I'm am 12 months out from my surgery date as of June 6th and my husband is 16 months out. It has been a great experience going through this together. I've lost 130 pounds and he's lost 207 pounds. We both want to lose about 90 or so more pounds each. You can really help each other so much but you are still different people with different bodies and may have different reactions to things. chicken made me sick as a dog and that was all that didn't make him sick when we were in the puréed food stage. Best of luck to both of you!

My husband did it 5 weeks before I did. The only caution I have to give you....men lose weight a lot faster than women. I have to be careful not to get frustrated when watching his losses. He is down about 80 pounds and I'm down about 50. He is only about 10 or so pounds away from goal and i still have about 70 to go. He did his 3/18/13 and I did it 4/22/13. I think it is best we did it together. We would not have been successful otherwise. We relate to what each other is going through, remind each other to stay on track, and approach challenges as a team. I hope it goes as well for you and your husband as it did for us.

      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! 😞
