No crunches yet, but I sure feel like I didn't do enough of them pre-op! Because I have done so many crunches to get ready, they think my stronger abs (stronger than the average Banded that is) really helped with my recovery. The crunches and the walking I do...

No pizza, not even anything pizza flavored... I added a Protein shake last night and felt much better.

Only needed on dose of pain killers yesterday, hoping for none today. Still taking the baby gas relief drops.... I find there isn't any gas pain, just some pressure, and the drops help me burp. I figured out all by myself that drinking a can Dr. Pepper would be a BAD idea....

We will be taking me back to exile on Friday though ;)

Yup, this is spring break for me, and no, I live in my exile alone... So alone... Just me and my pink hair... Classes resume on Monday...

My son is 18, so it isn't like he's a wee babe... ;) (warning, proud mamma moment...) At the health club, he reps over 1,000 pounds for the leg press... No wee babe...

Oh my gosh, I knew he was grown, but I thought he was around 15 or so...okay, he can stay without you...but is your pink hair enough to keep you company? Please tell me you have semi-sane friends to check in on you there...then, of course, there's always us through your computer....Aaahhhhhhh (sigh of relief)

      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?
