You have gout do to too much Protein. Yeah I was border line with Hoyt but thankfully my levels regulated themselves.

I feel like I am stuck at my current weight. I've been stressing so much with life and I've been tempted to eat junk food. The only good thing is I can't binge eat like I use to but I have made some bad food choices.

I am trying to stop that real quick cause I don't want to defeat the purpose of the surgery.

We all make bad choices sometimes. Just get back on track. You can do it. Look how far you have come. Good luck!

Just wanted to see how many guys are actually on here. Would be nice to voice our thoughts' date=' opinions, updates more often.[/quote']

Checking

I bring the rare position (according to my doc) that there are not a lot of 60-year-old guys opting for this surgery. Over the next three weeks i will have stomach scoping, cardio and pulmonary exams as well as the psyche evaluation. Current weight is 402. Doc says I should plan on getting down to 200. I am soooo excited

      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... :(
