Good Grief! You look fantastic but I have to ask... how on earth did you lose almost 100 pounds in only four months? I know I've read other similar posts but, man, my surgery was on Nov.23 (just a few days after yours) and I'm only down about 37 pounds. I know we all lose differently along with having different stats. I'm 47 years old, 5'9'' tall, and started at 250 pounds. Frustrating but I know it'll eventually come off.

Congrats again on your wonderful accomplishment.

Petra

Petra-

My surgeon seems to think my success is pretty closely related to my age. He was shocked with my results so far, as I have been. Also, I started at a much higher weight (and shorter height!) than you, so your 37 pounds lost puts you not far from me on the scale. You should be so amazingly proud of yourself for everything u have accomplished and will continue to accomplish!

      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! 😞
