Hey....... I'm just so freaking happy for all of the successful people out there who made it with me or before me :)... I'm also sad for those that are having issues after surgery. Hand in there. Hey I had two days of I hate food,and wala... Popsicle, creamy chicken Soup (it's Water down trust me),water,diet snapple,coconut Water a sip or two a day,that's about it. The shakes are to expensive for me to open it up & have it sitting in the fridge since my pouch is tiny I can get 2oz of liquid at a time. So I'm sticking more to water then anything. I can't offord to be in the hospital away from my babies again for something I can prevent such as dehydration. I keep the water extremely cold & have a few of them cuz by the time I go back to drink it's hot so back in fridge,and out the next. Don't like the opening & closing fridge gotta save energy lolz.. Well...............................well.....................well..........

Smiling here.. I'm doing wonderful. For a moment I thought I would be this big failure & will stay fat forever. I figure everyone is losing weight,and I'm doing the diet,and I lost 15 lbs before surgery I was happy,but after surgery I felt the same like I wasn't losing but I did lose weight. Well I'm still losing weight.

I was 211 when I first started everything then after diet plan before surgery went to 197 then after surgery now I'm currently 187lbs. I'm so damn happy lolz..

If I keep losing weight 2 pounds per day by the end of the month I should be 159lbs which my starting weight 15 years ago was 135lbswhich would mean I would only need 24lbs to get to the weight I started with as a teenager. Holy cow!!! what if I made it in only one month. What happens next??? Do I gain weight on stage 2 diet when I get to eat a little more solid???

Why all the sudden I'm freaken out..... Some one kick me now..

Great job on success. Your body will slow down. I was losing 3-5 pounds in a day in the first few weeks. Then had days I lost nothing. Now I excersize 4-6 times a week and I have steadily lost a pound a day. Somedays nothing is lost and that is ok. You want to give your body the time it needs. Plus the slower you lose the more time you give your skin to adjust. Keep up good work.

Wow you are doing great Mami! I have had no problems with the liquids which was helpful. Walking has been increasing and Protein is hard to get it. I haven't weighed myself yet but your news has encouraged me as we had surgery the same day. I go for my post op appt on Monday so I will weigh then! I too feel great and I thought I would be the one person this surgery would not work for lol but it did ! I only lost 5 on my per op diet and I was freaking out . Now all the stress of wondering if the surgery is going to happen or if I was getting approved or what diet I am going to try next has all left me ! I have my new lifestyle to look forward to ! Imam realizing a lot of my time was spent trying to figure out how to lose weight and it was very stressful ....now I have one plan.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        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... :(
