I have been on this journey since September 2017. I was completing all my classes and visits, but got off track, I think it was self-sabotage from fear, with my weight. My starting weight was 296 and I was down to 284 when I met my surgeon and he set a goal weight of 278.

For Kaiser in Northern California you just have to reach the goal weight, psych eval, and attend the classes they have. You can go as fast as you want as long as you make weight. I finally hit 277 and got my psych appointment but weighed in 278.8 the day of and had to wait until I got under 278 to move forward. At that point I changed it up and pushed through and got to 274 and was able to schedule my blood work. Today I did my one on one with the RN and my weight was 271.4! I met with her with my Vitamins and food journal and she gave me a surgery date of 4/18/18!!!!! I had to have another appointment with the surgeon and she “forced” me in right after our appointment.

I could have gone to surgery sooner but I have to go to a pre-op class that’s only on Wednesday’s so I have to wait until 4/11/18 for that.

I’m super excited! Anybody else excited for April surgery dates?

      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! 😞
