Wow, I continue to be blown away by your experience. Now if only we could control this in a tangible and practical way. I think it was ms skinnyness that posted some good articles not too long ago about little tips for encouraging your body to dump Water faster, but man, 20 lbs over a weekend! I am floored!

I was worried too, but I held onto hope and finally, BAM!!!! All I want you to take away from this is to be patient and stay the course, your body WILL catch up.[/quote']

Yay congrats!!

Absolutely. I know I worked harder to increase my Water intake to about 80 ounces a day, which took diligence because I am forgetful. But I did it. Kept on top of it religiously. I get approximately 70-75 grams of Protein a day. Only about 20 of that is animal Protein, the remainder of my protein comes from quinoa, plain greek yougurt mixed with Protein powder, and chai seeds added to my Water (brilliant idea by the way), and one of my favorite treats, a homemade avacado hummus ^_^ it provides great protien from the chickpeas and avacado has wonderful beneficial fats, Vitamins, Fiber, and flavor! Its just chickpeas, lime, avacado, and fresh garlic cloves. It goes great on anything, 2 tbsp a serving. Talking about it is making me hungry lol.

Anyhow, I had been working up my resistence train gradually from week 3 post op through week 5 post op. The 6th week I was up to 2 hours of resistance training a day broken up into 1 hour twice a day blocks. The 6th week I also began a training schedule to build up my running that I found online. For the first week you run/jog for 60 seconds, then walk for 90 seconds. You repeat this 8 times in a row, 3-5 times a week.

When I say Ive been dedicated, I mean it. That's why the stall was really getting to me, but I kept on anyway because everyone on here says stalls happen and pass, so I held on on the my thin shreds of patience.

      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.

        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... :(
