How's all of our buffalo friends doing? I'm five weeks out and 33lb down with the pre op diet. I feel like a slow loser. But some weeks I lose a few pounds. Some weeks I hand and some I lose a pound

33 is good everyone loses at a different rate.

Hi out their! I'm from Amherst, my I'm 4days out, I had the sleeve on sat the 12th, I'm still sore and a little dizzy. I would love to go to a support group around here any ideas? I'm already down 20lb starting from the two week pre op diet. My husband is so proud of me. I was also wondering did anyone eat baby food after the first week? What kind did u buy?

Who did your surgery? My surgeon did not allow baby food, never asked why, but they were pretty adamant it wasn't allowed. I had my surgery by Dr Posner at buffalo general and I know there is a support group tonight, but you have to be a patient there.

I go to monthly meetings at my Surgeons office. I live in Cheektowaga. As for baby food I bought whatever was on sale. I also blended my own food a little.

Its crazy how we all lose at different rates. I try not to get discouraged. I am about 5wk out and my scars look ok. I think maybe next year they'll be pretty faded. I am 2hr away so don't attend any support groups.

      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?

      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... :(
