Recommended Posts

Hi guys I had sx Oct 25 2012...and quickly dropped down to 185-188...However, i been stuck at this weighy since feb!! I work out..eat within my range..sometimes 140 g of Protein a day!! When I went to my follow up appointment I told them about my frustrations because according to the BMI chart I should weigh around 140...I am 5'6. Well they did a Body Scan Analysis on some fancy machine that breaks up ur body composition....welll come to find out my body weight mostly consist of dense muscle mass...and that I am retaining Water because hardly drink water or fluids...over 5 lbs!!! And it determined I omly have 18 lbs to go!! That seems so much more doable than 48!!! Well I started insanity and Shakeology so hopefully gettij g this weig ht off in a few weeks....the moral of the story.... COMMUNICATE with your Surgeon!! They know what's best for u and ur situation

      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! 😞
