Yah, I am still at good restriction. Although i have the same issue as you, some days I can eat more than others, and once in a while my band has to remind me- "slow down, smaller bites idiot!" lol Otherwise things are the same. I know 4lbs will go fast, but my motivation factor right now is 0.. For some reason? You would think that since I am proud of not smoking that I would be excited to hit the gym and try out the new lungs? Noooooooo uh:(Not to mention I set my Daytona goal to help me get motivated- not a chance! I think that mentally I gave myself the option to gain weight while quitting just so I could cheat. I def have my "fatty habits" lurking:( I know I can do this, it's just a matter of when..

Anyhoooooo, enough complaining- time to do some chores before work! TGIF!

WELL, It's been forever since I've been on here, I can't even remember what my ticker was at when I last logged on! I hope all the Mainer's out there are successful, and keep in touch!

Hi Sarah, I don't know if you remember me..I had tons of questions about 6 months ago...well as of Thursday I was approved. How are you doing? I am looking at Feb 13 (yes that is a Friday..lol) for a surgery date. I have all my other dates so it is all down hill from here. I look forward to hearing from you!

      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... :(
