Very simple advice... Follow the rules!!

I do exactly what my surgeon and nutrition told me to do.

1 cup of food or 3oz Protein and 2oz veggies

2-3 times a day.. 1 Protein Shake on gym days.. And plenty of water!!

It is very hard in the beginning. Yes it does feel like the end of the world.. It does get discouraging.. But it does pay off!!

Your band is only going to work if you enable it to!

I had 2 fills.. And I'm at. 5ccs...

Exercise... I've been doing things like Zumba, playing soccer, and running after my 2 year old son all day. Lol

I'm staying away from weightlifting for now because I bulk up really fast so I try to do some cardio at least 2-3 times a week

Just under 6 weeks and I have lost 45 pounds since Pre-op diet. I have not really felt hunger or had a problem so far. Very grateful. I exercise 20-30 Min cardio every morning and then add weights at least 2x per week. Thanks for your sharing.

      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! 😞
