Oct 13th here, with Dr. Bauman in Concord, NC. Starting to "nest" kinda like the last few weeks of pregnancy...lol. I've been organizing, planing, making lists...you'd think I'd be leaving hubby in charge for more than a day. LOL Anyone else doing this as an outpatient?

I'll finally be banded on October 11th. Very excited right now and can't believe how fast this last week has gone. At first my date was 7 weeks out and I thought it would never get here - now the closer it gets, the faster time seems to be going. The only thing I can compare it to is maybe being 5 years old and waiting for Santa! Love this site and am so glad that we are all here together....

My date is the 24th. It's been eight months since I started this journey and even though I thought it would never end, it went pretty quick. These last two weeks are a killer. I can't wait.....

      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.

      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! 😞
