Well today is 6 weeks after my surgery and 8 weeks after I started the liquid pre surgery diet and I have lost 30 lbs.

Its going a little slow but its GOING. It took the last whole month to lost 10 lbs. I know 10 lbs a month is good- it just feels slow while its happening.

I want other people with crappy slow metabolisms like mine to know they aren't alone.

I love you guys because now I dont feel so alone. Sleeved April 29th and have lost 36 lbs since surgery. Keep my calories under 800 day, getting in all protien and Water. I go to the gym 2 miles/5 days a week and have recently added weight training and hired a trainer. Sometimes I want to scream after hearing friends tales of fast losses, when sticking to "the rules" I have weeks I loose nothing. I just dont get it. But it is what it is and Im not a quitter, so Im staying the course and it will all have to come off eventually. I think God is really testing my patience.

I'm right there with you all. Sleeved 5/14/13, I have lost 33lbs. Wish it was more but I know that I wouldn't have lost 33lbs on my own. So as they say slow and steady wins the race. Good luck everyone.

I'm right there with ya! I'm experiencing a stall right now myself. This is my 3rd week from the surgery and 4th from the pre-op diet and I have only lost 37 lbs. I just started my stall last week. UGH!!! I want to scream!!!

I tell you, if it weren't for the fact that I CAN"T eat much the impatience and aggravation from this would have made me binge big time.

I know this is the right thing for me but if I were one of those lower BMI people who didn't have my 43 years of yo yo dieting behind them I would say don't do this. I would tell anyone with less than 100 lbs to lose not to do this. I would tell anyone who hasn't had years of weight problems not to do this.

This is freakin' HARD.

I agree 100% vegasneon!! This is hard. I am sure it will be worth it in the end, but it is by far the hardest thing I have ever done .

Well one more week and I lost 1.6 lbs this week. Somehow it isn't bugging me as bad as it was last week. I am resigned to my doom. I can't decide if I should be more relaxed about what I eat or be more strict. In my prior life I would do a cheat day every 2 weeks but it just doesn't seem worthwhile right now!

I am 8 1/2 weeks post op and am down only 24 lbs. (but not fretting as I lost 45 lbs on my 6 mo. pre op). In those 24 lbs. though, I've dropped 4 pant sizes. i'm hoping slow and steady wins the race.

Great attitude. It seems the more our BMI drops the slower the weight comes off.

      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! 😞

      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.
