I start a new job on Monday (which I am super excited about, but that is a different story). I had to turn in my name tag and a sheet signed off by a bunch of different departments to HR. They are on the first floor and I was told they could take my nametag. The girl (I say girl because she couldn't have been over 20) looked me up and down and said I needed to take it up to the 4th floor and since I would need the elevator she would escort me with the key. What the heck? I have lost over 80lbs and feel great. 4 flights of stairs doesn't even wind me anymore. I made it up and down without a hair out of place. She looked shocked. What a dork!

:drool: Congratulations to you!! I am pretty new on my journey but already am able to be more mobile than ever. I feel the some stares when my hubbie (who is also a big guy) and i walk. You can feel the "what are those fat people doing here?" I keep going back with the same confidence you are talking about! Again congratulations. Hope your new job is blessed!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
