track your intake and take it into the doctor with you to find out how you can work on it better. This is diet and the same rules apply.

Sorry to hear you are struggling. The key is fining the right formula for you and your band, and not always how filled up you are. I assume you are following a nutritionist program, but I myself have found that I need a few more carbs than my nut had prescribed for me. I loose more weight the weeks that I allow myself healthy carbs (like a bowl of special K or tortillas) than the weeks I stick to high protien. Also, I have found that I have to drink a capful of Miralax in a zero calorie beverage every night to make sure my digestion is working if you get what I mean. Otherwise I am a miserable bloated mess.

Good luck and hang in there...you can do 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! 😞
