Hi everyone' date='

Yesterday was 6 months post-op for me. I have my 6 month post-op appointment next weeks. I am really happy with my progress thus far, however i fear that I wont reach my goal :( .....

Overall I feel GREAT!!![/quote']

I had my 6 month check up today. All is well. I am a little low in the Iron department but was told to double up on the iron and get blood work done in 3 months. I only have 22 pounds to go until goal and my doctor was very happy. I'm so happy! I weigh 152.

Hi surgery buddies! How is everyone doing?

Doing well! Weight loss has definitely slowed, but that is all my fault for reintroducing certain things I shouldn't. Down 93 pounds, 6 pounds away from making the higher part of my ideal weight range. Would like to lose 20 though, just to make sure I am still in this range if I gain a few later after pregnancy. How have you been doing?

I am on another stall. I think it is bathroom issues. For the past 2-3 days I feel so bloated and gassy and cramping. Just took some dulculax and Miralax so hopefully it helps!!

I unfortunately can eat most anything. Thing I haven't tried and refuse to try is ice cream. I've heard to many horror dumping stories!! I just started 2 weeks ago to add fruit. Cuties hurt my stomach but apples seem ok for now. Yesterday I finally got to onderland for a total loss of 88 pounds. Will be 6 months on the 29th

I to can eat anything. Including ice cream. But I only have no sugar added and only a couple of bites. I am kind of glad that I can tolerate anything. It teaches me that I have to cut down and limit, which I do. Granted I have started to snack at night again but I try to keep it at cheese or some sort of meat. Not the junk I used to eat. I am down 84lbs. I need to work more on getting more tone. I walk but I think I need more. What do you all do for exercise?

I had surgery 10/3, i am losing weight but feel low on energy (even tho i go to gym every other day), my 6 month post op blood work revealed that my B1 is very low so I'm hoping after i get a shot i will have more energy :)

Had my six month appointment yesterday. Down 121 lbs, a total of 58% of my excess weight! For the first time ever, I was told I had to eat more!!!

Has anyone tried drinking yet? I'm celebrating my 30th birthday this weekend and would like to have a sip or two. What works? What are some good choices? Am I the only one crazy enough to try this? Feedback is appreciated!

      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.

      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! 😞
