Sheesh' date=' they owe you a free movie pass or something!![/quote']

The Dr called me Monday to apologize and smooth the waters. He had an emergency in the operating room, which I figured. He said that the whole appt. was handled wrongly and they would be making some changes. My respect for him went back up!

I'm glad your surgeon owned up to the mistakes! Patient satisfaction has become really important for insurance reimbursement amounts this year, so it is good that doctors are stepping up.

It was as if a switch turned off for me at the 6 month mark, and I only lost 2 lbs the whole month of May. I really upped my exercise, and now I will cautiously say I am losing again. I just hope it continues!

Try the 5 day pouch test. It's suppose to help get through stalls. Day 1 and 2 you do only Protein shakes and liquids Day 3 is soft Protein Day 4 is firm protein Day 5 is solid protein

I hear everyone talking about the 5 day pouch test will help break your stalls. Will it work if you are two years out? I have Lost 144lbs but I want to Lose more.

      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! 😞
