50 Days in and I have a couple of Questions......



Recommended Posts

I guess this is the Room I start in. I am a 36 Year Old Guy and my starting BMI was 35. I am 6'6". I was at 305 and got to about 294 the day before surgery. I have been about 50 days since Surgery and seem to be stuck at 281.

My goal is in the 230 Area for a total of 75 Pounds. I have been getting a lot more exercise and I need to ramp it up. I eat about half of what I used to eat. I cut out Soda with no probblems, but I miss Beer a ton.

I was surprised that I lost weight from strange places to begin with. Tops of my Feet and my Butt. Face and Neck were a welcome surprise, I wish more of it came from my belly.

My attitude is good, I know I made the right decision. Now I just need to pay for it since insurance gave me a big, fat 0.

Regards,

Thor

I got stuck at 218 and again at 210. I learned that I have to kick up my exercise and be more on target with my food when I get stuck. Hubby just told me last night that the weight seems to be coming off more above the waist.. My hips, thighs and belly aren't going down as fast and I am running. Sorry about the insurance. It is worth it. Just don't get frustrated keep at it. You will break past this wall.

      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! 😞
