Hahahaha I love it!!!! Stay in touch! How's it been for you so far?

Besides this crazy side cramp/sharp pain that I've had for a week now & put me in the ER Sun am...all is good! We had our work weightloss challenge final weighout today & it was 17lbs so I know I'm down that at least from my highest which was pretty much the same as my preop diet weight. Had no pain or nausea. But now I dont seem to like much. Cottage cheese is about it & milk & fudgecicles. Not getting Water in today at all...boo...but pants are baggie!

I definitely feel that. I never thought I could be so un-excited about losing massive amounts of weight in a week, but in the greater context of feeling so "blah", it just isn't as awesome :( hope you feel better soon!

Maybe some sublingual B-12 complex would give u a boost! You are doing great. Get your rest but make urself get up & walk some. One day at a time, trust me, I know.

Question? When you are eating grilled fish do you count raw as your measurement for ounces or when it's cooked? Want to make sure I'm accurate...

I think I;m having the 3 week stall too. Oh well. I guess the scale will move eventually; I did have a couple of incisions open up a little when the stitches came out. I've been nursing them for 2 weeks and they are finally healing pretty well.

I'm down 21 lbs and waiting for more to fall off!

Glad to hear all of you are doing well too. Is anyone still extremely tired?? I am!

Hi group! I just joined the community and this is my first post :-) I am 1 week and day post-op, and down 11 lbs. I was just given the "OK" to move on to creamed Soups. I have celiac disease, so finding a good gluten free Soup has been rather difficult...plus nothing tastes good or looks good to me. I also have trouble with gluten free Protein shakes...either I can't find them, or they taste terrible.

I am feeling better each day, but I do struggle with stomach spasms, and I have diarreah all the time...normal?

Any suggestions on GF soups and Protein Shakes would be MUCHO appreciated :-)

Today is two weeks and one day for me post op! I'm down 29.6 pounds! I am tired most days and I was supposed to go back to work originally today, but I had severe left side pain about four days ago got scared and the doctor signed off on me staying home another week! Started mushy good yesterday! Yummy! Loving the refried Beans, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt and best of all my Protein count has increased tremendously! I can usually eat a 1/2 cup of food it takes me the 30 minutes to get it in!! Feeling less pain in left side today so hopefully I'm done with that! I started at 250 and am 220.4 today! 5' 5" tall

      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! 😞
