Congrats! That is awesome in only 11 weeks. It took me 6 months to lose 30 pounds when I last dieted so put it in perspective and you are looking better in your before and after pics it really shows a difference. Keep up the good work!

I can see such a big difference in your belly from the two pics you have up!!! You are doing a great job & you look fantastic!!! Stay positive & always remember its one day at a time, one foot in front of the other. It took time to gain the weight & it will take time for it to come off. 40 lbs in 11 weeks is awesome & you should be very proud of your progress thus far & may you continue to be so blessed along your journey!!!

That's awesome. I can see the smile and joy in your face with the new you as it's revealed! I think it's positive reinforcement to capture the before... And subsequent many many happy after pictures as we progress along our weight loss journey.

Great progress. You are doing amazingly :) Keep going! @@acampbell1318

Losing 40pounds in 11 weeks sounds fast to me! That's 3.5 pounds a week ... it would be almost impossible to lose that much on a "normal" diet without surgery. And, it probably took way more than 11 weeks to put this much weight on... sp me kind to yourself and patient as it takes time :)

I had a band for 10 years. It took me time at the beginning to get down to a normal BMI... then it was great and I was maintaining (albeit with a lot of hard work!). Then the band failed mechanically, and I had to have it removed, and put the weight back on til obese BMI again :( and now I'm preop for gastric sleeve. Scared, but want to get it done.

      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! 😞
