How does your weight on the day of surgery compare to your weight on the day of your first fill? More? Less? The same?

I'd have to go back to my blog to be sure, but I think I lost about 40 lbs between surgery & my first fill 5 weeks later.

I was 240 prior to surgery and weigh in at pre-ops at 235lbs. I have not had a fill yet and I don't know when I will get one but as of now, I've lost 41lbs from surgery date to now.

04/11/2006 till now 41lbs, no fill, 7 weeks out

See you people... that had restriction without a fill and lost weight are sooooo lucky! I know that some of you are "RULE FOLLOWERS" (no meaness intended) but it's 100% easier to follow the rules with restriction.

When you go that first 6 weeks with no restriction what so ever like I did it was like rubbing salt in a $17,000 dollar wound.

Now I finally understand.... and feel good with the rules and my eating life style but man it was sooo hard that first 6 weeks. I'm so jealous of you people that lost.

I'll admit it. I'm a hardcore rule follower. When I set my mind to something there is no other option. I've been called a pitbull a time or two in my life :)

      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! 😞
