don't eat on schedule I'll dry heave, not a pleasant experience.

      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?
