Congratulations on the weight loss and the new baby (I assume you had the baby?)

I recommend you make an appointment with your NUT to talk about strategies for reaching your goals going forward.

In the meantime, go back to basics.

Follow your program.

Weigh, measure, and track your food.

Practice mindful eating, eat slowly, take small bites, and chew thoroughly.

Focus on reaching or exceeding your Protein and Fluid target every day.

Avoid starches and added sugars.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as instructed.

And, exercise.

Embrace the Stall!

That's what I would do -- go back on the pre-op diet.

My pre-op diet was 2 wees. Week 1: 2 Protein shakes and 350-400 cals for dinner. Week 2: 3 Protein Shakes. During those two weeks I'd make sure I was drinking at least 64 ounces of Water daily. Would this be hard? Probably. But I could do it.

After that I'd probably do 1,200 calories a day -- Protein, healthy/colored veggies, whole grains, the 64 ounces of Water. ZERO slider foods. ZERO simple carbs. ZERO sodas. ZERO liquid calories (unless I was using a Protein Drink for breakfast).

And I'd do that for as long as I needed to to lose the rest of my excess weight. I'd stick close to this forum. I'd exercise. I'd plan and track all my food on My Fitness Pal, too, which has been very helpful for me.

And, of course, I'd take all my Vitamins / minerals / supplements / meds as prescribed -- daily and on time.

Good luck!

How about the, "5 Day Pouch Test"? It might just jump start you back onto the right track.

--and a visit with your nutritionist after a consult with your surgeon.

You got this!!

Please, keep us posted.

      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! 😞
