Married for 7 years

3 Kids-Mallery, Meredith and Miles Logan

Just finished my 6 months doctor supervised, had paperwork sent today and waiting for approval :biggrin2:

I have soooo struggled with weight all of my life which was compounded by the fact that my mother and the whole side of her family is small. My dad's side of the family is the large side. I will never be little, but I can be smaller and I love this group.

Hello all,

My name is Venus

From/Live in Wisconsin

Single, in a relationship with a supportive boyfriend

One beautiful 3 year old (will be 4 on 8/25) but if you ask him, he's 110. (don't ask)

Work in the Accounting field

Attending college, will sit for CPA after graduation May '09

Ready to get back to that b-ball weight, my son loves quite a few sports already, and he's almost 4 feet tall already, so I know he's going to be very active. I would love to be able to play around with him, no matter what the sport is.

Hello Ladies...

My name is Val

I was born and raised in Chattanooga, TN (on the TN/GA border)

I've been married 7 years (not all happy):thumbup:

I have an 11 year old son:thumbup:

I have been struggling with my weight since I added the freshman 15 in college:cursing:

I am so happy that I found this forum. I didn't realize that there was so much support out there at all, much less anything with sistas.

I have only told my husband and son about the surgery. I am just waiting on insurance.:wink2:

Congrats to all of you for deciding to take care of you!:thumbup:

      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... :(
