I did not realized i was living my life in bondage. My body was/is my cage. My fat is a leash. Once i started losing my little walks are like freedom. My body screams get up move dance it craves it my mind say no remember walking hurts dancing causes pain. I fight my sub conscious everyday and each time its a sweet surprise I can move i can walk. I never knew how much i missed it. Mentally i wait for the pain and i approch each movement timidly. But the pain never comes so i do more but my leash hold me back still i realize im not ready my journey is still not complete but i reached a new level. So tomorrow i will fight to walk again enjoy the surprise of no pain again and walk a few steps futher. My body is my canvas it is no longer my cage my fat is my clay each movement shaping and twisting it to chisel a better me. My movement is my freedom.

I played a game of football catch with my son today we even had a jogging contest. He knows my goal is to play a real game of basketball with him and his father.

I am in the same boat. I went jogging today for the first time ever. I've still got a long ways to go but it is a surprise that we feel the difference and how far we've actually come! Keep dancing

      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! 😞
