Here is a little personal experience, take what is of use to you. My husband lost a lot of weight several years ago, 310lbs to 155lbs and everyone but him thought he went about 15 lbs to far because of how sickly he looked. He is 6'1" and went down to 155. He was a size 52 waist down to a 32. Over the years he has settled at around 170lbs and a size 34 waist, That is where he says he is most comfortable and where he looks the best. To me what made it look like he needed to gain weight was the fact that he lost too much upper body muscle, he just is not a muscular guy to begin with and the shock of him losing all the weight really highlighted the lack of upper body muscle. He couldnt really put on muscle cause he doesnt like to lift weights. I think he looks great now and I think you look great too but only you know how you feel.

Here we are together, He is 155lbs. Yeah, as you can see I gained all my weight back and then some from this diet but he has been one of the 5% that was able to keep it off over 6 years now!

This was last New Year's, He is 170lbs.

      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?

      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... :(
