The Dr. said he wasn't going to fill me until I hit a plateau. He said that every once in a while he has a patient who is in the green zone with just the little bit he filled during surgery. He told me that if I stopped losing my 2-3 pounds a week, I could call and he would get me in to do a fill. I'm telling you that I feel the real reason I'm losing weight because I have my head in it. I have never had my head in the game before and I'm happier than I have ever been. Weight has been the only thing in my life that has been out of control and it feels so good to be in control of it, finally.

You are doing super! My doctor bases fills on what I am eating, and how hungry I am. To be honest, I think it's wrong for doctors to say they will only fill when your not loosing weight. As you said, you have your head in the game. It is certainly possible to be loosing weight because your sticking to a program, but have lots of hunger. Just a thought. Best wishes!

Well, the good thing is that I'm not having too much hunger. Because I have my head in the game now, I know that the hunger is not a bad thing, I'm not going to die, it's just a signal.

      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! 😞
