Been a little depressed cuz I'm having a hard time eating. Everything Sits. So what did I do? Since before my surgery way back in my freezer was little tiny single serve cup of Ben& Jerrys choc fudge Brownie ice cream so I thought, I wanna try it. What a colossal mistake! Too much sugar and its sitting below my esophagus. It was not but 5 spoons full but after 2 I chucked it. Man what a shock to the system. I repent!

It is good you repented and I hope you are not feeling too miserable. It is amazing to me what very little it takes to fill me and I am only a week out. I just started with runny cream of wheat, yogurt, Soup today and could hardly do anything compared to what I was thinking. That is okay. Learning is going to be a forever journey I have a feeling, but one I am glad to undertake. Thanks for sharing your lesson with us.

Those are the lessons we learn the hard way! I find myself doing stupid stuff and end up throwing it away. So now I love throwing bad foods in the trash.....It was such a hard lesson to learn, I was taught to always finish what I put on my plate and my eyes have always been bigger than my stomach.... LOL Still the same today. Am going back to measuring my foods when eating.... :)

Funny, my eyes are also bigger than my stomach! I love that. I measure everything, and I'm still pleasantly surprised at the small volume I can eat. At first I could eat almost nothing, but now can handle 3-4 oz Protein, so it seems like lots more than it was, but it's way less than it used to be.

OP - you are no dummy! You are smarter than you were before, right? :)

      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.

      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! 😞
