Hi my name is Kassandra and this is my journey.

I just got home today from the hospital after getting gastric bypass. I have been struggling with weight for more than 10 years in the 200lb range. I reached my heaviest twice in my 20s and it was the second time that I knew I needed more help then I was getting through other diets and exercise programs. They helped but only a little.

I worked on getting surgery once before but due to insurance issues it never happened but this time....this time it happened and as much as I hurt right now I know it will be worth it all. I started my journey at 285lbs and when I was weighed at the hospital I was at 255lbs. It's amazing how nearly a year had passed before getting where i am now. I know it will be a tough road but now I have a power tool to help me out to get me where I need to be. 20170125_141046_001.jpg

Good luck Kass. We have similar stats. I had rny on 5/3 and have lost more weight in 3 weeks then I did for 6 months on the Pre op diet! Determination and commitment is key but wasn't enough before my surgery. With this tool it's all I need.




I am very glad to hear that. I've compared pictures of myself and I see a bigger difference now then a year ago when I was attempting once again to get on the right track

      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! 😞
