Recommended Posts

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I am 11 weeks out and bought my first whole outfit in the "Regular" size department this weekend. I kept finding myself moving towards the plus sized clothes out of habit. I am so excited for all of us. I went to look for a 16 and had to realize that was not considered a plus size! lol I am down from a size 24 to a 16!

Wow that is so great! What does a typical day look like for you as far as eating? Do you mix it up and do you exericise? I also did the same thing as far as going to plus size area, lol!

Your news is SOOOOO encouraging! I am 4 weeks out today and only down 35lbs (15 of which was during my 2 week pre-op). Was your weight loss slow at first?

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUCCESS!

Well mine includes my pre-op too and my weight loss seems to be slow to me also, but hopefully the weight just keeps coming off and I meet my long term goal. I have never been a person who keeps jumping on the scale but from 6-8 weeks only lost like 4 lbs, but we just have to keep on keeping on! Thanks

I am really disapointed with my loss... 11 weeks and have only lost 28 pounds.... 2-3 pounds a week... very frustrating when you read others that have the big number weight loss. My husgand keeps encouraging me as well that if I stay on 2-3 pounds a week by October I will be 100 pounds loss... that is great so I made it my new target! Possibly if you think long term goal it will help you as well..... hang in there!

      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! 😞
