The way my dr explained it to me is it is actually better to lose at a slower rate because then you won't have as Much loose skin- you have time to firm & tone at the slower rate :) hope he's right!

I need all the help in that area....skin doesn't stretch so well at 50 lol

I have actually told my husband that the difference from before my surgery and now is that I really can't give up when I hit the stalls and get frustrated because the change was my made to my body. That's why I can succeed at this! I just can't give up and I won't sabotage my surgery. I keep telling myself that no matter what or how slowly i will eventually lose this weight' date=' even though it's difficult. I also keep saying slower weight off better For my old skin.

But I'm not saying I'm not experiencing frustration for not losing but I'm having to use positive self talk so I keep going forward with a positive attitude BUT it's sooo hard to see so many losing so much and I lose a total of 6-7 pounds in three weeks!!

Stay strong we will both succeed at this and one day look back and laugh!![/quote']

      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! 😞
