Hello all. Thought I would check in since tomorrow is my 6 month surgeiverary. I am down 91 pounds since surgery, 165 from my all time high. As you can see loose skin abounds. I am not at peace with any of my body changes yet, but I am at least happy to report that my GERD is getting less severe, even if it is just a minor improvement, it is still welcomed. I am a size 12 up top for most things, size 14 or 16 on bottom depending on the cut. Boobs 40H-->36G. Still have 37 pounds to go but feeling like I might actually make it.

My before picture is actually a few days after surgery. My three year old swiped my phone and I found this pic later. It is my only real before surgery picture so I kept the awful thing. Thighs still spread the same but whatcha gonna do? 😎

Congrats! You look, and I'm sure feel, fantastic! I already have some loose skin, and I'm no where near my goal, so I know there is more to come. I would rather have the loose skin than it be full of fat though! Congrats, again!

      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.

      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... :(
