My surgery was on the 17th also (but I'm wicked old compared to most of you. Lol.)

I haven't told many people either: the cousin who inspired me to have VSG and the aunt who asked me if I'd ever consider going what my cousin did (We're very close and I was in pre-op mode and my mouth/brain wouldn't let me lie to her). The week before, I told a close friend because she's my medical emergency contact. That was it.

I've since told the 2nd of my 3 close friends (again, I just couldn't make myself lie when she asked what was new...oh, nothing, just lying here with 5 holes in my belly and missing most of my stomach...you know, same old, same old). I will tell the third friend before I see her in August.

I haven't yet decided whether I will tell my dad. We're close too, but live far away from each other so sometimes we take "but I didn't want to worry you" too far...to the point that he now brings medical reports when he visits so he doesn't get the third degree from my aunt and I. Lol.

I'm close to a few people at work, but they definitely don't need to know.

Oh, and I've never been so excited at the thought of eating an egg or cottage cheese!!!! Counting down to Tuesday!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
