And also are you all exercising or just eating right? I am trying to fit exercise in but its hard between work and kids and their sports. lol. If so, what type of exercise do you do, how frequent and how intense?

I do exercise. I typically work out 4-5 days a week. My workout generally consists of about 25-30 minutes on the eliptical and i usually walk 1-2 miles per day no matter what. I need to do better about adding in weight training and situps but those things are very difficult for me. Once you start its hard to stop exercising because its sort of like therapy. I know your busy but make the time for yourself! IT will help with your weight loss and help you lose it in the right places. I also use my fitness pal to track all my exercise and calories. I shoot for 1100 per day and ill admit there are quite a few days where I eat most of my exercise calories. Some day ill probably have to stop that but for now I am pretty active and im losing on average of 3 lbs a week with some weeks worse or better than others :) good luck to you its sure a lifestyle change and a wild roller coaster ride.

I will be honest I have only change my eating habits a little. More so in the beginning. I just eat way less and don't eat out as much. However, I do work out! I haven't been doing as much weight training since I started the C25K program, but did a lot in the beginning (after being cleared to work out of course). But it works for me. I have never seen a gain on the scale. Even days when I was certain I would. I am in no way promoting this as I know I should probably stick closer to the diet, but this is what is working for me.

Personally, I am eating right no junk no refined sugars low carbs I am also working out daily 40-60 minutes of cardio and weight training every other day

      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!!

      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! 😞
