Recommended Posts

I had surgery 1/21 and I'm in shock that I did it and now that I lost 40 pounds in five weeks all post op .. I went to work yesterday for the first time a boi did they tell the difference but all where supportive no negative I told mostly everyone at my job so I have no problems w gossip and it just makes my job easier they do worry about me how I'm I doing .. That could be cause it was my first day I'm starting to feel like this is the best thing that's happen to me ..it's weird I'm still wearing my old close there too big for me but I don't want to give them up to go to a smaller size I guess when your over weight big clothes makes you feel good

Thanks everyone to you who are waiting to join the loser bench it's hard the first week or two don't be fooled by the success stories but what I can tell you is it gets better something you don't believe when your feeling bad and once you have more choices of food it's smooth sailing your satisfied and the weight just falls off ..good luck to each and everyone of you

Thats some amazing weight loss. I was sleeved 1 days after you and a couple pounds shy of 40lbs in 5 weeks but I am a guy... we lose a lot quicker so I have read. I don't recall a woman losing this much so quick. Thats awesome new... are you exercising a lot?

Congrats!! We were sleeved on the same day, and I am no where near that kind of loss post-op (only about 15lbs)! Great job! So, what exactly are you doing? I'm struggling to get in all my protein...maybe that's my problem.

I'm don't have any special thing I do I stop the Protein Shakes cause they make me so sick so I stop them at two weeks what I do is eat every two to three hours Protein mostly meat like tuna , chicken salad , egg , chicken today I ate egg for Breakfast , cheese stick for a snack , baked chicken lunch and tuna salad for dinner or maybe left overs from lunch .. No big secret I haven't started exercising but I'm walking more every day cause my job requires me to walk

good deal on the weight loss.. its not an easy thing nope.. but oh the end result.. I too am reluctant to shed the bigger clothes.. the elastic still holds my scrubs up and my shirts are like a mini dress now.. I guess when the elastic no longer holds them up.. I will get new ones. its taken me since dec 20th to lose 58lbs.. im hoping by may I will be down another 50.. lol or at aleast 30.. my hubby is taking me on a cruise to alaska to get away from work and all the stress of making that 60g of protein.. lol.. but you are doing fabulous.. and keep up the excellen work.. welcome to the losers club :)

      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! 😞
