Yes I had my surgery on the 21st of August. In Montefiore so far I lost 20lbs the first week, I haven't weight myself after that. I don't own a scale and I don't really want to, because of the stress of seeing it and wanting to weight myself every day...the only reason I know I lost 20lbs is because I went to see my Dr.
I go again this week so I will know how much I've lost since.
I'm planning on joining planet fitness..I just don't want to go on my own but I have to do it.
How about you, did you have surgery yet? If not when?

I'm happy for you! How was this weeks been like? Almost 1 month surgeversary for you!! Did you join the gym? You need to start and later on you will love it. It happen to me, i hated going to the gym alone but I was like if I don't do it who is going to do it for me, no one so I got up one day and went and did that for like 6 months until I completely stop. Hopefully I am having surgery October or November the latest. I'm really hoping October though ;)

I am hoping for October but it seems like another thing is added to the list per specialist. I am getting a sleep study as per pulmonary which I was told in the beginning I didn't need it and now I do..... SMH And I asked in the beginning if it was part of my requirement was told everyone is different and no I did have to get one done. Would have had that done a long time ago. Last two appointments are my Pre-op from my medical provider and Nutritionist both the same day Oct 4th and I'm done God willing. I will be going to get surgery done at Mount Sinai @ St. Lukes. I was suppose to go to Montefiore but my first appointment would have been in October and would have to wait a long time for the surgery. TBH I just want to have surgery this year not next year because I want to start School in January.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
