I can see the difference!I do think seeing you everyday does make it not as noticeable. My husband can tell I have lost a lot of weight recently but it took a while before he started noticing...To be fair my husband has lost 18 lbs and I cannot tell at all he is 6'2 and he went from 230 to 212 and it is not noticeable to me except that his pants are looser.I however am smart enough to tell him that I can tell ;)

You talking to me sweetie. Lol yes indeed the funny thing is I just started working out in feb of this year. I manipulated my food intake to find out what reacts with what on my diet particular for my body. Its a science. I sit at 180lbs but atleast 10-15lbs is of extra skin. I still feel fat though. Its cool cause it only makes me work harder when I workout. Thanks alot

But I have seen alot of sexy women on here pre and post op. if they put in the effort anythings possible. The main thing is to rid themselves of negative influences.

I'm upset in comparing these before and after pics. The left one is day before surgery and the right is today. My husband made me feel bad. He said he didn't see much of a difference. I haven't been on the scale since 1 week post op. My surgery date was 2-19-2013. At that time I had lost 19 lbs. Do you see a loss or change?

There is absolutely a difference between the two pictures, keep up the good work!

I see the difference in your shoulder/upper arm, there is a substantial difference in your abdomen, and in your-um butt.

I noticed that it looked like your weight loss was 20 pounds? If that's so, most people couldn't tell when I had lost 20, but now that its almost 40, people notice all the time :)

I see a difference- give it time

My ultimate goal is to get my mother in law to notice my weight loss. She doesn't know about the surgery but complains because I don't eat or drink like I did. I have lost 55 pounds and she hasn't said anything about it. I am half way to goal and not one word.

That is unbelievable!!! Congrats on ur weight loss and your mother in law should be ashamed!

first of all, you seem to be losing weight from the largest part of your body first which is your stomach so the weight loss may not be AS OBVIOUS as a person who had big old flaping arms and then suddenly a few weeks later has thin little chicken wings but there is a very obvious loss. I'm not one to ever really offer false comfort but I really don't feel like you have anything to worry about. There is a difference, and there will continue to be a difference.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
