Hi Little Nan, welcome!!

Well, I have weighed the same for the past week, so I'm not progressing as quickly on the challenge, but I'm going to keep plugging away.

Went to get my 3rd fill yesterday and the doctor didn't want to give me a fill because he said I'm losing weight just fine without another one. I was surprised, but since I'm leaving the country in 2 weeks, he didn't want to take a chance.

How are the other challengers doing? I'm still at 228, but drinking Water like crazy!

Here's to success!!

I am down 30 now and I am so happy!

I was a tight 18 (even if the material is strechy)and today I am wearing 14 pants and 14 dress shirt from Ann Taylor (which is not strechy) I feel so great.

Yesterday at work people were starting to say 'are you losing weight - you look great!' Finally people are noticing which makes me feel even better.

Now, the next goal is 7 pounds. Once I get those pounds off I will be halfway to goal. Amazing! Love my band.

dlyrical - You're doing great! How's it going since your 2nd fill. I noticed you have 7cc in a 14 cc VG band. I have the same band, but with only 3 cc's. I'm hoping to get another fill next month. Do you have much restriction so far?

Keep up the good work.

      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! 😞
