Hey bro! Yeah man, its been quite a journey... am about 10 months post-op...in many ways its not what I expected... there is still a lot of work you have to put into it. Like people have said many times, there is no lap band for the mind. I'm down about 60 lbs. Have had some fluctuations, but none of the complications you described. I have NOT ONCE had to throw up. I do feel a lot better, have had to change wardrobe once already. Its worth it, but a lot more work that I had originally thought. You are still the one that has to make the right decisions, and if that's a problem for you right now, then think about addressing those first before putting yourself through this

      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! 😞
