Hi!

Congratulations on your choice. It's too bad you have to finance it yourself, but on the other hand, you don't have to spend time worrying about that!

I'll be going through the holidays newly banded, my date for surgery is Nov. 14. Maybe we can go through the holidays talking to each other comiserating over not being able to eat goodies, but celebrating as every pound drops away. :o

I've been to ME many times, it's beautiful.

Good luck to all of you. And nobody said you can't enjoy goodies on the Holidays. Sounds like if everyone has surgery around the same time you will at least be to mush stage. Just eat in moderation. If I want something I eat it......just not the whole bag or container as in the past. Keep us posted and best wishes.

      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?
