I had my surgery on June 7,2016 day of surgery weight was 235 starting weight was 252, today I'm at 196 and went from a size 20 to a size 13 !! I'm so excited , I have a lot more energy now, I haven't been in this size since I was 18. I still have ways to go to get to my goal weight, but I'm happy with how far I have come. It's been tough, but worth it.post-292516-14720624221408_thumb.jpg post-292516-14720625004647_thumb.jpg

I haven't been 196 since I was 18, too! And at age 17, I was only 145. Hard to believe I was 115 at age 14! Oral steroids are evil, lol! Congratulations! You look amazing!

I'm super happy for u. I'm having a hard time with not being jealous and sad that I was done on June 21st and I've been stuck at 32 lbs for three weeks. Feeling so discouraged

I noticed you have tattoos on your arms. I also have 2 very special tattoos on my upper arms. Right side upper arm a flying pig for my dad that passed from cancer 3 years ago and on the left a half upper sleeve of a Horned Owl with teal ribbon for my mother in law that just passed from ovarian cancer this last May. I was wondering if your tattoos are changing any? Stretching out etc.

You look amazing and make me feel excited about maybe having WLS

Thank you, don't get discouraged. Everyone is different, look at your calorie intake if your not taking in enough calories your body stops burning fat, make sure your taking in your Protein and walking! You got this, you can do it! @@trae33

@@kimberb , thank you ! I haven't seen anything happen to my tattoos as far as stretching or anything like that. As for the surgery it's been a challenge but well worth it! This is by far one of the hardest journeys I have taken. Good luck! You can do it!

I'm only 3 weeks out, what kinds of things do you eat? I'm curious because you have had such great results...maybe I can steal some food ideas from you! ????

I had to follow a 6 week diet plan set by my surgeon. First week was liquid, followed by two weeks Puree, two weeks semi solid then regular consistency foods.. No eggs till after eight weeks. But lots of Protein, Beans and spinach lol chicken breast and I love eggplant I use it when I want Pasta or pizza I just use that instead, as the crust or the Pasta substitute. Love bananas with lactate milk became lactose intolerant... Or Peanut Butter and banana.

      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! 😞
