Thank you Kristi! I've done pretty well so far. I did have some stomach spasms and left side pain for about two months after surgery but all of it was so worth it!! I still have a lot to lose but I feel awesome. So much better than before surgery. You will be able to for sure. The sleeve is the greatest tool. I feel so blessed!! Thank you about the hair. I did have to have 4 inches cut off because it was coming out so bad but now the Hair loss is slowing down. :P

Your doing great!! I had my surgery May 18th and have lost 60 pounds but hit a stall about 6 weeks ago. :( Do you stay within a certain amount or carbs, calories, and Protein?

Hi, I actually hit a stall as well, I think. I try to get in at least 60 to 80 grams of protein. I usually don't eat carbs if I can help it and I don't count calories. I think if I were counting them I would be getting between 600 to 1000 a day. Somewhere in between. I hope for the both of us we break our stall soon!! I know people who have lost 100 pounds since May. I try not to compare myself but I do. :)

Left side pain for 2 months? Ohhh. I'm 3 weeks out and tormented by left sided pain. Anything help alleviate it, or did it just disappear one day?

Btw you look great!

Thank you! :)

Yes, I had left side pain and man was it hard!! I thought something was wrong. Even had a CT scan to see if anything would show why it was hurting. It didn't. So, I just started putting ice and a heating pad on there every chance I got. It seemed to get worse with exercise so I didn't move around alot when it was hurting. It did finally go away about 2 to 2 1/2 months out. There is hope... 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!!

        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... :(
