Recommended Posts

Has time been flying by. I'm still learning my new pouch. I still get Diarrhea about twice a month from to much sugar or fat. I have a very low tolerance to both and I don't always see the trouble coming. Other than that I feel great. My pants sizes are shooting down so fast I have only one pair to wear. I just went under 200 pounds, which to me was a milestone. I love the changes and I see I carry myself proudly. I hope everyone else is seeing the same thing I am and the best of luck in reaching you goal.

My calorie intake varies from day to day but it's mostly under 900 calories. How about your calorie intake? I don't exercise much because of a bad back so it's all on what and how much I eat. I expect, hope (fingers crossed) to be at my goal weight without to much trouble. I'm in a stall now too and anxiously waiting for the scales to start moving again. How long has yours lasted?

The clothes thing is really a challenge but one I am very happy to deal with!

I haves dropped 4 sizes and am close to needing a smaller size in pants already!

I have gone out and purchased a few pair only because I travel so much lately. I just don't want to buy too much because I know I am going to keep losing.

My calorie intake is between 650 and 800 and I exercise every other day but stay very active on the days I don't. No sitting my behind on the couch all day!

Congratulations on your progress and good luck with your weight loss goals!

Hi everyone! I had my bypass in August 2014 and am down 70 lbs! I am feeling great. I am off high BP meds and acid reflux meds. It was the best decision ever. I just did a major clothes donation and purchased new clothes. it was a neccessity though since they were way too big now. Blessings to all of you!

I guess I need to post lol. Almost 5 months out I am down 103 pounds overall (I lost 11 pre surgery). I am very happy with my loss and only another 60 to go until I'm at my goal. It's been hard at times but totally worth it. I'm down to a size 16 from a 24 and I've gone down to a size 40 bra from a 44.

The only thing that stinks is my hair is thinning severely. I know it's only temporary but it's still aggravating.

Keep up the good work everyone!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
