Wow will2014!!! You are doing great. So happy for you. I am now 5 1/2 months post-op and down 98 pounds. I'm pretty proud of myself. I have not reverted to old habits except for lack of exercise. I avoid it like the plague which is something I know I need to change. I so want to drink diet coke but have not given into that urge. All in all I'm progressing nicely. Thanks for the feedback!!

You look so young!!! Awesome!

Basically it's a step past the sleeve where the duodenal valve is switched from the small intestine to the large intestine. I have almost no absorption of fats and calories but also vitamins and nutrients so I take a lot of supplements.

@@delightfulness I am a duodenal switcher. Not just sleeve. Thought I should clarify for you. I wish you lots of luck and good wishes on your journey!!

I really enjoy beef or chicken soups.

Everyone looks great!! This is me before (right) and almost 5 months post-op down 90 pounds (left.) Still have aways to go but feeling great!!

I haven't tried any vegetables but I had soup with spinach in it and I vomited all evening. I'm guessing it's just too hard to digest right now.

Everyone looks amazing and healthy!!

Oh I'm so happy you are ok!!! I thought something God forbid happened. Im so glad you are doing better!!! I'm fine. Go for my labs this weekend. 12 weeks this weds! Can't believe it. All the best to you.

Down 54 pounds in 9 weeks????

Does anyone know tracy6914? We had our surgery the same day, July 16, 2014, and we were messaging. She had many complications and I have not heard anything from her since 8/30/14. I'm so worried about her. I just want to make sure she's ok. Thanks for any info in advance:)

Proud Grammy you are so right! My expectations are too high. It's like being on a diet before surgery, not eating a Hershey bar one day and wondering how much weight I lost. Totally unrealistic I know. ???? Postop I have been to some meetings at NYP but there were no ds'rs so I might try Lenox Hill. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you for the positive encouragement!

Not that I'm not happy. I'm not sure if that is a good amount for this surgery. Am I on track? That's all. Sorry to bother you but you didn't need to respond like that. ????

Hi! I am 8 weeks out today from DS. I have lost 49 pounds. I feel like I should have lost more. Has anyone else had similar results or better/worse they can share? I still have at least 51 to go. Thanks!!
