This is the same post that i posted in Decmber's surgery group. As y'all know I have neen following your group too.

I am sadly (for myself it's sad) reporting that I'm still losing weight and hit my goal weight (125 as of this morn).. I am definitely too skinny. I have upped my carb intake. I am also forcing myself to eat more in calories. I hate being negative on what others think should be a positive task, losing weight. But then again if we all could lose like we did before the surgery, we wouldn't have had the surgery :-) I am still very happy for the tool that I've been blessed with. Now I need to learn how to gain effectively and maintain effectively while maintaining health; as well as, peacefulness in my mind with everything I'm putting in my mouth. So forgive me for the complaint when all of you are working so hard.

My hard work is definitely coming in maintaining w/o losing. I cant wait to hear more goals reached. Hopefully the maintenance will be easier for you than it was for me!!!! I will continue following and posting; meanwhile praying for everyone that is having the surgery, thinking about having it, or have had it. Meanwhile, throw some prayers up for me in not losing anymore, but in gaining then maintaining ;-) the weight :-)

So I have lost 120#s and today for the first time at work I had a Protein Drink this morning and then for lunch I had a string cheese and a couple pistachios then a few minutes later I threw it up. I went to my desk sat there a second went back to the bathroom two more times to get sick. The weird thing is I eat the same thing at work everyday. But the frothy mouth just got me today.

Congrats on the weightloss. It's weird how on certain days that the same meals make you sick. Happens to me all the time.

It seems like you have made the first step...admitting there is a problem. I give you credit for getting honest! Now just decide if you want to stay away from the crap day by day, and make that decision accordingly. It wont be easy, but with help, it can be done one day at a time !

I know I go to therapy every week and it's a struggle to come clean but you have to start somewhere.

Here I may have a solution, if you get dumping from too much sugar.? If you do make your self sick from candy so that you no longer want it. I have seen it work for people in my support group. Keep in mind dumping is rough for some people and a wicked deterrent. Otherwise, search for a healthy substitute, like dark chocolate almonds from blue diamond, sweetened with stevia, have Protein better for you than Cadbury or Hershey.

      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?

      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... :(
