"Only" 50 lbs down?....You are doing amazing!!! Don't compare your results to ANYONE else!! You've lost 81 pounds!! Think about that for a minute....81 pounds!!! And the great thing is that you are going to keep it off!!!

Celebrate your accomplishment...don't diminish it!!!

Keep rockin' your sleeve and you will get there!! And remember, you didn't put it all on in 6 months. You WILL have stalls and plateaus and then you'll have periods where you are losing again.

SLOW AND STEADY wins the race!!!!

And BTW...your stats are very similar to mine. I'm almost 5'9" and I started at 339, had surgery at 312 and I was at about the 50 pound mark at 6 months...which I was THRILLED with!! I've lost about 90 since surgery and I'm almost 17 months out.

I haven't lost ANYTHING since the one year mark and it's not because my sleeve doesn't work....it's because I relaxed and I'm not working it!!! Am I frustrated?...Yes!!! But I am still absolutely, 100% happy with my decision to have the sleeve....even if I NEVER lose another pound I am happier with my life becasue I feel like the 115 pounds I've lost (and have kept off BTW) has enabled me to be the person I always knew I was on the inside!!

I have 45 pounds more to lose and it doesn't matter if it takes me another 2 years to get it off....it's coming off!! So be patient with yourself. LIVE in the process of this amazing journey!! It's a much better way to live than to feel frustrated about a number on a scale....which doesn't really tell you anything!!!!

      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! 😞
