Ok, so it's been a month and I am officially sitting at 15 lbs lost, and I'm down from an 18/20W to a missy 18, in some things I can wear a 16. Had a two week+ plateau there where I started regretting the surgery, but overall I am very happy with things. Went out to eat last night for the first time and no one said anything about my 'wierd eating', but someone did comment on how good I looked and how slim my face was looking...made me happy, lol! Hubby says that he can tell I am losing weight in my stomach, which is my problem area...I think that even during my stall I was losing inches there, as during that time I made the transition down in jean size. This has been the beginning of a long journey, but I can honestly say that if I had to make the decision again I would do the plication surgery all over again.

Wow Chow!

You are doing great!

You will start noticing changes soon in your clothing - as you get smaller, it takes fewer pounds to move down in size. I was stuck at size 22/24 for a while and now I'm finally getting ready to move into size 18s. My body seems to be firming up a bit! ;)

Congrats and KUP!!

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! 15LBS in ONE MONTH IS VERY GOOD! AND MAGGIE IS SOOOO CUTE!

Thank you-I'm right at 20 lbs right now (1 week and 1 month out) but I think I am entering a stall again. <sigh>

      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! 😞
