I hope you are holding up okay. I know how hard it is to bear the pain of loss, and like someone else said, watch others we love suffer. I lost my mom to a long illness in July. Many prayers and hugs coming your way, Cindy

Hi All,

I have read and re-read your posts over the past few days--all a blur of grief and mourning. Amazing support and I am over and over again blessed to be part of such a great group here at LBT.

My brother's memorial was intense and beautiful. He had excellent life long friends, who all spoke at the service. His girlfriend of two years was in Australia on business when we got the terrible news, and immediatly flew home. Lots of other friends and family appeared out of no where. My parents live on a lake shore where our family has lived for more than 100 years. All the houses were re-opened (these are summer homes) and they were all full with my brothers friends. Local friends appeared with food to feed us all. The weather was, and still is amazing for this time of year--we were all in the boats and wakeboarding, which was my brothers passion. Besides BMW automobiles,---where he was employed as a client advisor on Wall Street in NYC.

I left my parents alone tonight--they are exhausted and I think need time to be alone together.

Thank you again, my far flung friends for your help during this terrible time.

Here is a recent pix of him doing what he loved--wakeboarding. He was awesome.

      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... :(
