I was sleeved June 11th and also can eat anything but bread' date=' Pasta, rice, salad and beef. I'm lucky if I get 4 or 5 bites down at each setting. I can't do Protein shakes, they make me sick so I try sticking to only Protein foods. I love my fitness pal and am also going to miss my Internet while gone. Do you mind me asking how much you've lost so far?[/quote']

I lost 30 pounds, I started at 182 pre op diet , the day of the surgery I was 171 ... today 152, i am only 5 feet tall so slow loser, but I am happy because I when from size 14-16 petite to size 9 my latest jeans from Hollister..before I cannot find anything for me at that store... Also I am not taking any medications for my allergies and my cholesterol is better then 10 years ago., I am very happy with my results so far.. That is why I want to be good at the cruise and not slip from this opportunity that I am having to star over ,get a second chance made better food choices ;-)

We went on a cruise a couple of months after my lapband. Told myself I could eat whatever I wanted, just had to take the stars at all times. Wanted to know what they were serving at the different food areas? Took the stairs to find out. Took those stairs and walked all over town at each stop. Ended up losing 10 lbs on that cruise. Good luck and have fun!!!

Ok back from cruise. Here is the feedback

1- the tip about using stairs about the ship GREAT my husband loved the idea only my kids complained but we did it most of the time

2- Gym was great when 2 times

3- zumba class in the mornings

4- Always Ordered fish or seafood at the fancy restaurants

5- Breakfast eggs whites omelets with mushrooms and spinach everyday...delicious

When from 152 to 148 in 7 days .. Never counted my calories but I think there where more than 1000 per day. Not Protein shakes at all.. Why eating more I was losing more?

Mine was June 10th do not worry... I have lost 23 after surgery but . I am very pleased with my results. My allergies are better, now i do not need to take steroids to control them also , I am getting complements at my job everyday about looking younger. Who cares about the pounds if we are feeling great... ;-)

      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... :(
