Congratulations and thanks for all your inspiring and encouraging posts as well as the fun challenges!

I've been on here since Apr '18, about 6 weeks after my surgery. Wish I'd found the site sooner!

I've only been here myself about a year and a half, but I second Orchids and Dragon' s emotion, I too have found it a wonderful support and information site!

10 years. I wanted surgery long ago, but my insurance wouldn't cover it. Not until I became disabled and got Medicare would I have surgery. I'm now just over 4 months out and 65 pounds down. Wish I could have had surgery sooner, but better late than never!

Congratulations @GreenTealael !

I have always appreciated your humor and insights here in my year or so of lurking reading.

Raising a toast to you now,

with a big bottle of endangered glacier water. πŸ˜€

Cheers!

And I'll join in with my Ensure Blue Raspberry Electrolyte powder drink, don't think I'm urinating enough, maybe the moisture is going into perspiration so this hour I'm drinking it 2 ounce cups at a time. Gosh I do miss being able to drink enough at a time to feel truly hydrated. Ah I knew in my mind that I would have restrictions. See every one else talks about "food funerals" , I mourn my pint and quart bottle bye-byes. Didn't realize the joy of a free and easy swallow!🍢

@frust8Nice to see you updated your stats! I love following your progress! But, wasn't your surgery Sept 5? It says the 4th. I only remember your date because it's my birthday!

I started reading posts a couple of months before my surgery but don't think I actually joined until after surgery. I don't post much but do find much support from others. I'm almost at my doctor's goal, but think my personal goal will be a little lower.

      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. Β 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 πŸ₯³πŸ˜­. 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! 😞

      IΚ»m roughlyΒ 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs.Β 
      I live on the island of OΚ»ahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play, Β and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm.Β 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really startingΒ to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order.Β 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.Β
