hey! the first couple months were hard! But now that i am almost a month post op I am soo glad of where i came. The pre op diet sucks big time and i was an emotional wreck! I can now eat mushy foods and boy can i tell you they never tasted soo good! look for the positives in everything.... for instance i used to not be able to walk hardly at all and yesterday i walked a mile ! OR when your clothes start being looser and you get full easier and faster. thats what got me through. good luck to you! message me if you ever need to talk

yes, they sound like theyre going to be real hard.Ive been doing weight watchers since feb and lost 30 lbs.so then i bounce back and forth between thinking maybe ill just stay on that but i know i have a hard time keeping it off.Ive looked at the forums on their site from lap banders and some of the post were not encouraging. Talking about bands slipping and having problems..yikes! thats all i need.

i have heel spurs in both feet so the walking can be a challenge for me too at times,i think me being lazy is more of a problem lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
