Very encouraging. I'd love to hear a bit about some tools you've used to make such a difference.

I followed my nutritionists plan and as soon as my doctor cleared me for the gym I started exercising and working out. On my right wrist I am wearing a fitbit flex which monitors steps,calories, etc. I recommend some kind of good pedometer. My doctor advised me to walk at least 2 miles a day. I now walk between 4-6 a day. Keeping your heart rate up is key.

It's not bad. I have a little on my arms but it's not that noticeable. Working out helps with loose skin.

Great job Matt. We had almost the exact same starting weight. I was 401. You're doing great and looking good. Keep it up.

How far out are you?

How far out are you?

I'm 17 months post op now. Just had my TT 10 days ago. Someone else asked about excess skin. I had quite a bit around my waist line....there was no avoiding that for me...I had a real big belly. But other than that it's not a problem. I've done alot of working out and alot of running. The lowest I got was 217 but mostly fluctuate around 220-225. But now that I'm post TT I can see abs so I'm not overly concerned with how much I weigh.

      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! 😞
