Hi. I'm going to my seminar on the 2nd of Feb but I don't need a 6 month diet. We can keep each other posted on progress and stuff we learn. :-)

I'm 100 lbs over weight and will be happy to lose just 60! :-) for the past 10 years I've lost 10, gained 20 and I keep going up. Time for change!

You can do it!!!! I lost 23 lbs in 2 months by making changes in my diet mostly!! I cut out ALL bread and chips and ALL Snacks. I ate several a day, so it was a little difficult at first just because of 'habit' not because I was hungry, I was NEVER hungry. I rode my husband's stationary bike three times a week, but only for 10 minutes. I was NOT working up a sweat!! :) It was the food changes that did it for me. I was never a 'coke girl' so soft drinks weren't an issue. If you drink them.....STOP.

Good luck, enjoy the ride, it's wild!! One year post op you'll look back and it will be hard to believe, I promise!!!

Hi ...I am 38 also and been on yoyo diets forever. I am post sleeve and prior to surgery I lost 21lbs on liquids and Protein Shakes. I had the sleeve on 12/26 and since then I have lost only 8lbs. They say this is normal but I was expecting more. I guess I am expecting too much as I am still early on. Not drinking alot I do good to get 30ml a day. Good luck and any questions you will find the answers here every one is so helpful

ONLY 8 lbs???!!!! That is wonderful and that is 8 lbs that is forever lost. Not one of our yo yo things!! Enjoy the ride, it's wild. You'll lose weight faster than your head can keep up, I promise you!!! It's also normal to lose 2 or 3 lbs, then gain it back and then lose it again....up and down several times and then all of a sudden, it's gone for good.....on to the next 2 or 3!!! This is very common, don't fret. If you are doing what you are suppose to do....you will lose at a nice steady pace. Approx 85% of your tummy was removed, it's forced Portion Control. You're doing good!!

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

      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! 😞
