@destineex33 where did you have your surgery done at? At the moment I feel like I'm doing something wrong and the weight isn't coming off. Like I don't know if I'm not eating enough or eating the right things.

How long ago did you have surgery? I go through periods where My weight loss stalls. Once I had a whole month. If You're not eating enough your body will go in starvation mode, maybe that's What it is

I had my surgery on April 1st of this year. I usually eat 3 meals a day 95% of the time. I get 40g of Protein through my Isopure drink a day. I haven't ate sweets or any bad stuff. I'm starting to try foods again but get scared I'm going to get sick

Where do you get your Protein Drinks at? I'm still not finding one I like. Sounds to me like You're doing everything right.. probably just stalling a bit

I found these drinks at GNC called Isopure. There are usually in the refrigerator section and in a glass bottle. They have all kinds of different favors. grape and alpine punch are my favorite. They are kind of expensive but if that's the way I have to get my Protein I will. I usually have skim milk with sf chocolate Syrup in the am followed by 8oz of Protein Drink. For Breakfast I usually eat lot and fit Greek yogurt and a fruit cup. lunch is usually a meat Protein with veggies and same with dinner

      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! 😞
