Just Keep Swimming! -- Dory the Fish :cursing:

Simple, but it works for me. :biggrin:

I really like this though:

"Some succeed because they are destined to; most succeed because they are determined to." -by Anatole France.

Thanks for that LilMissBand-Aid! :tongue2: I might just have to fit that in my signature, you are right, it really is inspiring . . . and I'm determined to succeed here!

Great Quotes all!

A favorite of mine..." Happiness is but a state of mind...anytime you want, you can cross the state line." Bob Dylan.

"Life is a journey, enjoy the ride" or better known as...."Sit down, shut up, buckle up and hang on! It's going to be a bumpy ride!" :biggrin:

Some of my favorites:

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." Mark Twain

Nothing beats a failure but a try!

Noone can make you feel inferior without your consent - Elenor Roosevelt

And the one that is in my signature line:

What I do today is important because I am paying a day of my life for it. What I accomplish must be worthwhile because the price is high.

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

Two of my favorites...

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." -Wayne Gretzky

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO! What a ride!"

      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... :(
