THanks Michelle: I am supposed to take it easy tonight. So, dinner is not an option. BUMMER!! I am breaking the rules by even being online. LOL!!! I do it for short periods of time. I get bored easily. If I had workout clothes with me I would go to the gym here. LOL!! And I am being tortured cause there is a starbuck's just down the street (within walking distance) but it is raining. GRRRRRRRRRR!!! That is just wrong.

Glad to hear you are doing OK

I'm real close by if you need anything

Hi Penni. Glad things went well & you're feeling up to typing. I caught you cheating on the pill thread! I hope your recuperation (sp?) continues to go smoothly.

Best wishes,

Karen

someone needs to tell Penni that rain should never be a factor whether to go to Starbucks or not. In Seattle we never let the rain stop us from doing anything.

I say "tell" because SHE SHOULD BE RESTING THOSE PEEPERS OF HER!

Hugs Penni, and I'm glad things went well!

OK I stand corrected about the rain. But I couldn't go out in it with the eye surgery. LOL!!

The whole thing took about 5 min. The prep time was longer than anything including the drive to the clinic. That took 15 to 20 min. Then wait for them to give instructions; then wait to be taken back; then wait for the surgeon to come and talk to me. Then 5 min to get lased. LOL!!

Cute little goggles put on. Pics coming later.

Then go to hotel room lie down for 2.5 hours and sleep. Then get on computer which was a NO NO! But I had to check in with you wonderful people. Ordered room service that night. Went to bed sorta early. WITH GOGGLES ON!! ARGH!!

Next day travel back to Clinic to be checked out and to put on the cute little loaner glasses to protect my eyes for 5 days. PIC to follow. I hate them of course. John says I look very professional in them. I told him to not get used to them cause they are history. Then home now.

Oh I have 20/15 distance vision now. WHOO HOO!! Monovision is the bomb. I can't even tell I had anything done other than perfect vision now. Crisp, clear, and so much better. I can read 20/20 where I couldn't before.

Anyone in the area and need a good reference for Lasik surgeon just let me know. I will be happy to give a referral.

Hi Penni,

Sending good wishes your way, let us know the outcome of your eye surgery. I have considered but wanted to do the lapband first.

Good luck with the surgery Penni. I wish I was a candidate for that type of surgery, but I am not. I had to get Progessive lenses now for my glasses. I love them.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. 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.

        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... :(
