Hey. I wanted to meet some new people who has went on this journey as well and maybe have a support group because God knows I need one.

I had the surgery 3 years ago, the most I lost was 80 something lbs. I have gained weight back. I'm not sure what I weigh now, but depression and just a horrible look on life is back. I did get pregnant and gained some back then, and now I'm back in my dark hole where I was before. I go back to see my surgeon on the 17th. I am starting my diet that I was on right after surgery and hoping that sparks up something and my body is like oh yeah that's what we are suppose to be doing. Idk.

I am ready to try this again, and I'm so ready to see what my doctor says and has some input for me to do. Hopefully he slaps me and is like get it together or something lol. Idk but something has got to give I'm so ready to be active (which btw I never got the energy they talked about) but I think depression had a lot to do with that. But we will see!!

I am Rachel, 30 year old mama. My baby girl, cats and I live in Northeast, TN.

It will get better. Get your depression treated right away. You can't take care of yourself if you aren't in the mental state to do so. Then, start by logging everything you eat on myfitnesspal.com. That will help you figure out where your biggest issues are.

You're going to be fine.

      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.

      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! 😞
