There are several on You Tube. Check out Kellawanda.

I can tell you I started out at 241lbs and I'm 5'6". As of this morning I am 2 pounds from my goal, which I am hoping to reach before my 35th birthday which is about 2 weeks away. If you have any questions, I would be glad to answer anything.

Good Luck on Your Journey!!!

Nichole

Congrats on getting sleeved. How is it going with your sleeve?

It's going alright. I'm testing it more than I should. But I'm getting used to it... I'm in the full liquid stage now. Have another week to go.

i have not thrown up at all (except for the day after surgery, but that had nothing to do with eating, it was just nausea from the anesthesia). and the only time i have discomfort is when i try and eat more than a bite or two of solid food. i imagine it's just because it's still early and my healing stomach prefers the liquids.

That is good to know. I get nervous about vomiting and the nausea. I'm such a baby :)

Hi! I'm Jenny and I'm 24 years old. I had surgery on 3/19/12 and I'm feeling really good. My starting weight was 246 and I'm down to 228! 18lbs in 3 weeks and 2 days!!! That is very good encouragement for me and tells me that I'm finally going to beat this battle. Good luck with your journey:-)

      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... :(
