Sorry if this is in the wrong category(Please feel free to tell me where to put it if I'm wrong!). But I figured maybe this could be a good place to make friends with people with similar experiences. I thought it might be great to have a thread where you can post a bit about your interests and your surgery, and someone with similar ones can message you and become maybe pen pals/Weight Loss buddies. 😄 I'm sure I'm not the only one who wouldn't mind sharing experiences and cheering each other on!

I suppose a bit about myself 😄

I'm from California, and I started at 357 pounds, I'm currently at 267 pounds. I had gotten to almost 257 pounds, but gained some back due to insane stress from school and a loss of my dog. I struggle a bit with depression and anxiety, but I've been trying to better myself! I am a huge anime nerd and I like to play video games. I attend anime conventions, and cosplay. Which is how I met my sweetheart of a boyfriend. I'm currently in community college trying to get my AA in Psychology before going off to get my BA, and so on. 😄 I had my surgery April 12, 2018, and it was one of the best decisions in my life. I'm 23, almost 24 in July.

Feel free to message me if you have similar interests! 😄 Would love to make friends!

Also feel free to post about yourself if you'd like to try to make friends.

      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! 😞
