It just dawned on me that yesterday was one year since my VSG. Here are a couple of progress pics and screenshots of my smart BMI charts.

As of this morning, I've lost 112.4lbs. At 5'8", my measurements are 39"-28"-39". I'm not sure what they were at my heaviest of 170lbs. When clothes shopping, I reach for a size 6, but of course every store/brand is different.

Without doubt, I am thrilled with my progress. Still a few pounds away from my goal.

I have never been normal weight as an adult and I must admit that my self-image is quite skewed. The numbers don't match what I perceive in the mirror. It's definitely weird.

I love to run and move now. It feels amazing and freeing. My body can do things that I've haven't experienced in decades.

This surgery was worth every hard-earned cent it cost me. I am grateful every day for my good fortune. Thank you to everyone here at BP for allowing me to vent and hopefully help others in turn.

      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! 😞
