I so wish I could commit to this. I have had my husband hide a scale from me so many times

then I went out and bought a miniature scale and hid that from him. I think it's an addiction LOl

I'm terrible about weighing every day and I don't even have my surgery until October 24! But I'm going to make a sincere effort to go to once a week weighing. These fluctuations on a daily basis are driving me nuts and are totally frustrating. I hope to make this thread a weekly part of my weightloss life.

@kbirnie~ in the support groups I've attended and also the online groups. It's been discussed this is not uncommon. It depends on the individually & their recovery. Some make go as far as three months. The importance is to try to keep from dehydration.

I've read on here & my other support group that ginger root is suppose to help with the sickness.

I would not let it go on to long without consulting your physician. Only he or she can really know your situation. Keeping plenty of Water in your system is important.

Try ice chips or shaved ice like they give us following surgery.

Best wishes in your new journey!

I would love to be part of your support group. I am about 2 months out before my sleeve surgery. Hope I can jump in at that time.

Keep up the good work.

      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.

        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... :(
