So tomorrow is 6 weeks. I'm down 29.8 lbs and almost two pants sizes. I lost my back roll and my double chin. I've gained a jaw line and being able to breathe and tie my shoes at the same time.

Yay! ! Great job! I just tried on a pair of 18 petites jeans that I had and they fit. Too hot to wear them tho! Luckily I have clothes down to 14 petite. :)

I can squeeze into an 18 - started as a 22/24. I'm fitting in pants that haven't fit in 2-3 years. :)

Well today made my 5th week out and my experienced today' date=' everything I ate or drank felt like it was stuck and a few minutes later I would spit up thick white mucus, therefore I phoned my surgeon office around 7pm and I received a return call, instructing me to go to the hospital's outpatient unit where I will receive lots of fluids, toradol for pain, and blood work, my nurse said I was experiencing stomach spasms, he said I will receive treatment for 3 to 4 hours for 4 days, until my stomach relaxes and after that I should be fine, God is my help...[/quote']

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is all good...Well, to give you an update, there was nothing really wrong, my pouch for some reason got mad with me and decided to have spasms, it only happened that one day, so to be on the safe side, I was instructed to start all clear liquid again (Damn, I was about to start on solid foods), I have an IV in my arm because I'm receiving daily treatment in outpatient for four days, to assist my pouch to relax for when I move on to regular foods.

I can't seem to eat any kind of meat. Nothing settled well in my pouch. This may just drive me to be a vegitarian. It all looks so good!

I have a fitness brag! This morning I went for a walk and was bound and determined to walk up the hill. I made it a mile all uphill! my total walk was 2.63 miles! I'm so stoked! it was very warm and when I got home i was so sweaty but i also felt majorly accomplished! :D

Great job! You should be proud!

I'm nearly 3 weeks out & I have stalled. The scale actually said I gained back 2 lbs. How the Hell do you gain on this??? I don't feel bad hearing I'm not alone.

Monday I was up 1/2 lb. Went back down, but very frustrating. I have not had one day where I have eaten over 450 calories and I am working out nearly every day. My net calories are often under 100 calories. However, I think that Aunt Flow is preparing for a visit, I am blaming it on that - at least for now!

I am five weeks post opp, and I went to Dr today for my follow up. Since 6-11-13 I have lost 32.2 lbs since then. But I must admit I was a little sad because I only lost 9 pounds since my last appointment which was three weeks ago. I know 9 lbs is good but I wish it was more. It made me more determined to work harder.

      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... :(
