Only I Can Change My Life, No One Can Do It For Me

The Struggle You Are In Today Is Developing The Strength You Need for Tomorrow

The Road May Be Bumpy But Stay Committed To The Process

If You Are Tired Of Starting Over, Stop Giving Up

Be The Best Version Of You

Be Stronger Than Your Excuse

It’s Not A Diet, It’s A Lifestyle Change

Doubt Kills More Dreams Than Failure Ever Will

Will Is A Skill

Nothing Tastes As Good As Being Thin Feels

Stressed Spelled Backwards Is Desserts

An Active Mind Cannot Exist In An Inactive Body

Strive For Progress, Not Perfection

Success Is Never Certain, Failure Is Never Final

No Amount Of Security Is Worth The Suffering Of A Life Chained To A Routine That Has Killed Your Dreams

A Goal Without A Plan Is Just A Wish

Success Is The Sum Of Small Efforts, Repeated Day In And Day Out

You Can’t Cross The Sea Merely By Standing And Staring At The Water

You gain strength, courage and confidence by

every experience by which you really stop to

look fear in the face. You are able to say to

yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can

take the next thing that comes along."

      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... :(
