The chat room is pretty cool. I was in there the other night and at that time was only a few days post - op. They were talking about food, and at that point I didn't care if I ever ate another thing again. Talk of oysters and Sushi were making me sick, I had to leave... There seems to be a small crowd of "regulars" and others check in from time to time. It's great for me since I'm home alone recuperating... it's like having company. :)

It has moved to the bottom right hand corner of my screen.

I don't like it since they moved over to this new system. The chat program is completely different.

It's up above . You have to click on community.

I don't think people can find it. You can put up a post asking if anyone wants to chat. You can minimize this window and open another window and do other things. Then you can see if anyone comes in.

I can't imagine what would cause this if she hasn't been sleeved yet.

If she has already had her surgery, she should talk to her surgeon. It sounds like dumping syndrome, but I can't imagine a Protein shake causing it.

I had weight loss surgery in Sept 2011 and I had lost 100 pounds. I got pregnant and of course they put me on the gestational diabetes diet because I couldn't take the test. Then when I tried to breastfeed I followed their advice and ate how I was supposed to. Now I have gained back 50 pounds and I feel like I am hungry all day. I am at a loss and don't know what to do. I don't have insurance but can your stomach stretch out like before? I also should mention that after having my daughter I also had to have a massive knee surgery and I had to have a major lipoma in my back removed because of the pain it was causing. I am just now starting to work out again 5-6 days a week. Any advice, stories, anything are helpful!

Is it only on computer or can it be accessed on Mobil?

I will message Alex and find out if we still have a chat room available. They redid the format around here, and everything was different. I don't see a button for a chat room anymore.

Everytime I peek, there is no one there. Now, I am used to talking to myself, but don't want to bore myself on a public forum....

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
