I DID IT!! The first number on the scale isn't a "2" anymore! I haven't weighed this little in 24 years. It's amazing- amazing to feel 'normal' again, but also amazing that I let myself get into such terrible shape/weight. The whole sleeve surgery and diet haven't been easy, but it's certainly ben worth it. The only thing I regret about this surgery is that I didn't do it sooner. I can just imagine how life would have been different if I'd done this when my daughter was 13 instead of 23. Still... I am so psyched that I am where I am now. Eighty pounds down, 40-ish to go!!

You'll get there! We have almost the exact same stats- I am 5'5", high weight was 278, started my program at 268 (Dec. 2105). My surgery date was 9/15/16 and now I weigh less than 200 pounds. It's amazing... I feel the happy tears, but also the sad tears that I wasted so many years of my life being overweight, hating myself, and focused on how bad I looked and felt. Now? I just wish I'd done this when I was 40 or 50, instead of waiting until I turned 60.

YOU CAN DO THIS!! And thanks, everyone, for the support, advice, and kind words!

      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! 😞
